Description

透過雷射結晶設備的雲紋量化系統及透過雷射結晶設備的雲紋量化方法Moiré quantification system through laser crystallization equipment and moiré quantification method through laser crystallization equipment

本發明關於一種雲紋量化系統及方法,更明確地關於一種透過雷射結晶設備之雲紋量化系統、及一種透過雷射結晶設備之雲紋量化方法,該系統藉由量化一基板中之雲紋來即時判定基板的品質以提供穩定的製程管理,其中該基板在一雷射結晶裝置中結晶化。The present invention relates to a moiré quantification system and method, and more specifically to a moiré quantification system through laser crystallization equipment, and a moiré quantification method through laser crystallization equipment. The system quantifies the clouds in a substrate The pattern is used to instantly determine the quality of the substrate to provide stable process management, where the substrate is crystallized in a laser crystallization device.

通常需要將譬如非晶質矽薄膜(amorphous silicon thin film)等非晶質多晶形薄膜(amorphous polycrystalline thin film)結晶化之製程,以製造譬如液晶顯示器或太陽能元件等電氣/電子元件。A process of crystallization of amorphous polycrystalline thin films such as amorphous silicon thin films is usually required to manufacture electrical/electronic components such as liquid crystal displays or solar devices.

需要輻射具既定能量之雷射,以將非晶質矽薄膜結晶化成晶形矽薄膜(此後,為了方便,將待結晶化薄膜稱為「基板」)。該製程中之能量的密度被稱作能量密度(此後稱為「ED」),且具有將結晶化結果最佳化之條件的ED稱作最佳化能量密度(此後稱為「OPED」)。It is necessary to irradiate a laser with a predetermined energy to crystallize the amorphous silicon film into a crystalline silicon film (hereafter, for convenience, the film to be crystallized is referred to as a "substrate"). The density of energy in the process is called energy density (hereinafter referred to as "ED"), and ED with conditions for optimizing the crystallization result is called optimized energy density (hereinafter referred to as "OPED").

當以掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)針對曝露於一具有OPED之雷射下的產品進行觀察時,晶粒之方向均一致,且晶粒尺寸之均勻性亦屬最優。然而,由於製造程序所需之時間及人力,大體上不可能以SEM檢查所有產品。When using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe a product exposed to a laser with OPED, the orientation of the crystal grains is consistent, and the uniformity of the crystal grain size is also optimal. However, due to the time and manpower required for the manufacturing process, it is generally impossible to inspect all products with SEM.

緣是,已建立一經由目視檢測來選擇OPED之標準,其被稱作雲紋,且係基於雲紋的強度、發生頻率、及發生趨勢來判定OPED。當以目視檢測已歷經ED分裂(在不同ED下,對數十毫米之區域實施結晶化的試驗)之產品時,將難以觀察雲紋,且在OPED區域中可較在ED區域中清楚地察看該產品,及當從OPED區域到一較高ED區域時,將顯現許多雲紋。OPED將依此方式被選定。The reason is that a standard for selecting OPED through visual inspection has been established, which is called moiré, and it is determined based on the intensity, frequency, and trend of the moiré. When visually inspecting a product that has undergone ED splitting (a test of crystallization of an area of tens of millimeters under different EDs), it will be difficult to observe the moiré, and it can be seen more clearly in the OPED area than in the ED area This product, and when moving from the OPED area to a higher ED area, will show a lot of moiré. OPED will be selected in this way.

另一方面,使用雷射之結晶化製程係掃描製程,其中雷射脈衝將重疊,且將在重疊區域中因不同於周圍之能量差異而產生雲紋。如此產生之條紋被稱作點(shot)雲紋。On the other hand, the crystallization process using lasers is a scanning process, in which the laser pulses will overlap, and moiré will be generated in the overlap area due to the energy difference different from the surroundings. The fringes thus produced are called shot moiré.

又,當待結晶化基板被掃描,且對目標薄膜實施結晶化時,將藉線性雷射光束之不均勻性產生色斑,其被稱作掃描雲紋。In addition, when the substrate to be crystallized is scanned and the target film is crystallized, the unevenness of the linear laser beam will generate color spots, which is called scanning moiré.

為了在藉結晶裝置進行結晶化後,檢查產品的品質,已使用在試驗儀器中目視檢驗產品的目視檢測。In order to check the quality of the product after the crystallization device is used for crystallization, visual inspection has been used to visually inspect the product in a testing instrument.

然而,目視偵測雲紋有其限制,且依據位置產生各不同型態之雲紋,而難以檢查該雲紋。又,檢測人員有檢測差異,使檢測之生產力、準確度、及重現性較低。更,由於需要檢測人員,因此將浪費人力及成本。However, visual detection of moiré has its limitations, and different types of moiré are generated depending on the location, and it is difficult to inspect the moiré. In addition, the detection personnel have detection differences, which makes the detection productivity, accuracy, and reproducibility low. Moreover, due to the need for inspection personnel, manpower and cost will be wasted.

用於取得結晶化基板20之雲紋影像的影像取得單元210係常用的電荷耦合元件(CCD)攝影機,其連接至中央處理單元240以作開啟/關閉、角度(θ)及操作控制,其中使用一面型攝影機211(第3圖)及一線性掃描攝影機212(第5圖)以減少偵測雲紋所耗費的時間,且可使用其他能夠取得影像之攝影機。The image acquisition unit 210 for acquiring the moiré image of the crystallized substrate 20 is a commonly used charge coupled device (CCD) camera, which is connected to the central processing unit 240 for opening/closing, angle (θ) and operation control, among which An area camera 211 (Figure 3) and a linear scan camera 212 (Figure 5) reduce the time it takes to detect the moiré, and other cameras that can obtain images can be used.

當需要使用面型攝影機211來取得影像時,如第4圖所示,可能藉調整一同步化觸發而依固定間隔取得影像。例如,可能反應關於平台130位置之編碼器訊號來調整面型攝影機211之觸發,以依固定間隔取得雲紋影像。緣是,可能尋得已在基板20上取得到的雲紋影像,而可能輕易地判定依據基板20上多個位置之良好與不良結晶。When it is necessary to use the area camera 211 to obtain images, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to obtain images at fixed intervals by adjusting a synchronization trigger. For example, it is possible to adjust the triggering of the area camera 211 in response to the encoder signal about the position of the platform 130 to obtain the moiré image at a fixed interval. The reason is that it is possible to find the moiré image that has been obtained on the substrate 20, and it is possible to easily determine good and bad crystals based on multiple positions on the substrate 20.

又,可能藉調整對每一OPED區域、即每一最佳化能量密度區域之觸發,以依固定間隔取得雲紋影像。亦即,可能藉由對每一基板20區域以不同OPED實施結晶化、及輸入OPED至影像取得單元210作為觸發,以判定何處已較佳實施結晶化。In addition, it is possible to adjust the trigger for each OPED area, that is, each optimized energy density area, to obtain a moiré image at a fixed interval. That is, it is possible to determine where the crystallization is better performed by performing crystallization with different OPEDs for each area of the substrate 20 and inputting the OPED to the image acquisition unit 210 as a trigger.

照明單元220被設置於影像取得單元210之一側端且照射結晶化基板20,以可適當地取得影像,其中可藉由以下將說明之中央處理單元240來控制照明單元220之角度、及開啟/關閉。The lighting unit 220 is arranged at one side end of the image acquisition unit 210 and illuminates the crystallized substrate 20 so that images can be appropriately acquired. The central processing unit 240 described below can control the angle and turn on of the lighting unit 220 /shut down.

倘必要時,可使用複數個照明單元220,且可進一步設置一偏光鏡250或一綠色濾光鏡於照明單元220或影像取得單元210前方,以取得具有顯著雲紋的影像。If necessary, a plurality of illumination units 220 can be used, and a polarizer 250 or a green filter can be further arranged in front of the illumination unit 220 or the image acquisition unit 210 to obtain an image with significant moiré.

第7A圖係當偏光鏡250被設置於照明單元220前方時的示圖,其中二照明單元220被設置於影像取得單元210之一側端,且提供數個偏光鏡250。亦即,一第一偏光鏡250被設置於不具有偏光的一普通照明單元220前方,以達成具有偏光的光源;及一第二偏光鏡250被設於影像取得單元210與基板20之間。緣是,藉旋轉偏光鏡250,使得只有與雲紋具相同方向的光線通過,以取得具有顯著雲紋的影像。FIG. 7A is a diagram when the polarizer 250 is installed in front of the illuminating unit 220, wherein two illuminating units 220 are installed at one side of the image acquisition unit 210, and a plurality of polarizers 250 are provided. That is, a first polarizer 250 is arranged in front of a general lighting unit 220 that does not have polarized light to achieve a polarized light source; and a second polarizer 250 is arranged between the image acquisition unit 210 and the substrate 20. The reason is that by rotating the polarizer 250, only the light with the same direction as the moiré passes through, so as to obtain an image with significant moiré.

又,如第8B圖所示,可藉設置綠色濾光鏡於照明單元220前方,以取得具有顯著雲紋的影像。Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8B, a green filter can be arranged in front of the lighting unit 220 to obtain an image with significant moiré.

又,影像處理單元230實施影像預處理及影像處理,以在已取得到的雲紋影像上取得反差影像,並且分析經處理過的影像成數據來量化雲紋。In addition, the image processing unit 230 performs image preprocessing and image processing to obtain a contrast image on the obtained moiré image, and analyzes the processed image into data to quantify the moiré.

通常難以目視辨識雲紋影像,因此需析取反差影像來增加該雲紋影像之可見度,因此藉由平均已取得到的影像中之局部亮度值來創建平滑影像,以取得反差影像。It is usually difficult to visually recognize a moiré image, so it is necessary to extract a contrast image to increase the visibility of the moiré image. Therefore, a smooth image is created by averaging the local brightness values in the acquired image to obtain the contrast image.

藉由從最初取得到的影像扣除透過預處理所取得到的參考影像數據值,將取得反差影像。藉由輸入基於該反差影像之譬如反差比及線型等選擇性條件,可取得分析影像。緣是,將取得最終雲紋偵測之量化影像數據。By subtracting the reference image data value obtained through preprocessing from the initially obtained image, a contrast image will be obtained. By inputting selective conditions such as contrast ratio and line type based on the contrast image, an analysis image can be obtained. The reason is that the quantified image data of the final moiré detection will be obtained.

個人電腦通常被用作為中央處理單元240,其控制影像取得單元210、照明單元220、及影像處理單元230,顯示藉影像取得單元210所取得之影像的數據、及藉影像處理單元230所取得的影像,以及判定結晶化基板20的品質。A personal computer is usually used as the central processing unit 240, which controls the image acquisition unit 210, the lighting unit 220, and the image processing unit 230, displays the data of the image acquired by the image acquisition unit 210, and the data acquired by the image processing unit 230 Image, and determine the quality of the crystallized substrate 20.

例如,中央處理單元240可由一鍵盤、一面板、及一控制器組成。該鍵盤用於控制影像取得單元210、照明單元220、及影像處理單元230,且輸入設定值。該面板用於顯示已取得到的影像及經處理過的影像數據。該控制器基於影像數據來判定結晶化基板20的品質,及用於控制所有組件。For example, the central processing unit 240 may be composed of a keyboard, a panel, and a controller. The keyboard is used to control the image acquisition unit 210, the lighting unit 220, and the image processing unit 230, and input setting values. This panel is used to display the acquired images and processed image data. The controller determines the quality of the crystallized substrate 20 based on the image data and is used to control all components.

中央處理單元240被設於雷射結晶裝置100外。該中央處理單元可控制不僅雲紋量化裝置200,且亦可控制包含有雷射結晶裝置100之整個雷射結晶設備10。又,中央處理單元240可控制雷射光束產生器120及雷射結晶裝置100之平台130的運動及位置,其中平台130之位置被輸入至影像取得單元210作為觸發訊號,以依固定間隔操作影像取得單元210。The central processing unit 240 is provided outside the laser crystallization device 100. The central processing unit can control not only the moiré quantization device 200, but also the entire laser crystallization equipment 10 including the laser crystallization device 100. In addition, the central processing unit 240 can control the movement and position of the laser beam generator 120 and the platform 130 of the laser crystal device 100. The position of the platform 130 is input to the image acquisition unit 210 as a trigger signal to operate images at fixed intervals Obtaining unit 210.

中央處理單元240可使用已取得到的影像來判定結晶化基板20的品質。可當問題產生時,改變被輻射至基板20之雷射光束的能量密度,其中該ED可藉由使用者當必要時基於判定品質之結果作預先或直接設定的一程式而自動地改變。The central processing unit 240 can use the acquired images to determine the quality of the crystallized substrate 20. When a problem occurs, the energy density of the laser beam irradiated to the substrate 20 can be changed. The ED can be automatically changed by a program that the user sets in advance or directly based on the result of determining the quality when necessary.

此後將說明依據本發明之透過雷射結晶設備10的雲紋量化方法。Hereinafter, the moiré quantification method through the laser crystallization device 10 according to the present invention will be explained.

第2圖係顯示依據本發明之雲紋量化方法示圖。如第2圖所示,透過雷射結晶設備10之雲紋量化方法包含裝載基板20之第一步驟、使用雷射對已裝載基板20實施結晶化之第二步驟、在移動結晶化基板20的同時即時量化雲紋之第三步驟、及將已歷經結晶化與雲紋量化的基板20卸載之第四步驟。Figure 2 is a diagram showing the moiré quantification method according to the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, the moiré quantification method through the laser crystallization device 10 includes the first step of loading the substrate 20, the second step of using the laser to crystallize the mounted substrate 20, and the moving of the crystallized substrate 20 At the same time, the third step of instant quantification of moiré and the fourth step of unloading the substrate 20 that has undergone crystallization and moiré quantification.

基板20被安裝於雷射結晶裝置100之平台130上,且被裝載至一雷射結晶化位置。藉由來自該雷射光束產生器之雷射光束將已裝載基板20結晶化。藉由在移動結晶化基板20的同時透過影像取得單元210從結晶化基板20取得雲紋影像、及藉由處理此等影像,將即時量化雲紋。接著,將已歷經結晶化及雲紋量化的基板20卸載,從而完成處理。The substrate 20 is mounted on the platform 130 of the laser crystallization apparatus 100 and loaded to a laser crystallization position. The mounted substrate 20 is crystallized by the laser beam from the laser beam generator. By moving the crystallized substrate 20 while obtaining a moiré image from the crystallized substrate 20 through the image obtaining unit 210, and by processing these images, the moiré will be quantified in real time. Next, the substrate 20 that has undergone crystallization and moiré quantization is unloaded to complete the processing.

第三步驟係從結晶化基板20取得雲紋影像、對已取得到的雲紋影像實施影像處理、藉分析經影像處理過的影像成數據來量化雲紋、及接著基於該已量化雲紋來判定基板20結晶化程度品質的程序。The third step is to obtain a moiré image from the crystallized substrate 20, perform image processing on the obtained moiré image, quantify the moiré by analyzing the image-processed image into data, and then quantify the moiré based on the quantized moiré A program for determining the quality of the degree of crystallization of the substrate 20.

在從結晶化基板20取得雲紋影像的步驟中,藉由調整同步化觸發而依固定間隔取得雲紋影像。In the step of obtaining the moiré image from the crystallized substrate 20, the moiré image is obtained at fixed intervals by adjusting the synchronization trigger.

可使用CCD攝影機作為影像取得單元210,以從結晶化基板20取得雲紋影像。當使用面型攝影機211取得影像時,將如第4圖所示者,調整一位置同步化觸發,以依固定間隔取得影像。A CCD camera can be used as the image obtaining unit 210 to obtain a moiré image from the crystallized substrate 20. When the area camera 211 is used to obtain images, as shown in FIG. 4, a position synchronization trigger is adjusted to obtain images at fixed intervals.

例如,可能反應關於平台130位置之編碼器訊號來調整面型攝影機211之觸發,以依固定間隔取得雲紋影像。緣是,可能尋得已在基板20上取得到的雲紋影像,而可能輕易地判定基板20上多個位置處之良好與不良結晶。For example, it is possible to adjust the triggering of the area camera 211 in response to the encoder signal about the position of the platform 130 to obtain the moiré image at a fixed interval. The reason is that it is possible to find the moiré image that has been obtained on the substrate 20, and it is possible to easily determine good and bad crystals at multiple locations on the substrate 20.

又,可能藉調整對每一OPED區域、即每一最佳化能量密度區域之觸發,以依固定間隔取得雲紋影像。亦即,可能藉由對每一基板20區域以不同OPED實施結晶化、及輸入OPED至影像取得單元210作為觸發,以判定何處已較佳建立結晶化。In addition, it is possible to adjust the trigger for each OPED area, that is, each optimized energy density area, to obtain a moiré image at a fixed interval. That is, it is possible to determine where crystallization is better established by performing crystallization with different OPEDs for each area of the substrate 20 and inputting OPEDs to the image acquisition unit 210 as a trigger.

又,用於已取得到的雲紋影像之影像處理係由影像處理單元230實施,其中用於取得反差影像之影像預處理及影像處理可對已取得到的雲紋影像實施,且可藉分析經處理過的影像成數據來量化雲紋。In addition, the image processing for the obtained moiré image is implemented by the image processing unit 230, wherein the image preprocessing and image processing for obtaining the contrast image can be performed on the obtained moire image, and can be analyzed The processed image becomes data to quantify the moiré.

例如,藉由平均已取得到的影像中之局部亮度值來建立平滑影像,以析取反差影像。亦即,藉由從最初取得到的影像扣除透過預處理所取得到的參考影像數據值,將取得反差影像。藉由輸入基於該反差影像之譬如反差比及線型等選擇性條件,可取得分析影像。緣是,將取得最終雲紋偵測之量化影像數據。For example, a smooth image is created by averaging the local brightness values in the acquired image to extract the contrast image. That is, by subtracting the reference image data value obtained through preprocessing from the initially obtained image, a contrast image will be obtained. By inputting selective conditions such as contrast ratio and line type based on the contrast image, an analysis image can be obtained. The reason is that the quantified image data of the final moiré detection will be obtained.

又,基於已量化之雲紋來判定基板20之結晶化程度品質,且當問題產生時,輻射至基板20之雷射光束的ED將改變,該改變係由中央處理單元240實施。In addition, the quality of the crystallization degree of the substrate 20 is determined based on the quantified moiré, and when a problem occurs, the ED of the laser beam radiated to the substrate 20 will be changed, and the change is implemented by the central processing unit 240.
