Description
本申請案係有關於半導體雷射檢查裝置、及半導體雷射檢查方法。 This application is related to semiconductor laser inspection devices and semiconductor laser inspection methods.
半導體雷射的檢查中,會使用一種手法,根據顯示了驅動電流-光輸出特性的I-L波形中有無急遽的彎曲(也稱為曲折(kink)),來判定有無不良(例如,參照專利文獻1)。此時,有一種曲折檢測裝置被提出,將I-L波形以驅動電流分割為複數個區間,使用每個分割區間求出的近似曲線來檢測出曲折位置,使得即使是小的曲折也能夠更正確地檢測出曲折位置(例如,參照專利文獻2)。 In the inspection of semiconductor lasers, a method is used to determine whether there is a defect (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) based on whether there is a sharp bend (also called a kink) in the IL waveform showing the drive current-light output characteristics. ). At this time, a zigzag detection device has been proposed, which divides the IL waveform into a plurality of sections by the drive current, and uses the approximate curve obtained from each divided section to detect the zigzag position, so that even small zigzags can be more accurately The zigzag position is detected (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).

然而,當分割I-L波形時,分割的範圍間的邊界部產生曲折的情況下,有可能會無法檢測出產生的曲折。當然,縮小驅動電流的變化幅度來取得細小的資料的話就能夠加以抑制,但在量產線上,花在每個元件的檢查上的時間有限。因此,實際應用上要沒有遺漏地高精度地檢測出曲折是很困難的。 However, when the I-L waveform is divided, if a zigzag occurs in the boundary between the divided ranges, the resulting zigzag may not be detected. Of course, it can be suppressed by reducing the variation range of the drive current to obtain small data, but in the mass production line, the time spent on inspection of each component is limited. Therefore, in practical applications, it is very difficult to detect the tortuosity with high accuracy without omission.

以下,參照圖式說明本申請案實施型態1的半導體雷射裝置及半導體雷射檢查方法。半導體雷射檢查裝置1如第1圖所示,具有驅動檢查對象的半導體雷射90並測量光輸出的測量部50,並根據顯示出驅動電流—光輸出特性的的I—L波形的資料(波形資料F1
)來檢查是良品或不良品。另外,有關於半導體雷射90的更換以及設置等的構造之記載省略,以下說明對被設置之半導體雷射90進行測量、評價的構造,也就是執行半導體雷射檢查方法的構造。Hereinafter, the semiconductor laser device and the semiconductor laser inspection method of
半導體雷射檢查裝置1中,為了因應於檢查對象的半導體雷射90的規格來設定測量條件及評價條件,具備判別被設置的半導體雷射90的機種之機種判別部10。然後,具備波形資料產生部30,根據從測量部50輸出的測量值來產生上述波形資料F1
。又,具備評價條件設定部20,設定出因應機種判定部10所判別的機種之評價條件。也具備特性評價部40,根據設定的評價條件加工波形資料F1
,評價半導體雷射90。機種判別部10根據來自未圖示的輸入I/F的資訊、或者是設定的半導體雷射90的形狀、ID編號等,判別測量對象的半導體雷射的機種,然後將顯示出判別機種的資訊輸出到評價條件設定部20。In the semiconductor
評價條件設定部20具有設定半導體雷射90的驅動電流範圍等的測量條件之測量條件設定部21、規範出以驅動電流範圍來區分波形資料F1
的評價領域R之評價領域規範部22、設定每個評價領域R的評價基準之評價基準設定部23。測量條件設定部21會因應於從機種判別部10取得的機種的資訊,設定驅動電流範圍、電流變化圖樣、測量間隔等的測量條件,輸出至評價領域規範部22及雷射驅動部51。Evaluation condition setting unit 20 has a measurement condition setting unit sets the driving current of the
評價領域規範部22會規範出複數個以驅動電流I範圍來區分I—L波形的評價領域R,並視為用來算出曲折率K的領域。此時,藉由重複範圍產生部22a,為了使分隔部分不中斷,產生出重複範圍,使得在評價領域R間存在著重複的範圍。評價基準設定部23針對評價領域規範部22所規範的每個評價領域R設定評價方法、閾值等的評價基準,將設定的評價基準的資訊輸出到特性評價部40(波形資料加公佈41、曲折檢測部42)。The evaluation
測量部50具有雷射驅動部51,將電流注入檢查對象的半導體雷射90來進行驅動。測量部50也具有光輸出測量部52,測量來自驅動的半導體雷射90的光輸出。雷射驅動部51根據測量條件設定部21所輸出的測量條件,驅動被設置的半導體雷射90。光輸出測量部52測量被驅動的半導體雷射90所產生的光。雷射驅動部51所輸出的驅動電流I的值、光輸出測量部52所輸出的光輸出P的測量值,會被輸出到特性評價部40(波形資料產生部30),用以產生構成該半導體雷射90的I—L波形之波形資料F1

。The waveform
特性評價部40具備波形資料加工部41,對波形資料產生部30產生的波形資料F1
進行計算處理並加工。特性評價部40具備曲折檢測部42,根據加工資料算出曲折率K並檢測出曲折。波形資料加工部41對波形資料產生部30產生的波形資料F1
,按照評價條件設定部20設定的評價條件,依每個評價領域R,來區分並計算處理波形資料F1
,執行對評價有必要的資料加工。曲折檢測部42對於波形資料加工部41所加工的每個評價領域R的資料,根據評價條件設定部20所設定的評價基準,算出曲折率K並且判定是否有曲折(曲折檢測)。The characteristic evaluation unit 40 includes a waveform
根據上述的構造,一邊參照第2圖的流程圖,一邊說明動作。將作為檢查對象的半導體雷射90設置於半導體雷射檢查裝置1的既定位置後,機動判別部10判別出被設置的半導體雷射90(步驟S100)。測量條件設定部21根據額定電流值、最大電流值、臨界值電流Ith等的機種的資訊,設定驅動電流範圍、測量間隔等的測量條件(步驟S110),將設定的測量條件的資訊輸出到雷射驅動部51及評價領域規範部22。根據測量的測量條件,雷射驅動部51驅動半導體雷射90,光輸出測量部52測量來自半導體雷射90的光輸出P(步驟S120)。According to the above-mentioned structure, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 2. After the
驅動電流I的值及光輸出P的測量值會被輸出到波形資料產生部30,產生波形資料F1
(步驟S130)。例如,對於額定電流150mA,假設以將驅動電流範圍設定在0~200mA、將測量間隔設定在0.5mA的測量條件來測量,會產生第3圖所示的波形資料F1
。圖的橫軸是半導體雷射90的驅動電流I(mA),左側的縱軸是光輸出P(mW)。另外,右側的縱軸是微分值D(W/A),框的上側表示規範的評價領域R的範圍,分別會在之後說明。The value of the driving current I and the measured value of the light output P are output to the waveform
另一方面,評價條件設定部20中,做測量條件的設定,也進行評價條件的測量。評價條件的第一階段,會藉由評價領域規範部22,規範出複數個在驅動電流I的範圍區分波形資料F1
的評價領域R。首先,設定特定評價的對象的上限U及下限L。下限L是會設定為稍微超過從半導體雷射90的機種資訊所獲得的臨界值電流Ith的值,上限U會設定為測量條件設定部21所設定的驅動電流範圍的最大值。On the other hand, in the evaluation condition setting unit 20, the measurement conditions are set and the evaluation conditions are also measured. In the first stage of the evaluation conditions, the evaluation
本例中,將臨界值電流Ith加上3mA的電流值設定為下限L,將比額定電流值(例如假設為150mA)更高50mA的200mA設定為上限U。將下限L設定成比臨界值電流Ith更高的值是因為在臨界值電流Ith附近的I—L波形有雜訊,而為此防止將這雜訊視為曲折不良檢測出來。In this example, the threshold current Ith plus the current value of 3 mA is set as the lower limit L, and 200 mA, which is 50 mA higher than the rated current value (for example, 150 mA), is set as the upper limit U. The lower limit L is set to a value higher than the critical value current Ith because there is noise in the I-L waveform near the critical value current Ith, and this prevents the noise from being detected as a tortuous defect.
接著,設定出區分點S,用來規範出複數的評價領域R。本實施型態中,作為定出評價領域R的區分點S,會設定在相當於額定電流值的73%之110mA。只有設定區分點S的話,評價領域R如專利文獻2所揭露,只會分割成下限L至區分點S為止的領域、以及區分點S至上限U為止的領域。然而,本實施型態中,以區分點S分割領域後,藉由重複範圍產生部22a產生重複範圍,使得分割後的領域彼此重疊。Next, set the distinguishing point S, which is used to standardize the plural evaluation areas R. In this embodiment, as the distinguishing point S for determining the evaluation area R, it is set at 110 mA which is equivalent to 73% of the rated current value. If only the division point S is set, the evaluation area R is divided into only the area from the lower limit L to the division point S and the area from the division point S to the upper limit U, as disclosed in
具體來說,如第3圖的框的上側部分所示,下限L至區分點S為止的領域就直接規範為評價領域RN 。另一方面,關於區分點S至上限U為止的領域,會產生與評價領域RN 的全範圍重疊的重複領域,而規範為擴張到下限L為止的評價領域RW 。也就是說,Ith+3mA的下限L至110mA的區分點S為止規範為評價領域RN ,Ith+3mA的下限L至200mA的上限U為止規範為評價領域RW (步驟S200)。Specifically, as shown in the upper part of the frame in FIG. 3, the area from the lower limit L to the division point S is directly standardized as the evaluation area R N. On the other hand, the field for distinguishing between a point S up to the upper limit U, and the overlapping areas will produce duplicate the full range of evaluation R N art, and standardized as to limit the expansion of the field until the evaluation L R W. That is, the lower limit L of Ith+3mA to the distinguishing point S of 110 mA is standardized as the evaluation area R N , and the lower limit L of Ith+3 mA to the upper limit U of 200 mA is standardized as the evaluation area R W (step S200 ).
接著,評價基準設定部23會對各個評價領域R分別設定用以檢測曲折的評價手法及評價基準。本實施型態中,與兩評價領域R一起,算出波形資料F1
的微分曲線F2
、微分曲線F2
的最小平方法的近似曲線F3
,根據微分曲線F2
上的值以及近似曲線F3
上的值,算出曲折率K(表示波形資料F1
上的急遽彎曲的指標)。然後,作為判定是否為曲折的臨界值(基準值Ks),設定評價條件,評價條件採用了會依據評價領域R而有不同的值(步驟S210)。Next, the evaluation
按照評價條件設定部20所設定的評價條件,波形資料加工部41會對波形資料產生部30所產生的波形資料,每個評價領域R都去進行計算,並加工資料。對於評價領域RW
,將波形資料F1
當中第3圖所示的下限L~上限U的部分作為計算對象,計算出波形資料F1
的微分曲線F2
、及描繪出以微分曲線F2
的最小平方法產生的近似值Va之近似曲線F3
。對於評價領域RN
,將波形資料F1
當中下限L~區分點S的部分作為計算對象,計算出波形資料F1
的微分曲線F2
、及以微分曲線F2
的最小平方法產生的近似曲線F3
。另外,微分曲線F2
以及近似曲線F3
,特別是近似曲線F3
顯示出因為評價領域R的電流範圍而不同的波形,但第3圖中為了避免複雜化,省略了對於評價領域RN
的微分曲線F2
以及近似曲線F3
的記載。According to the evaluation conditions set by the evaluation condition setting section 20, the waveform
將微分曲線F2
的算出方法,使用顯示出半導體雷射90的典型的I—L特性的波形資料F1
之第4圖來說明。在此,假設從驅動電流I1
增加ΔI1
的電流時的光輸出變化量為ΔP1
,從驅動電流I2
增加ΔI2
的電流時的光輸出變化量為ΔP2
,從驅動電流I3
增加ΔI3
的電流時的光輸出變化量為ΔP3
。也就是,從驅動電流Ii
至驅動電流Ii+1
為止,將驅動電流I變化ΔIi
時的光輸出的變化量假設為ΔPi
的話,相對於驅動電流Ii
的微分值Di
如式(1)所示,能夠以差值計算算出。
Di
=ΔPi
/ΔIi
…(1)The calculation method of the differential curve F 2 is explained using Figure 4 of the waveform data F 1 showing the typical I-L characteristic of the
將此對於波形資料F1 的評價領域R的計算對象內的各驅動電流Ii 進行,能夠算出微分曲線F2 。像這樣,算出每個評價領域R的微分曲線F2 ,算出每個評價領域R的微分曲線F2 的近似曲線F3 ,執行要算出曲折率所必要的各個領域的波形資料的加工(步驟S220)。This is performed for each drive current I i in the calculation target of the evaluation area R of the waveform data F 1 , and the differential curve F 2 can be calculated. In this way, the differential curve F 2 of each evaluation area R is calculated, the approximate curve F 3 of the differential curve F 2 of each evaluation area R is calculated, and the waveform data of each area necessary to calculate the tortuosity is processed (step S220 ).
另外,假設從驅動電流Ii 增加ΔIi 時的光輸出變化量是ΔPi 的,作為式(1)的前提,微分值Di 記載了針對驅動電流(Ii )的值,但並不限定於此。例如,微分值Di 也可以是針對驅動電流(Ii +ΔIi ),或者是針對位於電流變化的中間位置的驅動電流(Ii +ΔIi /2)的值。It is assumed that the light output is increased when the amount of change from the driving current ΔI i I i is the premise of formula (1), ΔP i, the differential value D i according to the value of the drive current for (I i), but is not limited Here. For example, the differential value D i may be a value for the drive current (I i + ΔI i), or the driving current for an intermediate position located at varying current (I i + ΔI i / 2 ) a.
當針對每個評價領域R獲得了要算出曲折率所必要的資料,在曲折檢測部42中,會對每個評價領域R,算出計算對象內的每個驅動電流Ii 的值之曲折率Ki,與設定的基準做比較,判定I—L波形上是否有急遽彎曲,也就是有無曲折。When the data necessary for calculating the tortuosity rate is obtained for each evaluation area R, the tortuosity rate Ki for each value of the driving current I i in the calculation target is calculated for each evaluation area R in the tortuosity detection unit 42 , Compare with the set benchmark to determine whether there are sharp bends on the I-L waveform, that is, whether there are twists or not.
接著說明根據算出的資料來計算出曲折率K的算出方法。將上述微分曲線F2 及近似曲線F3 上的某個驅動電流Ii 的值,分別作為微分值Di 、近似值Vai ,藉由式(2),算出表示出微分曲線F2 相對於近似曲線F3 的偏離程度之曲折率Ki ,作為急遽彎曲的指標。 Ki =|((Di -Vai )/Vai )|×100(%) …(2) 將此對於評價領域R的電流範圍內的每個測量點進行計算。Next, a calculation method for calculating the tortuosity K based on the calculated data will be described. Taking the value of a certain drive current I i on the differential curve F 2 and the approximate curve F 3 as the differential value D i and the approximate value Va i , respectively, by formula (2), the differential curve F 2 is calculated relative to the approximate The tortuosity K i , which is the degree of deviation of the curve F 3 , is used as an indicator of abrupt bending. K i =|((D i -Va i )/Va i )|×100(%)...(2) This is calculated for each measurement point in the current range of the evaluation area R.
接著,以每個算出驅動電流Ii
的曲折率Ki
為基礎,進行對每個評價領域R的曲折檢測。對於評價領域RW
,將針對評價領域RW
所算出的每個測量點(驅動電流Ii
)的曲折率Ki
,與針對評價領域RW
所設定的基準值Ks比較。對於評價領域RW
,將曲折率K的基準值Ks設定為20%,領域內的每個測量點的曲折率K當中,最大值比20%大的情況下,檢查對象的半導體雷射90會被判定為具有曲折,也就是說曲折不良。Next, on the basis of the tortuosity K i of each calculated drive current I i , the tortuosity detection for each evaluation area R is performed. For the evaluation of the field of R W, the winding ratio for each measuring point (driving current I i) Field Evaluation of the calculated R W K i, Ks value for the comparison with the reference field R W evaluation set. For the evaluation area R W , the reference value Ks of the tortuosity K is set to 20%. If the maximum value of the tortuosity K of each measurement point in the area is greater than 20%, the
接著,使用相同的方法算出評價領域RN
中的曲折率K。對於評價領域RN
,將曲折率K的基準值Ks設定為12%,領域內的每個測量點的曲折率K當中,最大值比12%大的情況下,檢查對象的半導體雷射90會被判定為具有曲折,也就是說曲折不良(步驟S230)。Next, using the same method of calculating the evaluation field winding of R N K. For the evaluation area R N , the reference value Ks of the tortuosity K is set to 12%. If the maximum value of the tortuosity K of each measurement point in the area is greater than 12%, the
複數的評價領域R的任一者都沒有檢測出曲折的情況下,檢測對象的半導體雷射90被評價為沒有曲折不良的良品,任一個評價領域被檢測出曲折不良的情況下,則被評價為具有曲折不良的不良品(步驟S300)。將評價結果連結於檢查對象的半導體雷射90的ID,透過沒有圖示的I/F,顯示或者是記錄。然後一邊改變檢查對象,一邊將這種評價方式依序地反覆進行下去。If no tortuosity is detected in any of the plurality of evaluation areas R, the
如上述,因為將半導體雷射90的評價領域R規範成有重複範圍存在的複數個(評價領域RW
、評價領域RN
),所以評價領域R之間不存在邊界部。藉此,像對專利文獻2指出的問題那樣,邊界部的部分成為曲折判定的起點或者是終點的狀況不會發生,因此能夠防止對邊界部的曲折有無做錯誤判定。As described above, since the evaluation area R of the
又,為了以評價領域RW 將評價領域RN 的全範圍涵蓋進去,將評價領域RW 設定成比評價領域RN 廣,將使用於窄範圍的評價領域RN 的基準值Ks設定成比使用於寬範圍的評價領域RW 的基準值Ks低。因此,即使在評價領域RW 沒有檢測出曲折的情況下,也可以想像到在評價領域RN 會檢測出曲折。Further, in order to evaluate the evaluation FIELD R W R N-wide field covering into the area of evaluation than the evaluation set R W R N wide field, the field will be used to evaluate a narrow range R N is set to the reference value Ks ratio The reference value Ks of R W used in a wide range of evaluation areas is low. Therefore, even when no tortuosity is detected in the evaluation area R W , it is conceivable that a tortuosity will be detected in the evaluation area R N.
另一方面,在現實的檢查中,並不一定會獲得理想的波形。例如,半導體雷射90的I—L波形中,起因於不良的典型的曲折如第3圖的波形資料F1
一樣,包含了大的部連續點Pk
,將其檢測出即可。考量到與第5圖所示的理想的I—L波形F1I
相比較的話,能夠很容易理解。On the other hand, in actual inspections, ideal waveforms are not necessarily obtained. For example, the
然而,半導體雷射90中,有時會出現具有非典型波形的曲折、或者是出現具有像曲折的波形之疑似曲折。本實施型態中,事先假想具有非典型波形的曲折、疑似曲折的產生,而設定上述的評價條件。However, in the
非典型的曲折稱為「初期微小曲折KM 」,第5圖的現實的I—L波形F1R 中所展現的,靠近臨界值電流Ith,在驅動電流I在40mA程度的範圍產生的小的I—L波形的區段偏移。疑似曲折稱為「起伏領域KP 」,是因為溫度上升使得電子從活性層溢出而不貢獻於發光,反而更加促使發熱的載子溢流現象所引起。在額定輸出(150mA)附近的範圍內產生緩和波形的起伏。The atypical zigzag is called the "initial slight zigzag K M ", shown in the realistic I-L waveform F 1R in Fig. 5, which is close to the critical value current Ith, and the driving current I is in the range of about 40 mA. The segment offset of the I-L waveform. The suspected twists and turns are called "fluctuation zone K P ", because the temperature rise causes electrons to overflow from the active layer and do not contribute to the light emission, but it is caused by the carrier overflow phenomenon that promotes heat generation. Gentle wave fluctuations are generated in the range near the rated output (150mA).
這個起伏領域KP
在微分曲線F2
中顯著呈現,在設置了嚴格的基準值Ks的情況下,會有良品元件被判定為不良元件的情形。因此,會像專利文獻2一樣,以曲折率算出法、或者是基準值維持原樣,利用分割的領域,僅改變二次近似曲線的精度的話,會很難區別初期微小曲折KM
與起伏領域KP
。如果套到本實施型態的話,對於初期微小曲折KM
、起伏領域KP
,例如以上述式(2)算出曲折率Ki
的話,有時會有產生與本來的曲折相同程度的值的狀況。然而,對於起伏領域KP
,在特性上沒有問題的情況較多,因此會想避開曲折判定。This fluctuation area K P is prominently displayed in the differential curve F 2 , and if a strict reference value Ks is set, there may be cases where a good part is judged as a bad part. Therefore, as in
因此,實施型態1中,對於涵蓋產生起伏領域KP
的可能性高的額定電流附近之評價領域RW
,使用比不包含額定電流附近的評價領域RN
更高基準值Ks。換言之,不包含額定電流附近、預期會產生初期微小曲折KM
、僅涵蓋了不包含額定的70%以上的高電流域的低電流域,對於這樣的評價領域RN
,會使用比包含額定電流附近之評價領域RW
更低的基準值Ks。Thus, patterns in
藉此,即使初期微小曲折KM 與以起伏領域KP 所算出曲折率K的值相同程度,起伏領域KP 不會錯誤地檢測出曲折,能夠無遺漏地檢測出初期微小曲折KM 。也就是說,能夠無遺漏地高精度檢測出曲折。Accordingly, even if the start winding micro M K P and K to the same degree of fluctuation calculated field value of the winding ratio K, K P field fluctuation error is not detected and turns, can be detected without omission initial slight meandering K M. In other words, it is possible to detect the zigzag with high accuracy without omission.
另外,本實施型態1中,顯示出產生出一個評價領域(評價領域RW )完全包含另一評價領域(評價領域RN )的重複範圍的例子,但並不限定於此。例如,以區分點S為基準分割為2個領域(未圖示,但記載成R1 、R2 )時,比區分點S更高電流側的領域R2 也可以擴張到在不包含領域R1 的一部分的範圍內比區分點S更低的領域。或者是將R1 、R2 分別擴張到完全不包含另一個領域的範圍。又,也可以是一者完全包括另一者,且另一者也擴張到超過區分點的情況。In addition, in the first embodiment, an example in which one evaluation area (evaluation area R W ) completely includes another evaluation area (evaluation area R N ) is generated, but it is not limited to this. For example, when the division point S is used as a reference to divide into two areas (not shown, but described as R 1 and R 2 ), the area R 2 on the higher current side than the division point S can also be expanded to not include the area R A part of 1 is a region lower than the discrimination point S. Or expand R 1 and R 2 to a range that does not include another area at all. In addition, one may completely include the other, and the other may also expand beyond the point of distinction.
又,本實施型態1中,並沒有談到在各個複數的評價領域R中的電流資料的處理間隔、或者是計算精度。然而,除了上述的基準值Ks的差外,還可以適當地變更波形資料加工時的驅動電流I的間隔、曲線近似的次數等。又,使用了第2圖的流程圖的說明中,為了說明方便,記載了在執行了測量條件的設定步驟及波形資料F1
的產生步驟之後,執行評價條件的設定步驟,但並不限定於此,也可以同時地執行。
實施型態2In addition, in the first embodiment, there is no mention of the processing interval or calculation accuracy of the current data in each of the plural evaluation areas R. However, in addition to the above-mentioned difference in the reference value Ks, the interval of the drive current I at the time of waveform data processing, the number of times of curve approximation, etc. can also be appropriately changed. Further, using a description of the flowchart in FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, after performing the described measurement condition setting step and the step of generating the waveform data F 1 performs the evaluation condition setting step, but not limited to This can also be executed simultaneously.
上述實施型態1中,顯示出使用I—L波形的微分曲線、以及作為其加工曲線的近似曲線來算出曲折率的例子。本實施型態2中,說明將微分曲線做移動平均處理的移動平均線作為加工曲線來使用,算出曲折率的例子。另外,本實施型態2的半導體雷射檢查裝置、半導體雷射檢查裝置的動作之半導體雷射檢查方法中,關於曲折率的計算以外的部分,與實施型態1相同,而省略同樣部分的說明。In the first embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the differential curve of the I-L waveform and the approximate curve of the processing curve are used to calculate the tortuosity. In the second embodiment, an example of calculating the tortuosity rate by using the moving average line obtained by performing the moving average processing of the differential curve as the processing curve will be described. In addition, in the semiconductor laser inspection method of the semiconductor laser inspection device and the operation of the semiconductor laser inspection device in the second embodiment, the parts other than the calculation of the tortuosity are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the same parts are omitted. Description.
關於本實施型態2的半導體雷射檢查裝置1的動作及半導體雷射檢查方法,實施型態1的第2圖所說明的評價領域規範(步驟S200)為止與實施型態1相同,從步驟S210開始說明。Regarding the operation of the semiconductor
評價基準設定部23會針對每個評價領域R設定用以檢測出曲折的評價手法及評價基準。本實施型態2中,設定成對兩評價領域R,一起算出波形資料F1
的微分曲線F2
、將每個微分曲線F2
的微小區間的平均值(移動平均值DMA
)描點而成之移動平均線,然後從微分曲線F2
上的值以及移動平均線上的值,以相同的計算式算出曲折率K。然後,作為判定是否為曲折的基準值Ks,會設定評價條件,其採用了因評價領域R而異的值(步驟S210)。The evaluation
依照包含了評價基準設定部23的評價條件設定部20所設定的評價條件,波形資料加工部41會對波形資料產生部30所產生的波形資料,每個評價領域R進行計算,加工資料。對於評價領域RW
,將波形資料F1
當中,第3圖中說明的下限L至上限U之間的部分作為計算對象,算出波形資料F1
的微分曲線F2
及微分曲線F2
的移動平均線。對於評價領域RN
,將波形資料F1
當中,下限L至區分點S之間的部分作為計算對象,算出波形資料F1
的微分曲線F2
及微分曲線F2
的移動平均線。In accordance with the evaluation conditions set by the evaluation condition setting section 20 including the evaluation
在微分曲線F2
的算出當中,使用實施型態1中說明的式(1)。另一方面,本實施型態2採用的移動平均線如以下方式算出。例如,將連續的5個驅動電流Ii
~Ii+4
的測量點(或者是計算對象點)做移動平均,將在驅動電流Ii
的微分值Di
平滑化的情況下,構成移動平均線的移動平均值DMAi
能夠如式(3)所示地算出。
DMAi
=(Di
+Di+1
+Di+2
+Di+3
+Di+4
)/5 …(3)
另外,關於式(3)右邊的分子,只要是相對於驅動電流Ii
,與Ii
連續的資料的話,也可以是在Ii
之前的4個資料、挾著Ii
的前後兩個資料等,可以採取任何一種形式。又,式(3)舉出單純移動平均的例子,但也可以適用加重移動平均、或者是其他的移動平均。In the calculation of the differential curve F 2 , the formula (1) explained in the first embodiment is used. On the other hand, the moving average used in this
藉由對於微分曲線F2 的評價領域R的計算對象內的資料執行上式,能夠算出移動平均線。這樣一來,算出每個評價領域R的微分曲線F2 、及其移動平均線,實行算出曲折率所必要的各個領域的波形資料加工(步驟S220)。For calculation of differential data by the field R of the curve F 2 Evaluation is performed on the object type, the moving average can be calculated. In this way, the differential curve F 2 for each evaluation area R and its moving average are calculated, and the waveform data processing of each area necessary for calculating the tortuosity is performed (step S220).
算出曲折率所必要的資料依每個評價領域R而獲得的話,在曲折檢測部42中,對每個評價領域R算出計算對象內的每個驅動電流Ii
的值之曲折率Ki
,與設定的基準值Ks相比較來進行曲折檢測。If the data necessary for calculating the tortuosity rate is obtained for each evaluation area R, the tortuosity rate K i for each value of the driving current I i in the calculation target is calculated for each evaluation area R in the
具體來說,將微分曲線F2 及移動平均線的在某個驅動電流Ii的值,分別作為微分值Di 、移動平均值DMAi ,藉由式(4)來算出曲折率Ki 。 Ki =|((Di -DMAi )/DMAi )|×100(%) …(4) 將此,對於評價領域R中的電流範圍內的每個測量點實行。Specifically, in a driving current value Ii differential curve F 2 and the moving average, as each differential value D i, the moving average D MAi, by the formula (4) is calculated tortuosity K i. K i =|((D i -D MAi )/D MAi )|×100 (%)… (4) This is carried out for each measurement point within the current range in the evaluation area R.
關於之後的各領域的曲折檢測步驟(步驟S230)的後續,與實施型態1所說明的相同。然而,關於基準值Ks,並不限於與實施型態1相同。本實施型態2中,將1個半導體雷射90的評價領域R設定成複數個(評價領域RW
、評價領域RN
)使重複範圍存在,因此在評價領域R之間不存在邊界部。藉此,成為邊界部的部分不會成為曲折判定的起點或者是終點,能夠防止在邊界部的曲折的錯誤判定。The subsequent tortuosity detection step (step S230) in each field is the same as that described in the first embodiment. However, the reference value Ks is not limited to the same as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the evaluation area R of one
又,對於涵蓋產生起伏領域KP 的可能性高的額定電流附近之評價領域RW ,使用比不包含額定電流附近的評價領域RN 更高基準值Ks。藉此,即使初期微小曲折KM 與在起伏領域KP 算出的曲折率K的值是相同程度,起伏領域KP 不會錯誤地檢測出曲折,能夠無遺漏地檢測出初期微小曲折KM 。也就是,能夠無遺漏地高精度檢測出曲折。Further, for the evaluation of the possibility of high field K P waviness covers the vicinity of the rated current of the field R W, the evaluation does not include the use of more than the rated current of the field near the higher reference value R N Ks. Thereby, even if the initial minute twists K M and the value of the tortuosity K calculated in the undulating area K P are the same degree, the undulating area K P does not erroneously detect the twists, and the initial minute twists K M can be detected without omission. That is, tortuosity can be detected with high accuracy without omission.
另一方面,本實施型態2中採用的曲折率K的計算中,使用了微分值D的移動平均值DMA ,因為在I—L波形的傾斜緩和的範圍內,曲折率會算出較低的值。在此,有關於前述的載子溢流現象造成的起伏領域KP ,因為傾斜緩和,與式(2)的曲折率不同,式(4)中會算出偏低的值。On the other hand, in the calculation of the tortuosity K used in the second embodiment, the moving average D MA of the differential value D is used, because the tortuosity will be calculated to be lower in the range where the inclination of the I-L waveform is gentle. Value. Here, regarding the undulation area K P caused by the aforementioned carrier overflow phenomenon, because the tilt is gentle, and the tortuosity of the equation (2) is different, a lower value is calculated in the equation (4).
現在,在低電流範圍中產生的初期微小曲折KM ,在今後開發的半導體雷射元件中,也可能會在高電流範圍中產生。此時,就會需要以曲折率K來判定存在於相同或者是接近的電流範圍之初期微小曲折KM 及起伏領域KP 。此時,使用移動平均線來算出曲折率K的話,藉由使評價領域RW 中的基準值Ks接近評價領域RN 的基準值Ks,能夠避開起伏領域KP 的誤認,檢測出高電流域中的初期微小曲折KM 。At present, the initial minute twists K M generated in the low current range may also be generated in the high current range in semiconductor laser components developed in the future. At this time, it is necessary to use the tortuosity K to determine the initial minute twists K M and the undulating area K P that exist in the same or close current range. At this time, a moving average is calculated tortuosity K words, by R W in the art that the evaluation reference value Ks R N field close evaluation reference value Ks, the art is possible to avoid the fluctuation of misidentification K P, detected high electric The initial small twists and turns in the watershed K M.
因此,使用本實施型態2中採用的曲折率K的計算方法的話,不用多說,即使不規範複數的評價領域R,也能夠不遺漏地高精度地檢測出曲折。然而,為了不檢測出起伏而平滑化,必須將移動平均的對象數增加到例如比例示的5個更多的數量,當適用於全範圍的話,計算數會增加。對此,將評價領域分成具有重複範圍,藉此將產生起伏的部分重點地平滑化,將除此之外的領域降低平滑化的程度,這樣能夠減低計算負擔。特別是,在量產步驟的檢查中,計算負擔的減輕也是重要的效果。
實施型態3Therefore, if the calculation method of the tortuosity K used in the second embodiment is used, it goes without saying that even if the plural evaluation area R is not standardized, the tortuosity can be detected with high accuracy without omission. However, in order to smooth without detecting fluctuations, it is necessary to increase the number of moving average objects to, for example, a number greater than 5 as shown on the scale. When applied to the entire range, the number of calculations will increase. In this regard, by dividing the evaluation area into overlapping ranges, the parts that produce fluctuations are smoothed with emphasis, and the degree of smoothing is reduced in other areas, which can reduce the computational burden. In particular, in the inspection of mass production steps, the reduction of the calculation burden is also an important effect.
上述實施型態1、2中,說明了設置2個評價領域的例子,但並不限定於此。本實施型態3中,說明設置3個評價領域的例子。第6圖係用來說明實施型態3的半導體雷射裝置及以其實行的半導體雷射檢查方法,是用來說明檢查半導體雷射時的評價領域的規範、包含非典型的曲折及疑似曲折的I—L波形的波形資料、微分曲線的圖表形式的圖。另外,本實施型態3的半導體雷射裝置、以及半導體雷射檢查裝置的動作之半導體雷射檢查方法中,除了有關於評價領域的規範以外的部分,都能夠適用與上述實施型態1、2相同的內容,相同的部分的說明省略。In the above-mentioned
本實施型態3的半導體雷射檢查裝置1的動作、以及半導體雷射檢查方法中,如第6圖所示,以2個區分點S1
、S2
,規範出3個評價領域R(第2圖的步驟S200)。關於下限L及上限U,與實施型態1的第3圖所說明的相同,分別設定為臨界值電流Ith+3mA的值及200mA的值。In the operation of the semiconductor
2個區分點S1
、S2
當中,關於區分點S1
,與實施型態1的區分點S同樣地設定成相當於額定的73%的110mA。另一方面,關於區分點S2
,設定成相當於額定的47%的70mA。然後,分割成2個區分點S1
、S2
的領域後,藉由重複範圍產生部22a,產生分割後的領域之間彼此會重複的重複範圍。Among the two division points S 1 and S 2 , the division point S 1 is set to be 110 mA corresponding to 73% of the rated value in the same manner as the division point S of the first embodiment. On the other hand, the division point S 2 is set to 70 mA corresponding to 47% of the rating. Then, after dividing into the areas of the two division points S 1 and S 2 , the overlapping
具體來說,如第6圖的框的上側部分所示,下限L至區分點S1 為止的領域會直接規範成評價領域RN1 。又,區分點S2 至上限U為止的領域會直接規範成評價領域RN2 。另一方面,關於兩區分點S1 、S2 之間的領域,會產生與兩評價領域RN1 、RN2 的全範圍重複的重複範圍,設定為從下限L至上限U為止的評價領域RW 。也就是說,從Ith+3mA的下限L至70mA的區分點S1 為止的範圍規範為RN1 ,從110mA的區分點S2 至200mA的上限U為止的範圍規範為RN2 ,從Ith+3mA的下限L至200mA的上限U為止的範圍規範為RW (對應第2圖的步驟S200)。Specifically, as the upper portion of the frame shown in FIG. 6, the lower limit of the field until the dividing point S 1 L to directly regulate the art to evaluate the R N1. In addition, the area from the division point S 2 to the upper limit U is directly standardized as the evaluation area R N2 . On the other hand, regarding the area between the two division points S 1 and S 2 , there will be a repetition range that overlaps the entire range of the two evaluation areas R N1 and R N2 , and it is set as the evaluation area R from the lower limit L to the upper limit U W. In other words, the range from the lower limit L of Ith+3mA to the discrimination point S 1 of 70 mA is standardized as R N1 , and the range from the discrimination point S 2 of 110 mA to the upper limit U of 200 mA is standardized as R N2 , and from Ith+3mA The range from the lower limit L of 200mA to the upper limit U of 200mA is standardized as R W (corresponding to step S200 in Fig. 2).
然後,例如關於評價領域RN1 ,為了不遺漏地檢測出初期微小曲折KM ,設定評價基準時,會降低基準值Ks使其比評價領域RW 低。然後,關於評價領域RN2 ,為了不錯誤檢測出起伏領域KP ,設定評價條件時,會使用實施型態2中說明的移動平均線來算出曲折率K。Then, for example, regarding the evaluation area R N1 , in order to detect the initial minute twists K M without omission, when the evaluation criterion is set, the criterion value Ks is lowered to be lower than the evaluation area R W. Then, regarding the evaluation area R N2 , in order not to detect the undulation area K P erroneously, when the evaluation conditions are set, the tortuosity rate K is calculated using the moving average described in the second embodiment.
如本實施型態3所示,使評價領域R的數目比實施型態1所說的例子多,能夠更確實地、不遺漏地、高精度檢測出曲折。特別是,只有涵蓋額定電流50%以下的領域之評價領域RN1 、只有涵蓋額定電流70%以上的領域之評價領域RN2 ,使其各自的評價條件最佳化,能夠進行確實區別出初期微小曲折KM 及起伏領域KP 的曲折判定。As shown in the third embodiment, the number of evaluation areas R is larger than that of the example described in the first embodiment, so that tortuosity can be detected more reliably, without omission, and with high accuracy. In particular, only the evaluation area R N1 that covers the area less than 50% of the rated current, and only the evaluation area R N2 that covers the area of 70% or more of the rated current, optimizes the respective evaluation conditions, and can reliably distinguish the initial micro Judgement of twists and turns K M and K P in the undulating area.
另外,評價領域R的數目可以對應於成為檢查對象之半導體雷射90的特性,適當地變更,也可以再增加數目。又,例如以2個區分點S1
、S2
規範3個評價領域R的情況下,也可以如實施型態1所說明,不必要設定成一個評價領域R完全包含其他的評價領域R,適當地設定重複的範圍即可。In addition, the number of evaluation areas R can be appropriately changed according to the characteristics of the
又,規範的每個評價領域R的評價條件並不限定於上述例子。例如,也可以對於評價領域RN1 、RN2 ,使用微分曲線F2 以及其近似曲線F3 ,對於評價領域RW ,使用微分曲線F2 以及移動平均線來設定。也就是,也可以因應於檢查對象(機種資訊)來適當地設定。In addition, the standard evaluation conditions for each evaluation area R are not limited to the above examples. For example, it is also possible to use the differential curve F 2 and its approximate curve F 3 for the evaluation areas R N1 and R N2 , and use the differential curve F 2 and the moving average for the evaluation area R W. That is, it can be set appropriately according to the inspection target (model information).
又,上述各實施型態中,例示了為了檢測出I—L曲線中急遽的彎曲之曲折而算出微分曲線F2 的例子,但並不限定於此。例如,對於在電流域上分隔的波形資料F1 ,可以算出移動平均線或者是近似曲線,也可以適用其他的計算方法。In addition, in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the differential curve F 2 is calculated in order to detect the sharp bend in the I-L curve, but it is not limited to this. For example, for the waveform data F 1 separated in the current domain, a moving average or approximate curve can be calculated, and other calculation methods can also be applied.
另外,上述的各實施型態的半導體雷射檢查裝置1中,關於擔當計算處理的部分(機種判別部10、評價條件設定部20、波形資料產生部30、特性評價部40),例如第7圖所示,能夠表記成具備處理器101及記憶裝置102的控制部100。記憶裝置102雖未圖示,但具備隨機存取記憶體等的揮發性記憶裝置及快閃記憶體等的非揮發性的補助記憶裝置。又,也可以具備硬碟這種補助記憶裝置來取代快閃記憶體。處理器101執行從記憶裝置102輸入的程式。這個情況下,程式從補助記憶裝置透過揮發性記憶裝置輸入到處理器101。又,處理器101也可以將計算結果等的資料輸出到記憶裝置102的揮發性記憶裝置,也可以透過揮發性記憶裝置將資料保存於補助記憶裝置。In addition, in the semiconductor
又,本申請案雖然記載了各式各樣例示的實施型態及實施例,但1個或複數的實施型態中記載的各種特徵、態樣及機能並不限定於只適用於特定的實施型態,能夠單獨或者是各種組合而適用於實施型態。因此,未例示的無數的變形例,也被設想在本申請案的說明書所揭露的技術範圍內。例如,本申請案包括變形、追加或者是省略至少1個構成要素的情況,甚至是抽出至少1個構成要素並與其他的實施型態的構成要素組合的情況。In addition, although this application describes various exemplified implementation types and examples, the various features, aspects, and functions described in one or plural implementation types are not limited to be applied to specific implementations. Types can be applied to implementation types individually or in various combinations. Therefore, countless modified examples that are not illustrated are also assumed to be within the technical scope disclosed in the specification of this application. For example, the present application includes cases where at least one component is modified, added, or omitted, and even when at least one component is extracted and combined with components of other implementation types.
如以上所述,根據各實施型態的半導體雷射檢查裝置1,具備:測量部50,將電流注入檢查對象之半導體雷射90並加以驅動,再測量來自驅動的半導體雷射90的光輸出;波形資料產生部30,使用測量部50輸出的測量值,產生出顯示半導體雷射90的驅動電流—光輸出特性的波形資料F1

,計算出顯示急遽彎曲程度的指標(曲折率K),與評價條件中設定的基準值Ks相比較,評價該半導體雷射90的特性。評價條件設定部20構成規範複數的評價領域R的範圍,複數的評價領域R各自(例如評價領域RW
)具有與其他的評價領域R的至少一者(例如評價領域RN
)重複的範圍。因此,電流範圍中形成邊界部的部分不會成為曲折判定的起點、或者是終點,能夠不發生錯誤判定在邊界部有無曲折的狀況,能夠沒有遺漏地高精度檢測出曲折。As described above, the semiconductor
又,指標(曲折率K)在彎曲越急遽時就會被算出越大的值,評價條件設定部20對於複數的評價領域R當中包含有該半導體雷射90的額定電流值之評價領域(例如評價領域RW 、評價領域RN2 ),設定比其他的評價領域(例如評價領域RN 、評價領域RN1 )更大的值來作為基準值Ks,如此一來的話,即使因為起伏領域KP 而算出與真正的曲折相同程度的曲折率K,也不會錯誤檢測,能夠高精度地檢測出曲折。In addition, the index (tortuosity K) is calculated as the sharper the bend is, the larger the value is calculated, and the evaluation condition setting unit 20 for the plural evaluation areas R includes the evaluation area of the rated current value of the semiconductor laser 90 (for example Evaluation area R W , evaluation area R N2 ), set a value larger than other evaluation areas (e.g. evaluation area R N , evaluation area R N1 ) as the reference value Ks. In this case, even because of the fluctuation area K P Also, if the tortuosity rate K is calculated to be the same as the true tortuosity, it is possible to detect the tortuosity with high accuracy without false detection.
又,評價條件設定部20將區分的波形資料F1 的微分曲線F2 相對於近似或平滑化微分曲線F2 後的加工曲線之偏差,設定成指標(曲折率K),因此能夠客觀的特性評價。And, 20 to distinguish the evaluation condition setting unit waveform data F differential curve 1 F 2 with respect to similar or after the second processing curve smoothing differential curve F of the deviation is set to index (tortuosity K), it is possible to objectively characteristics Evaluation.
此時,特性評價部40對於複數的評價領域R之中包含有該半導體雷射90的額定電流值之評價領域(例如評價領域RW
、評價領域RN2
),使用將微分曲線F2
做移動平均之移動平均線來作為加工曲線。如此一來的話,能夠藉由平滑化來抑制在起伏領域KP
算出的曲折率,不會錯誤檢測,能夠高精度地檢測出曲折。At this time, the characteristic evaluation unit 40 uses the differential curve F 2 to move the evaluation area (for example, evaluation area R W , evaluation area R N2 ) that includes the rated current value of the
又,根據各實施型態的半導體雷射檢查方法,包括:波形資料產生步驟(步驟S120~S130),將電流注入檢查對象之半導體雷射90並加以驅動,再使用來自驅動的半導體雷射90的光輸出之測量值,產生出顯示半導體雷射90的驅動電流—光輸出特性的波形資料F1
;評價條件設定步驟(步驟S200~S210),規範出將波形資料F1

,計算出顯示急遽彎曲程度的指標(曲折率K),與評價條件中設定的基準值Ks相比較,評價該半導體雷射90的特性。規範複數的評價領域R的範圍時,會使複數的評價領域R各自(例如評價領域RW
)具有與其他的評價領域R的至少一者(例如評價領域RN
)重複的範圍。因此,電流範圍中形成邊界部的部分不會成為曲折判定的起點、或者是終點,能夠不發生錯誤判定在邊界部有無曲折的狀況,能夠沒有遺漏地高精度檢測出曲折。In addition, the semiconductor laser inspection method according to each implementation type includes: waveform data generation steps (steps S120 to S130), injecting current into the
又,指標(曲折率K)在彎曲越急遽時就會被算出越大的值,評價條件設定步驟中,對於複數的評價領域R當中包含有該半導體雷射90的額定電流值之評價領域(例如評價領域RW
、評價領域RN2
),設定比其他的評價領域(例如評價領域RN
