Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining a fracture in crystalline material.
  • micro-cracks Breaks in wafers are usually in the form of micro-cracks in a partially extremely fine form. In photovoltaics, microcracks influence the efficiency of the future solar cell. In addition, microcracks cause the problem that wafers break easily in places of microcracks and microcracks therefore interfere with production.
  • micro-cracks can be so small that they can be hidden in the wafer without protruding to the surface. Such micro-cracks often have no surface structure and are therefore not recognizable on the surfaces of the wafer. Another difficulty is that microcracks and grain boundaries of polycrystalline semiconductor materials, especially of polycrystalline silicon, look so similar that they are generally difficult to distinguish.
  • the invention utilizes anomaly of the optical transmission of semiconductors
  • Microcracks Within the wafer, reflections occur at the break. A transmitted light image of a crack therefore appears dull black. In this way, even microcracks not visible from the outside can be detected.
  • the invention is based on the further consideration that by recording frequency information from the transmitted light image, characteristics of local brightness fluctuations in the transmitted light image are recorded in great detail
  • f (x, y) is the brightness of the transmitted light image
  • f (k x / ky) of the brightness corresponding to the spatial function f (x, y) of the brightness thus has high frequencies in the presence of a microcrack.
  • the brightness transition of grain boundaries in the transmitted light image is less sharp, causing the grain boundaries in the frequency spectrum of the brightness distribution to lower frequencies. From the presence of high-frequency components in the frequency spectrum of the brightness distribution can therefore be concluded on the presence of microcracks. By evaluating the frequency information can thus be distinguished between microcracks and grain structures in crystalline semiconductor material.
  • the spatial function f (x, y) of the brightness may be discrete, e.g. as individual measurements of pixels of a camera, or continuously, e.g. in the form of an algebraic function. It can be present directly in two dimensions or as the sum of several one-dimensional functions f (x).
  • the frequency information is obtained from the location function of the brightness and therefore dependent on the location function. Through them, the brightness change in the location function is characterized.
  • the frequency information may be available explicitly, for example in the form of coefficients, or determined implicitly by an evaluation of the location function, e.g. through frequency-selective steps, and also be used directly without concrete formation of an explicitly present function as such. For example, an application of a frequency filter and the further use of the frequency-filtered data is an evaluation of frequency information.
  • the method is applicable to any transmittable crystalline material, in particular semiconductor material, for which there is a transmission window in an imaging method in transmitted light in an arbitrary wavelength range.
  • the semiconductor material is silicon, while For example, monocrystalline silicon, in particular polycrystalline silicon.
  • the closing is based on a break from an evaluation of high-frequency components with elimination of low-frequency components. This can be done by filters or mathematical steps. Particularly effectively, low frequency components can be eliminated by forming a differential image, in particular by subtracting an image without a e.g. filtered high frequency information from a picture with the high frequency information.
  • the frequency information is manipulated, from the manipulated frequency information, a spatial image is reconstructed and calculated from the difference between an otherwise or not manipulated image, e.g. the transmitted light image, and reconstructed spatial image is closed to the presence of a break, possibly using further evaluation steps.
  • an otherwise or not manipulated image e.g. the transmitted light image

  • the spatial image can be present as a data set which is evaluated. It is not necessary that the location space image is displayed as a visible image, for example on a screen.
  • the spatial image may, for example, be a data set of the brightness as a function of two spatial directions. It is also conceivable that the spatial image is present as a plurality of data sets, each of which reflect the brightness as a function of spatial direction.

  • the effects of manipulating the frequency information can be particularly sensitive in this way be reliably detected.
  • broadband interference signals in the difference image are suppressed on the basis of a morphological filter.
  • a morphological filter can be understood as a mathematical operation in which elements of a two-dimensional set of numbers are linked together by an operator. Depending on the filter, the choice of input elements may be different, for example, it may be the nearest neighbors of a point, and the operator may be different.
  • a well-known example is an erosion filter in which the minimum is determined from each immediate neighborhood, and then the corresponding neighborhood-defining point can be minimized.
  • a H-maxima filter is used as the morphological filter.
  • An H maxima filter filters local maxima by filtering out isolated extrema. This is particularly effective in fractures, as fractions are characterized by a connected sequence of local maxima.
  • H-maxima filters are described, for example, in P. Soille, Morphological Image Analysis, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1999.
  • the manipulation takes place by suppressing a frequency range characteristic of the fracture.
  • uncharacteristic frequencies in particular all other frequencies, can be made to disappear during the subtraction, so that the frequency information of the fraction or a position information resulting therefrom can be recognized particularly well, especially in a difference image.
  • the suppression can be done by reducing or eliminating the frequency range characteristic of the rupture. Both technical and mathematical particularly simple suppression can be done by a low-pass filtering.
  • the low-pass filtering can be performed by systematically eliminating frequency information, for example, by systematically reducing a resolution of the frequency information.
  • the suppression is carried out by a targeted elimination of individual frequency coefficients from a discrete location-frequency transformation.
  • the suppression can be very targeted to one or more specific frequency ranges.
