(summary that way of contact pattern checks)
Next, illustrate that the way of contact pattern of circuit pattern inspection device 1 checks.Fig. 8 is the process flow diagram checked by the contact-type circuit pattern inspection device 1 of present embodiment.
First, in step sl, the printed circuit board (PCB) 101 comprising multiple monolithic 102 is positioned on platform 24.Further, hold printed circuit board (PCB) 101 by clamp device 23 in step s 2, in step s3 tension force applied to printed circuit board (PCB) 101 and strain.Now, as required, the origin position that can carry out the position of the printed circuit board (PCB) 101 as rough position alignment is aimed at.
Afterwards, in step s 4 which, while platform 24 starts to decline, operational part 20 make the shooting of the alignment mark 103 undertaken by camera unit 9 and undertaken by the inspection pin 32 of inspection portion 3 (probe unit 36) inspection time the mobile route of probe unit 36 be set to minimum, namely the minimum mobile route (computing method will be described hereinafter) carrying out the most efficiently taking and checking is calculated, to make it possible to after platform 24 has declined, carry out at once taking and checking.
Afterwards, in step s 5, according to the minimum mobile route traveling probe unit 36 calculated by step S4, camera unit 9 takes the alignment mark 103 on monolithic 102 simultaneously, the position skew that position skew judging part 17 carries out alignment mark 103 judges, and the inspection pin 32 of inspection portion 3 (probe unit 36) contacts with the contact pad 104 on monolithic 102 and provides inspection signal, thus check conductive pattern.
At the end of shooting and energising check, in step s 6, platform 24 is made to increase.Further, in the step s 7, the tension force that printed circuit board (PCB) 101 is applied is alleviated.Further, in step s 8, printed circuit board (PCB) 101 is discharged from clamp device 23.Further, terminate to check.
In addition, in step s 5, offset in place moves judging part 17 being judged as that captured alignment mark 103 offsets from desired locations, arranges the position skew of the monolithic 102 of this alignment mark 103.Due to when there is skew, all inspection pins 32 do not contact the contact pad 104 of monolithic 102, so can not carry out correct energising inspection.Therefore, when finding such skew, by driving motor 8X, 8Y, 8H, thus the X-direction of alignment jig 33 and the angle (the axle anglec of rotation of the axle vertical with the interarea direction of monolithic 102) on the position of Y direction and θ direction of principal axis, can contact with the alignment mark 103 on monolithic 102 to make all inspection pins 32.
In addition, in the flow process shown in Fig. 8, in step s 5, also can be that operational part 20 calculates the minimum mobile route of the probe unit 36 when taking and check by simulation, but, also can be following form: the data in advance of the minimum mobile route layout of the monolithic 102 based on printed circuit board (PCB) 101, the quantity of position alignment unique point and the information of position calculated by following method is stored in storer 19 or external memory storage, thus calls these data and carry out taking and checking.That is, operational part 20 also can be the personal computer etc. different from circuit pattern inspection device 1.
(computing method of the minimum mobile route of shooting and probe unit when checking)
Next, illustrate in contact-type circuit pattern inspection device 1, the computing method of the minimum mobile route of the probe unit 36 when the shooting of the alignment mark 103 undertaken by the camera unit 9 of probe unit 36 and the way of contact pattern undertaken by the inspection pin 32 of fixture unit 31 check.Below, as an example, the minimum mobile route of the shooting of the printed circuit board (PCB) 101 shown in key diagram 2 and the probe unit 36 when checking.
Fig. 9 is the vertical view of the position of the probe unit 36 (optical system 14 of fixture unit 31 and camera unit 9 is only roughly shown) illustrated when printed circuit board (PCB) 101 shown in figure 2 checking monolithic 102a.Central point A1 during using the central point in the XY plane of fixture unit 31 now as inspection.The central point of the fixture unit 31 when checking monolithic 102b ~ 102i is represented by central point A2 ~ A9 when checking respectively.
Figure 10 illustrates alignment mark 103a printed circuit board (PCB) 101 shown in figure 2 being taken monolithic 102a by camera unit 9 1time the vertical view of position of probe unit 36 (optical system 14 of fixture unit 31 and camera unit 9 is only roughly shown).Central point B1 during using the central point of fixture unit 31 now as shooting.At shooting alignment mark 103a 2, 103b 1, 103b 2..., 103i 1, 103i 2time the central point of fixture unit 31 respectively as central point B2 ~ B18 during shooting.The figure of central point B1 ~ B18 when Figure 11 is central point A1 ~ A9 and shooting when inspection is shown.
The minimum mobile route of shooting and the probe unit 36 when checking by the central point of trying to achieve fixture unit 31 each time touring all some A1 ~ A9, B1 ~ B18 path and calculate.Try to achieve and make to become minimum path from starting point, each time touring the total displacement turning back to the touring path of starting point a little afterwards, be widely known by the people as " travelling salesman " problem (traveling salesman problem:TSP).The minimum mobile route of probe unit 36 is in the present embodiment by considering using the initial position of probe unit 36 as starting point, and the mobile route returning starting point after making touring all some A1 ~ A9, B1 ~ B18 each time minimizes thus tries to achieve.
But, in the way of contact pattern of present embodiment checks, there is following restriction: when being conceived to 1 monolithic, only after have taken the position alignment unique point (such as alignment mark) on this monolithic, just can check.This is because by taking all position alignment unique points be arranged on 1 monolithic, its positional information must be obtained and judge that position offsets, thus making all inspection pins contact with all contacts (such as contact pad) of this monolithic.
Such as, in the relation of monolithic 102a and 102b, at all alignment mark 103a of shooting monolithic 102a 1, 103a 2afterwards, can check monolithic 102a, also can to the alignment mark 103b of monolithic 102b 1or 103b 2take, but, can not check taking the monolithic 102b also do not terminated.The minimum mobile route that the basis considering such restriction calculates probe unit 36 is very important.
In other words, the minimum mobile route of probe unit 36 is by the monolithic of 1 in multiple monolithic, carry out the condition of the inspection of this monolithic after adopting all position alignment unique points on this monolithic of shooting, and this condition is adopted to all multiple monolithics thus calculates.In the present embodiment, this minimum mobile route is in the plane (XY plane) of printed circuit board (PCB) 101, the path of central point A1 ~ A9 when the inspection pin 32 of central point B1 ~ B18 and inspection portion 3 (probe unit 36) contacts when checking inspection during the shooting of the probe unit 36 when touring camera unit 9 takes alignment mark 103 each time with the contact pad 104 of monolithic 102.
Figure 12 be pattern figure for the printed circuit board (PCB) 1001 by minimum mobile route computing formula is shown.The quantity of the monolithic 1002 comprised in printed circuit board (PCB) 1001 is n, and the quantity being arranged on the position alignment unique point in each monolithic 1002 is m.The quantity of position alignment unique point is identical with the quantity of central point during shooting.In addition, each monolithic 1002 have one check time central point.Therefore, for each monolithic 1002, there is m+1 the point needing shooting or check.Printed circuit board (PCB) 1001 needs the sum of point taken or check, during shooting namely for printed circuit board (PCB) 1001 central point and when checking the quantity of central point be (m+1) × n=mn+n.At this, the set of the numbering of each monolithic 1002 is set to B={1,2,3 ..., 1}, considers the set N (Figure 13) of mn+n point.
In set N, the mobile route between some i, some j as any 2 is set to c ij.In addition, the set of the position alignment unique point of the monolithic of being numbered by p is set to A p, the set of central point during the inspection of the monolithic of p numbering is set to I p.At this, be x by relating dot i and the 0-1 variable-definition of some j ijtime, obtain mathematical expression 1.
[mathematical expression 1]
In addition, relating dot i and the continuous variable of some j are defined as y ijtime, obtain mathematical expression 2.
[mathematical expression 2]
Further, minimum mobile route is derived by mathematical expression 3.

Based on above concept and computing method, the minimum mobile route of the probe unit 36 (fixture unit 31) that the way of contact pattern calculating shooting and the monolithic 102 carrying out alignment mark 103 efficiently checks.Below, several concrete examples of the minimum mobile route adopting these computing method to calculate will be enumerated.
(example 1)
The skeleton diagram of central point B1 ~ B18 and initial point (initial position at the center of fixture unit 31) when Figure 14 is central point A1 ~ A9, shooting when being extracted the inspection of fixture unit relative to the printed circuit board (PCB) 101 shown in Fig. 2.Figure 15 (a) be shooting of the prior art and check time fixture unit 31 the mobile route of central point, Figure 15 (b) is the mobile route after being minimized by present embodiment.
In the existing route that Figure 15 (a) illustrates, from initial point, by taking two alignment marks on 1 monolithic successively with after taking all alignment marks on all monolithics, check successively from substrate belonging to the alignment mark of last shooting.This path is if the shooting of alignment mark and the inspection of substrate caught as process independently, then its each is shorter path, but, if caught as a process of carrying out continuously taking and checking, near the path of movement when then again being taken by (intersection of arrows) when checking, therefore useless movement is many.
To this, as long as the mobile route that minimizes of the present embodiment shown in Figure 15 (b) is based on after two alignment marks be arranged in shooting on 1 monolithic, this substrate can be checked, also can take other substrate, and the optimal path calculated.This path can touring all points very efficiently.When total displacement in the path shown in Figure 15 (a) is set to about 100, total displacement in the path shown in Figure 15 (b) is about 75.Therefore, by present embodiment, displacement can be shortened about 25%, and can carry out efficiently taking and checking.
(example 2)
Figure 16 roughly illustrates the vertical view comprising and arrange the printed circuit board (PCB) 201 of the monolithic 202 that-3 row modes arrange circuitously with 3 row-2.1 monolithic 202 is provided with 2 alignment marks 203.
Figure 17 is central point when being extracted the shooting of fixture unit for the printed circuit board (PCB) 201 shown in Figure 16, the skeleton diagram of central point and initial point (initial position of clamp central) when checking.Figure 18 (a) be shooting of the prior art and check time fixture unit central point mobile route, Figure 18 (b) is the mobile route after being minimized by present embodiment.
Total displacement in the path shown in Figure 18 (a) is about 94, in contrast, total displacement in the path shown in Figure 18 (b) is about 72.Therefore, by present embodiment, displacement can be shortened about 24%, and can carry out efficiently taking and checking.
(example 3)
Figure 19 is the vertical view that the printed circuit board (PCB) 300 comprising the monolithic 302 arranged in 4 × 2 modes is roughly shown.1 monolithic 302 is provided with 2 alignment marks 303.
Figure 20 is central point when being extracted the shooting of fixture unit for the printed circuit board (PCB) 301 shown in Figure 19, the skeleton diagram of central point and initial point (initial position of clamp central) when checking.Figure 21 (a) be shooting of the prior art and check time fixture unit central point mobile route, Figure 21 (b) is the mobile route after being minimized by present embodiment.Further, in Figure 21 (a), (b), in order to clearer and more definite, movement when representing inspection by partial trace between central point, in fact, movement during inspection between central point is all the movement of linearity.
Total displacement in the path shown in Figure 21 (a) is about 86, and to this, total displacement in the path shown in Figure 21 (b) is about 69.Therefore, by present embodiment, displacement can be shortened about 19%, and can carry out efficiently taking and checking.
(example 4)
Although in above-mentioned example 1 ~ example 3,1 monolithic is provided with 2 alignment marks, the quantity of the alignment mark that 1 monolithic is arranged is not limited thereto.Figure 22 is the vertical view that the printed circuit board (PCB) 401 comprising the monolithic 402 arranged in 4 × 3 modes is roughly shown.1 monolithic 402 is provided with 1 alignment mark 403.Further, the monolithic of central array is in fig. 22 configured to rotate the state after 180 ° (reversion) relative to the monolithic of left column and right row.
Figure 23 is central point when being extracted the shooting of fixture unit for the printed circuit board (PCB) 401 shown in Figure 20, the skeleton diagram of central point and initial point (initial position of clamp central) when checking.Figure 24 (a) be shooting of the prior art and check time fixture unit central point mobile route, Figure 24 (b) is the mobile route after being minimized by present embodiment.
Total displacement in the path shown in Figure 24 (a) is about 61, in contrast, total displacement in the path shown in Figure 24 (b) is about 54.Therefore, displacement can shorten about 12%, even if the alignment mark arranged on 1 monolithic is 1, also can shorten displacement by present embodiment, and carries out efficiently taking and checking.
In addition, the alignment mark that 1 monolithic is arranged is 1, alignment mark can be the shape that cruciform etc. as shown in Figure 25 can judge position and direction.If alignment mark is circular, then be difficult to by only taking 1 alignment mark, detect/judge the position skew of the sense of rotation of the substrate with this alignment mark, but if the alignment mark of cruciform etc., then can be held the position skew of the X-direction of monolithic, Y direction or sense of rotation by the shooting of 1 alignment mark.Therefore, even 1 alignment mark, also position alignment can be carried out more accurately.
As explained above ground, according to the present embodiment, when being conceived to 1 monolithic, based on only just carrying out the restriction contacting electric checking after all alignment marks of this monolithic of shooting, calculate the minimum mobile route of probe unit, carry out shooting and the energising inspection of contact-type circuit pattern inspection device according to this minimum mobile route.Therefore, it is possible to omit the mobile route of waste, can more efficiently carry out taking and checking.
In addition, by shortening displacement, when adopting the travel mechanism of performance same as the prior art and drive control part, can shorten its check needed for time.
In addition, in the present embodiment, although central point and the minimum mobile route of central point when checking when trying to achieve the shooting of touring fixture unit 31 each time, touring point is not limited to these, also can be the miscellaneous stipulations of the probe unit 36 comprising fixture unit 31 and camera unit 9 a bit.Namely, as long as minimum mobile route is in the plane of printed circuit board (PCB) 101, the path of the some when point of the described regulation that the some during shooting that the point (central point of the optical system 14 of such as camera unit 9) of the regulation of touring probe unit 36 when taking alignment mark 103 with camera unit 9 is corresponding each time contacts when checking with the contact pad 104 of monolithic 102 with inspection portion 3 checks is just passable.
In addition, when the quantity of the monolithic of every a slice printed circuit board (PCB) more (such as tens), multiple monolithic can be collected as inspection group, manufacture fixture with the size pooled together by multiple monolithic and check.For a fairly large number of printed circuit board (PCB) comprising monolithic, when coordinating a monolithic to manufacture fixture, check that number of times increases and supervision time also corresponding increase.Therefore, if consider the cost relevant to the size of fixture and the balance of supervision time, then it is effective in units of inspection group, carrying out inspection.
Be explained above embodiments of the present invention, but the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment, those skilled in the art are known, without departing from the scope of the subject in the invention, can various improvement and amendment be carried out.
