But as wide band gap semiconducter, it is not limited to SiC substrate, or the substrate being made of semiconductors such as GaN.
Also, the wavelength of irradiated exciting light L1 is suitably set according to the material of the substrate as check object.Also, according to
The material of substrate as check object, the wavelength L1 of exciting light and relative to the luminescence generated by light L2 of defect kind characteristic and fit
When setting is used for the grayscale information or colouring information of taxonomic defficiency type.
In addition, flaw detection apparatus 1 of the invention can not only be applied to resulting from wide band gap semiconducter substrate W just
The inspection of the defect of epitaxial layer is formed by face, additionally it is possible to applied to the material for resulting from composition wide band gap semiconducter substrate W
Expect the inspection of the defect of itself.
In addition, the defect as check object is not limited to foregoing illustrative defect, or micro-pipe penetrates spiral position
Mistake runs through dislocation defects or the other kinds of defects such as edge dislocation.Also, according to these kinds as the defect of test object
Class suitably sets the wavelength of exciting light L1 and the wavelength of the luminescence generated by light L2 passed through from fluorescence optical filtering portion 20 (that is, fluorescence filters
The filter wavelength in portion 20).
[exciting light/fluorescence filters variation]
Among the above, exemplifying following composition: the excitation light irradiation unit 20 of excitation illumination part 2 is made with UV-LED
For light source, the light that illumination wavelength is 365nm or so is as the light that exciting light L1, luminescence generated by light L2 are that wavelength is 385~800nm
(i.e. close to the ultraviolet light of visible light region or even the light of visible light region).
But the wavelength components of exciting light L1 are suitably determined i.e. according to the type of substrate or defect as check object
It can.Similarly, make the light of which kind of wavelength band by (i.e. about the luminescence generated by light L2 as the reference object for defect inspection
Filter), it is suitably determined according to the wavelength of the type of substrate, defect as check object or exciting light L1.
Specifically, if the various defects as check object generate in the SiC epitaxial layer being grown in SiC substrate,
Then illumination wavelength is the light of 375nm or less (so-called ultraviolet light) as exciting light L1, if generating on being grown on GaN substrate
In GaN epitaxial layer, then illumination wavelength is 365nm deep ultraviolet light below as exciting light L1.
For example, if as check object various defects generate in the GaN epitaxial layer being grown in GaN substrate, and swash
The wavelength of luminous L1 is the deep ultraviolet light near 300nm, and luminescence generated by light L2 is the purple close to the visible light region of 350~400nm
Outer light is then used as Fluirescence observation optical filter, uses the spy for making 350nm wavelength attenuation below, passing through the wavelength of 350nm or more
The Fluirescence observation optical filter of property.
In addition, being not limited to UV-LED as light source 21 possessed by excitation light irradiation unit 20, it is also possible to use and swashs
The composition of optical generator or laser diode, xenon lamp etc..For example, if it is the feelings for using laser oscillator or laser diode
Condition is then configured to wavelength as defined in irradiating using the so-called UV laser for being composed YAG laser, YVO4 laser and THG
Exciting light L1.On the other hand, if it is using the white light sources such as xenon lamp or metal halide lamp, mercury xenon lamp, mercury vapor lamp
The case where, then be configured to using make the wavelength components of exciting light L1 by wavelength components in addition to this carry out absorb or
The UV transmitting filter of reflection or dichronic mirror etc. are come the exciting light L1 of wavelength as defined in irradiating.In addition, light source 21 can be selected suitably
The modes such as optical point source or area source set the focal length or allocation position of projecting lens according to the mode of light source.
In addition, fluorescence optical filtering portion 32 is not limited to composition as described above, it can also be by being applied to object lens 30a~30c or figure
As the coated film on the surface of sensor 35 is constituted.
[variation of shooting multiplying power switching part]
Among the above, as shooting multiplying power switching part 31, exemplify according to the control signal from control unit 5 and slide/
Static electrical actuator mechanism.But shooting multiplying power switching part 31 is also possible to by other means to object lens 30a~30c
The structure switched over, can be by the structures such as electrodynamic transducer mechanism of rotary/static according to the control signal from control unit 5
At.
[variation of control unit]
On the basis of implementing the present invention, in the side for carrying out image acquisition using stepping repetitive mode as described above
In the case where formula, preferably during mobile to next camera site, becomes do not irradiate (the so-called pass exciting light L1 in advance
Lamp) state.
Specifically, using following composition: illumination unit 20 is connect with control unit 5, by remote operation,
By the ON/OFF (ON/OFF) of the electric current for projecting illumination light or the opening and closing of gate, to the ON/OFF (ON/OFF) of exciting light L1
Switch over control.If such composition, then control unit 5 irradiates exciting light L1 when being shot using shooting camera 33,
It then can be switched to the state for not irradiating exciting light L1 (so-called to turn off the light) during mobile to next camera site, in width
When non-inspection (i.e.) does not irradiate unwanted exciting light L1 in the movement of gap semiconductor substrate W, therefore can be improved defect
Extension prevents effect.
But control is switched over to the ON/OFF of exciting light L1 (ON/OFF) and is not required in that function, if low
In the case that the energy densities such as the observation of multiplying power are low, compared with the time needed for the review time in the phase mobile to next position
Between irradiate exciting light L1 time it is shorter situation it is inferior effect hardly is come to the expansion bands of defect, then can begin
Irradiation exciting light L1 eventually.
[relative movement portion/shooting camera variation]
In addition, as an example in relative movement portion 9, exemplifying and being obtained using stepping repetitive mode progress image among the above
The mode taken, but on the basis of implementing the present invention, it is not limited to such mode, or carry out using scanning mode
The mode that image obtains.
Specifically, may be exemplified out following such modes.
(1) using the shooting camera with area sensor, exciting light L1 is issued according to strobe mode.
(2) the shooting camera of tool wired sensor or tdi sensor is used, always prolonged exposure exciting light L1.At this point, pressing
According to the length direction of line sensor or tdi sensor and relative movement portion 9 scanning direction intersect (preferred vertical) mode it is pre-
First configure.
In addition, as an example in relative movement portion 9, illustration, which is sent as an envoy to, loads the base of wide band gap semiconducter substrate W among the above
Plate maintaining part 8 is in the x-direction and the z-direction relative to the excitation illumination part 2 and fluorescence shoot part 3 being mounted on device frame 1f
Mobile mode.But relative movement portion 9 is not limited to such composition, or following such modes.
