Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method for identifying defects existing on the front and back surfaces of a glass substrate for a liquid crystal panel. 2. Description of the Related Art A large number of TFT elements are formed on the surface of a TFT substrate constituting a liquid crystal panel using a glass substrate as a material. If a defect such as a scratch is present on this surface, a TFT element is not formed satisfactorily in that part,
Since the quality of the substrate is hindered, a defect inspection apparatus inspects the presence or absence of a defect and takes necessary measures. In the defect inspection device, by a detection optical system, a laser beam is projected on a glass substrate, scattered light of the defect is received by a light receiver to detect the defect, and the detection signal is processed by a data processing unit. Defect data obtained by calculating the size of a defect and adding a coordinate value at which the defect exists is output. There are various types of defects in glass substrates.
As typical examples, there are three kinds of foreign matters and scratches present on the front surface or the rear surface, and bubbles existing inside the substrate. Of these, foreign matter on the front surface and scratches are inconvenient defects because they impair the quality of the TFT element to be formed, but foreign matter on the back surface and scratches and bubbles inside are harmful unless they are too large. Can be ignored because there is no Thus, the three types of defects are based on the type of TFT.
Therefore, it is necessary to specify these types, but the above-described defect inspection apparatus does not have a function of determining the type. On the other hand, the inventor of the present invention has devised a method of detecting each defect and determining the type of the defect, and has filed a patent application for “a method of determining the type of defect on a glass substrate”. [0004] The above-described defect inspection apparatus detects both the front and rear surface defects, and the above-described defect type determination method also employs any of the two-sided defect detection methods. It also detects defects. However, surface defects impair the quality of the TFT element, and appropriate measures are taken. However, surface defects are harmless because they are not directly related to TFT, and it is necessary to identify them for substrate management. It is. Conventionally, an effective method for distinguishing a front surface defect from a rear surface defect has not been put to practical use yet. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to detect a defect in a glass substrate and reliably identify whether the defect is present on the front surface or the back surface. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a method for identifying front and back defects of a glass substrate, which solves the above-mentioned problems. by projecting beams L T, the light spot S P on its surface
Forming a by laser beam L T refracted by the surface to form a light spot S P 'on the back. Symmetrically to the light projecting system, the spatial filters of the light receiving system provided at a light receiving angle of about 45 ° cut off the specularly reflected lights L H and L R of the two light spots SP and SP ′ from the front and back surfaces. the scattered light S H of the defect K H at the position of the light spot S P, scattered light S R of the defect K R at the position of the light spot S P ', by an imaging lens, a CCD image sensor, both light spot S P, 2 pieces of specific elements corresponding to the S P 'e H, to form an image on e R. The presence / absence of the defect signals D H and D R output by the two elements e H and e R respectively is determined by “1”.
As "0", each identifying the following conditions: (D H: "1" , D R: "0"); K H ......... condition (1) (D H: " 1", D R: "1 ); K H ... Condition (2) (D H : “0”, D R : “1”); K R ... Condition (3), the front surface defect K H and the rear surface defect K R. Is to be identified. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, the principle of a front / back defect identification method according to the present invention will be described. In FIG. 1, the thickness of the glass substrate 1 is h, the surface on which the TFT is formed is H, the defect existing in H is K H , the rear surface is R, and the defect existing in R is KR. The laser beam L T to the substrate 1, and projected at an incident angle theta 1 of 45 °, to form a light spot S P to the surface H. The laser beam L T is also to be projected on the rear surface R is refracted by the surface H to form a light spot S P '. In this case, the formation position of both light spots SP and SP 'is
The refractive angle of the laser beam L T by the surface H, spaced by a predetermined distance d which is determined by the thickness h of the substrate 1. Both the light spot S P, of S P ', the surface H and back R due to the positive reflection light L H, are blocked by the spatial filter F and L R. Defect KH
There were scattered scattered light S H to be present at the position of the light spot S P, scatters the scattered light S R and defects K R is present in the position of the light spot S P '. Both the scattered light S H, the S R, the light receiving angle theta 2 is received by the CCD sensor through 45 ° of the imaging lens, both the defect K H, image K R are both the light spot S P, spacing S P ' spaced by a distance d 'corresponding to the d, 2 pieces of specific elements e H of the CCD sensor, is focused on e R, both elements e H, e R defect K H, the defect signal D H for K R, D R to be output, respectively. Therefore, both the defect signal D H, the presence or absence of D R, respectively "1", when "0", the identification conditions: (D H: "1" , D R: "0"); K H ...... conditional (1) (D H: " 0", D R: "1"); it is clear that K R ......... condition (3) is satisfied. However, both defects K H ,
K R is, when present light spot S P, the position of the S P 'at the same time, (D H: "1" , D R: "1"); but K H ......... condition (2) is satisfied , the back surface of the defect K R is ignored, there is no problem because the defect K H of the surface are identified. In addition, the defect K H
Due because the size of the large, when the intensity of the scattered light S H is large, which is reflected by the rear surface R is refracted by the surface H, in the same way as the light spot S P ', device and re refracted at the surface H e R may form an image. Again, both the defect signal D H, because D R both become "1",
Condition (2) holds. Thus, a virtual image defect is generated on the back side.
Irradiate a laser beam that emits light from one side of the front side.
After obtaining the respective detection states, under the conditions (1) and (3),
Is not detected by the other party,
Judge surface defects and back surface defects.
Those that generate a surface virtual image are determined as surface defects. This judgment
As a result, the original surface defect enters the front side defect,
The backside virtual image defect is excluded from the detection of the defect. Note that in reality
If there is a real defect at the same position on the front and back, stochastically
Low, so ignore surface defects in this case and only surface defects
There is no problem in practice. Thus, the defect K H of the front surface and the back surface of the defect K R is reliably identified. In addition,
This has been confirmed by trial experiments. by the way,
The reason that the condition (2) is necessary as the identification condition is that, as a configuration of the present invention, the reflected light from the back side can be received, and the scattered light is received to obtain a front and back defect detection signal. Therefore, it is necessary to project relatively strong light on the glass surface. Therefore, unless the condition (2) is added to the identification criterion, the actual front / back determination is not sufficient.
The condition (2) is a detection state in which there is a defect on both the front and back sides, but this state does not mean that a large number of defects are detected, but may be determined depending on the detection target.
For example, in the case of a glass substrate for a liquid crystal panel, when the condition (2) is satisfied, it is determined that the surface-side defect is present. The defect on the front side of the liquid crystal panel impairs the quality, but the defect on the back side of the point has almost no influence. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a defect detection / front / back identification device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. However, this embodiment is configured to be applied to a glass substrate whose defect type is distinguished by the above-mentioned “method of determining defect type of glass substrate”. FIG.
