Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the measuring accuracy, and also, to execute the measurement at a high speed by forming a photodetecting sensor by placing in parallel plural one-dimensional semiconductor position detectors of thin width in the width direction, and allowing them to photodetect reflected light beams from an object along its width direction. CONSTITUTION:Plural one-dimensional semiconductor position detectors (PSD) 8a of thin width are placed in parallel and provided as a photodetecting sensor, a slit or plural spot light beams are used as a light source, and outputs are fetched from an electrode A(IA1-IAn) and an electrode B(IB1-IBn) of both ends of each PSD 8a. A light beam from a light source 1 becomes a light light by a lens Z and a slit plate 19 and projected onto an object to be measured 3, and a reflected light of the slit light on the object to be measured 3 is allowed to form an image on the photodetecting surface of the PSD 8a through a photodetecting lens 4. Subsequently, a surface shape of the object 3 to be measured can be measured from a position displacement of the slit light which is brought to image formation on the PSD 8a.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a shape measuring device using a slit or a plurality of spot lights.

(Prior Art) Shape measurement using triangulation includes a method of projecting spot light.

As shown in Figure 5, the light point is transmitted from the light source 1 through the lens 2 L = (D: distance between the light emitting and light receiving parts, F: distance between the light receiving lens and the light receiving sensor, In this method, the distance to the object to be measured 3 is determined from the distance to the measured object (distance to the position).

However, in order to increase the measurement accuracy, this method uses a point light source with a diameter of several tens of micrometers to 1 mm, so it is difficult to measure the entire surface of a wide area, such as when measuring the shape of a board surface in a circuit pattern direct drawing device. When measuring everything thoroughly, it is necessary to use an X-Y stage, etc. to move the object to be measured each time, or to scan the sensor, which has the disadvantage that the measurement takes time. be.

There is a light cutting method (slit light projection method) as a method for shortening this measurement time. As shown in Part 6, this is an attempt to speed up the measurement by expanding the projected pattern one-dimensionally from the spot light to the slit light 6.

In the light spot displacement method shown in Figure 5, which uses spot light, each light spot has 1
Previously, measurements were taken at a single point, but with the light section method, measurements can be made at once using a line light source, which is a one-dimensional extension of the spot source, and a two-dimensional light receiving sensor. Since no moving scanning is required, faster measurement is possible, but since the optical cutting method uses a slit light (line light source) as a light source, a two-dimensional light receiving sensor must be used to receive the light. This two-dimensional light receiving sensor usually uses C
A two-dimensional digital image sensor such as an OD is used. The two-dimensional CCD sensor 5a is, for example, an incline type CCD sensor.
Since the OD is a two-dimensional array of photodiodes 7 arranged on an IC chip as shown in FIG.
Each content must be read out and scanned, and a certain amount of detection time is required.

In addition, as shown in Figure 7), when the reflected light of the slit light 6 hits the photodiodes 7a and 7b of the two-dimensional CCD sensor 5a through the lens 4, it becomes a digital signal P output, and it appears that the upper photodiodes 7a and 7b are When turned on, the center E of the photodiodes 7a and 7b becomes an output signal. On the other hand, since the center of the reflected light of the slit light 6 is C, an error of e appears between the two. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of shape measurement, it is necessary to increase the resolution of the light receiving sensor, so the number of bits of the COD pixel must be increased.
Correspondingly, the COD scanning time also increases, making measurement slow.

このように、測定精度を高めようとすると測定時間が長

問題があるために測定の高速化は困難であった。
As described above, it has been difficult to increase the speed of measurement because there is a problem in that trying to increase measurement accuracy increases measurement time, and trying to shorten measurement time deteriorates accuracy.

Further, a PSD (semiconductor device detector) is used as a detection element for spot light, but unlike a COD, this is an analog type element, has high resolution, and does not require readout scanning, so high-speed response is possible.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device detector (-dimensional PSD) 8, in which both sides are formed of a uniform resistance layer, and a pair of electrodes A and B for signal extraction are provided at both ends of the resistance layer. and generates a photocurrent due to the photoelectric effect. If the distance between picture electrodes A and B is l, and the distance from electrode A to the light incident position is X, then the photogenerated current Io generated at the light incident position is inversely proportional to the distance to each electrode. Since the light is divided into two parts and extracted, the incident position of the light can be measured.
