Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure a size of an object to be measured with the use of an inexpensive means by enhancing a resolution and make a substrate-inspecting apparatus itself compact. SOLUTION: A luminous flux generated from a laser light source 1 is enlarged by a cylindrical lens and then turned to a plane parallel luminous flux by a plano-convex lens 2. The plane parallel luminous flux is reflected by a mirror 3 and projected to a solder 5 with a fixed angle θ. As a result, bright- lines linearly appear on a substrate 6 including on the solder 5, and a break of the bright-lines is brought about due to a height of the solder 5. The bright- lines are picked up by a one-dimensional sensor 4 arranged above the substrate 6 along the linear bright-lines. A state of the picked-up bright-lines is formed into an image by an image-analyzing means, and a size of the solder 5 is operated.

Generally, in this light cutting method, radial light generated by a laser or the like is magnified by a convex lens or the like, and is directly irradiated at a certain angle to a laser radiation surface and an inspection surface of an object to be measured. On the other hand, the unevenness of the bright line formed by the height of the part is measured two-dimensionally and the height is calculated.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional light cutting method, the size of the luminescent spot depends on the thickness of the beam of the laser beam 10. Therefore, in order to increase the height accuracy of the cream solder to be measured, In addition, it is necessary to reduce the beam diameter, and when the beam diameter is reduced by the lens, there is a disadvantage that the depth of focus is reduced and the resolution changes depending on the position and height of the measurement object. Further, in order to increase the resolution by using an optical sensor, it is necessary to use an area type CCD camera having a large number of pixels, which is expensive. Further, even when the area-type CCD camera or the like is used, there is a limit in resolution as compared with, for example, the case where a one-dimensional line-type CCD camera is used.

Further, the laser beam 10 must be incident on the object at a certain angle from the front, and the shift of the bright line must be measured from the upper surface of the object from a direction different from the incident direction.
