[Prior Art J BACKGROUND] An object such as, but not limited to, a printed circuit board (PCB), a wafer, and an HDI can be used to illuminate a portion of the object by a spot, a column of light, or a so-called area illumination. test. Light reflected, scattered, and arbitrarily penetrating from objects will be detected. During the inspection (evaluation), the object can be illuminated by area illumination, point illumination or line illumination. A spot or a line of light scans the object and allows the system to capture an image of the object. In order not to cause errors during the inspection or evaluation process, the column of light should be uniform, especially when used in comparison to the test. In particular, the illuminating device should meet the following (important) requirements (1) spatial uniformity of light intensity 20 over the entire array of rays; (li) angular uniformity of light intensity over the entire array of rays; (iii) illumination over a wide range of angles ( Also known as high numerical aperture illumination); (iv) the ability to control the range of angle coverage (depending on the type of application), spectrum control (depending on the type of application), (v) high efficiency, (vi) durable, and ( Vii) low cost. Array light can be provided using imaging optics that can include reflective optical elements (convergence mirrors) or refracted light elements (convergence lenses). Referring to Figure la, an imaging illumination optical element (represented by "imaging optics") 14 converts linear light source 12 into a series of rays 16 (represented by "focus lines") on an object (not shown). The imaging optical element can be a 5 refractive (lens) or a reflective (converging mirror). Limited by numerical apertures and in the absence of a porous (lacunose) design, the refractive efficiency is poor with refractive optics. This can be illustrated by a two-dimensional light intensity map 20 comprising three spaced apart coverage ranges 26, 24 and 22 in Figure lb. Reflective optical components (oval or more complex mirrors) do not have the above problems. This can be illustrated by a two-dimensional light intensity map 30 comprising a single continuous coverage range 32 in the lcth diagram. General problems with illumination design imaging methods are: (1) strongly correlated with local non-uniformity of the light source; and (2) small optomechanical tolerance. These shortcomings can be partially overcome by inserting additional mixing or diffusing elements, however this can significantly reduce overall design efficiency. Non-imaging methods involve projecting a linear source with or without mixing in a large area. Figures 2a-2c illustrate different system combinations. First map

Illumination optics 1 2 includes non-imaging optics. It consists of a rectangular (as thin paper) array of light sources (〇), which is accompanied by a collection optics (reflective or refractive) that emits light from a rectangular (eg thin tissue) array of light sources. Focus on the narrow-column light 120. Figure 3b illustrates the continuous coverage obtained by illumination optics 102 - the two-dimensional light intensity map 130 includes a single continuous coverage range 132. 10 Figure 4a illustrates an illumination optics 166 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The plurality of collimated light sources 150-156 are arranged along a curved plane (which can be coupled to or integrated with a convex sheet) such that all of the beams (140 - 146) emitted from the collimated sources point to the same area to provide a column of light. 16〇. This combination does not include concentrating optics, although it appears simple, this method 15 requires very sophisticated techniques to achieve acceptable levels of light uniformity. Figure 4b illustrates an illumination optics 199 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-beam semi-collimated light sources 170-178 are configured in a planned manner to form a planarly extending semi-collimated light source. This plane-extending semi-collimated light source is accompanied by a cylindrical planar TIR (total internal reflection) 20 mirror 2 as a collecting optical element. The angular coverage produced by the cylindrical planar T1R lens 202 is broad and has no aberrations characteristic of conventional refractive optical elements. Suitably, the central portion of the TIR lens 202 is refractive. As indicated by beams 190-198, the beam 18 〇 188 produced by the semi-collimated sources 170-178 will pass through the TIR lens 202 and will be directed to the column ray 200. 9 200842399 Suitably, the extended semi-collimated light source can comprise an array of a plurality of individual light sources. These light sources should emit a narrow beam of light and be substantially equal to each other in terms of illuminating pattern and intensity. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is used as a half-collimated light source and should meet at least some of the following conditions: The viewing angle (per LED) should not exceed 1 degree. The LED array should be arranged in the hexagonal closest packing ("honeycomb") (as described in Figure 5b), and the light emitted by the LEDs should have a high luminous energy - about 1 〇〇〇 lumen /100 mm, these LEDs should be multi-colored LEDs (for example, 10 red, yellow, blue/cyan, and the like), the color of the light emitted by the LED array can be electronically controlled The coverage of the illumination angle should be electronically controlled by the LED locations, and the LED array should have an effective cooling mechanism. It should be noted that the LED array should not be required to meet all of these requirements and that various values (e.g., _ intensity values, viewing angles) are not mandatory. Suitably, the LED array comprises an LED having a narrow illumination angle to provide a half collimated source. When a narrower light source can be concentrated in a narrower strip of light and has higher efficiency, the LED illumination angle has a fairly direct impact on the light collection efficiency of the illuminated optical component. The following table shows some of the 20 simulation results: LED illumination angle (201/2) ° strip width (2W1/2), metric strip peak intensity (relative unit) high NA TIR lens low NA Fresnel lens height N. ATIR Lens Low NA Non-Muller Lens 3 1 3.2 0.8 0.55 10 200842399 5 1.5 6 0.6 0.4 10 4 7 0.3 0.35 Suitably, the LEDs of the LED array are arranged in a hexagonal closest packing. Figure 5a illustrates a rectangular LED array in which the LEDs 210-218 are arranged in a rectangular manner and an intensity map 5 219 formed by the array. Figure 5b illustrates a rectangular LED array in which the LEDs 220-237 are arranged in a hexagonal manner (also referred to as hexagonal stacking of LEDs) and an intensity map formed by the array, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. . Figure 5c illustrates the relationship between a "invisible" gap 265, a working distance 252, and an LED spacing 250 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The 10 gaps are invisible to the extent that they do not cause gaps within the coverage of the column ray 270. The LED array of Figure 5b (for the LED array of Figure 5b) provides better spatial and angular uniformity in the column ray. degree. As shown in Figure 5c, the minimum acceptable LED array spacing is a function of the set of 15 light geometries (working distance, individual LED dimensions) and the numerical aperture of the collection optics. Longer working distances (252 of Figure 5c), lower NA, and larger LED sizes can tolerate larger spacing (250). For example, a working distance of 17 mm, an LED diameter of 5 mm, and a distance of 1 mm can form a gap of about 1 degree between adjacent beams 263 and 264 (ejected from adjacent LEDs 243 2 〇 and 244). However, this gap will not be noticed in the column ray 270. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, each of the LEDs in the array includes a plurality of light emitting components and each component emits light of a different color. The light emitted by each of the 11 200842399 LEDs can be 'electronically controlled' by determining which light-emitting component to activate. When such an LED is used, the color of each group [ED (the group can include - or more LEDs) will be electronically controllable. It should be noted that a group of LEDs may include one of its combinations, a row, an array of maneuverability trade-offs. Therefore, the two-dimensional sub-array of each individual led, the ------------- The control of the LED group in the _ array can be in the complexity of the control mechanism with the coffee
的特徵在於最大的可操縱性但需要非常複雜的控制機制與 複雜的接線。 根據本發明尚有之另一實施例,每一個LED(或甚至每 一群LED)可以是單色的(並放出紫外至紅外光)。 根據本發明仍尚有之另一實施例,該彩色的光可藉由 使用彩色濾光片與特別組配之彩色濾光片來控制。 應注意到一多色LED陣列可放射出紅藍綠光、白光或 15其他顏色之組合。適合地,該LED陣列應能夠放射出紅光 及/或黃光及/或藍光。 適合地,在色彩強度上之獨立電子式控制可允許將照 明頻譜之調整以符合特定之應用需求。 第6圖說明根據本發明之一實施例之lED陣列3⑽、 2〇控制器31〇及一強度調變曲線33〇。It is characterized by maximum maneuverability but requires very complex control mechanisms and complex wiring. According to yet another embodiment of the invention, each LED (or even a group of LEDs) can be monochromatic (and emit ultraviolet to infrared light). According to still another embodiment of the present invention, the colored light can be controlled by using a color filter and a specially assembled color filter. It should be noted that a multi-color LED array can emit a combination of red, blue, green, white, or 15 other colors. Suitably, the LED array should be capable of emitting red and/or yellow and/or blue light. Suitably, independent electronic control over color intensity allows adjustment of the illumination spectrum to suit a particular application need. Figure 6 illustrates an lED array 3 (10), a 2-turn controller 31A, and a intensity modulation curve 33A in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
