薄膜電晶體面板缺陷之檢測方法及其裝置 Method and device for detecting defects of thin film transistor panel

本發明為一種薄膜電晶體(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT)面板缺陷之檢測方法及其裝置,尤指一種利用強制熔斷缺陷之以利後續檢測方法及其裝置。 The invention relates to a thin-film transistor (Thin-Film Transistor, TFT) panel defect detection method and a device thereof, and particularly to a method and a device for facilitating subsequent detection by using a forced fusing defect.

目前台灣的面板業是以薄膜電晶體(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT)液晶顯示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)為主,其利用一片TFT面板與另一片彩色濾光片(Color Filter,CF)相貼合後,再灌入液晶而形成。其製程包括陣列(Array)段之前段及面板(Cell)組裝之後段,而TFT面板(Panel)在製作的過程中,必須先使用一種電性檢測設備對其缺陷進行檢測,俾確保產品的品質無虞。 At present, the panel industry in Taiwan is mainly based on Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It uses a TFT panel to be attached to another color filter (CF). After closing, it is filled with liquid crystal. The manufacturing process includes the front section of the Array section and the rear section of the Cell assembly. During the production process of the TFT panel, it is necessary to first use an electrical testing equipment to detect its defects to ensure the quality of the product. No worries.

請參閱第一圖,顯示出針對一TFT面板10缺陷的非接觸式之檢測技術,是使用一個感應器頭(sensor head)11做為一給電電極,並利用交流電施加約500V(視產品及使用者設定)的電壓至一線路12,而感應器頭11與線路12之間保持有一段150~100μm的距離DP,即利用此空間的空氣當作介質,然後利用電容原理產生微小的感應 電流,並在感應它的微小電流之後,經過一非接觸式之接收電極13及一放大器14放大信號,即可輸出相對應的電壓。當檢測出線路15有出現如第二圖所示之一訊號變化SC時,即得以檢測出線路15中具有此斷線(Open)或短路(Short)的缺陷(Defect)之位置20。 Please refer to the first figure, which shows a non-contact detection technology for a defect of a TFT panel 10, which uses a sensor head 11 as a power supply electrode, and applies about 500V with alternating current (depending on the product and use) (Set by the person) to a line 12, and a distance of 150 ~ 100μm is maintained between the sensor head 11 and the line 12, that is, using the air in this space as a medium, and then using the capacitance principle to generate a small induction After the current is sensed, the signal is amplified through a non-contact receiving electrode 13 and an amplifier 14 after inducing its tiny current, and a corresponding voltage can be output. When it is detected that there is a signal change SC in the line 15 as shown in the second figure, the position 20 in the line 15 having the defect (Defect) of the open or short circuit can be detected.

請參閱第三圖,顯示出另一種對一TFT面板30缺陷的接觸式檢測技術,是使用位於探針台(Prober)上的一個探針(Probe)31做為一給電電極,並利用直流電(DC)施加約20V(視產品及使用者設定)的電壓至一線路32,而此探針31與線路32是直接接觸以感應線路的電壓或電流,經過另一探針33做為一接收電極及一放大器34放大信號。當檢測出線路32有出現如第四圖所示之一訊號變化SC時,即得以檢測出線路35是具有此斷線(Open)或短路(Short)之缺陷(Defect)位置40。 Please refer to the third figure, which shows another contact detection technology for a defect of a TFT panel 30. A probe 31 on a prober (Prober) is used as a power supply electrode, and a direct current ( DC) Apply a voltage of about 20V (depending on the product and user settings) to a line 32, and this probe 31 is in direct contact with the line 32 to sense the voltage or current of the line, and another probe 33 is used as a receiving electrode And an amplifier 34 amplifies the signal. When it is detected that the line 32 has a signal change SC as shown in the fourth figure, it can be detected that the line 35 has a defect position 40 of this open (short) or short (short).

請參閱第五圖,顯示出另一種對一TFT面板50缺陷的接觸式檢測技術,是使用一個探針51做為一給電電極,並利用交流電施加電壓至一線路52,探針51與線路52是直接接觸的,但是在接收電極的部分則改為一非接觸式之接收電極53及一放大器54放大信號。 Please refer to the fifth figure, which shows another contact detection technology for a defect of a TFT panel 50, which uses a probe 51 as a power supply electrode and applies AC voltage to a line 52. The probe 51 and the line 52 It is in direct contact, but the part of the receiving electrode is changed to a non-contact receiving electrode 53 and an amplifier 54 to amplify the signal.

然而以上三種檢測方式仍有其無法克服的缺點,包括:外圍線路的斷線及短路缺陷、驅動IC線路缺陷(GOA)、畫素線路區斷線及短路缺陷。 However, the above three detection methods still have their insurmountable shortcomings, including: disconnection and short-circuit defects of peripheral circuits, driver IC circuit defects (GOA), pixel circuit area disconnection and short-circuit defects.

如第六圖所示的線路61、62之一的微短路缺陷63,其中微短路缺陷63可能是一些顆粒(Particle)等雜 質而造成的,其原本是屬於圖案(Pattern)的一部份,經清洗機清洗而剝離掉落,當施加一驅動電壓V至線路61、62時(虛線DR表示電流方向),由於電流在尚未中斷但已缺掉一大片而僅剩下一絲絲的微短路缺陷63處仍然是流得過去,因此在正常方式下是檢測不出來的,但是微短路缺陷63在製成產品後,經過長期的使用後,可能因為持續電流的驅動而劣化而崩斷,造成線路功能的故障。 As shown in the sixth figure, the micro-short-circuit defect 63 of one of the lines 61 and 62, wherein the micro-short-circuit defect 63 may be some particles or other impurities. Due to the quality, it was originally a part of the pattern. It was peeled off after being cleaned by a washing machine. When a driving voltage V was applied to the lines 61 and 62 (the dotted line DR indicates the direction of the current), due to the current in the The micro short-circuit defect 63 that has not been interrupted but has a large piece missing and only a trace remains is still passing, so it cannot be detected in the normal way, but the micro short-circuit defect 63 has been in the product for a long period of time. After use, it may be broken due to continuous current driving and cause line function failure.

請參閱第七圖,由於製程的失誤,使得導電異物721黏附於線路71及72甚至於線路73上,而造成線路71、72及73之間不正常的電性連接而短路,而導致線路功能的故障。 Please refer to the seventh figure. Due to a process error, the conductive foreign matter 721 adheres to the lines 71 and 72 and even the line 73, resulting in an abnormal electrical connection between the lines 71, 72, and 73 and a short circuit, which results in the function of the line failure.

上述的缺陷在Array段並不易檢測出,通常會在Cell段之點燈站點才發現缺陷,而在Cell段點燈站雖可檢出缺陷,但修補的良率卻是偏低的。況且斷線的缺陷於面板修補站(Cell Repair)是無法進行修補,因為斷線的缺陷需於Array段中的雷射化學氣相沉積(Laser CVD)段才可進行修補,至於短路的缺陷雖可在Cell Repair進行修補,但相對於Array段,在此Repair修補的成功率是偏低的。 The above-mentioned defects are not easy to detect in the Array section. Usually, the defects are only found at the lighting section of the Cell section. Although the defects can be detected at the lighting section of the Cell section, the repair rate is low. Moreover, the defect of the disconnection cannot be repaired at the Cell Repair, because the defect of the disconnection can only be repaired by the Laser CVD segment in the Array segment. Can be repaired in Cell Repair, but compared to the Array segment, the success rate of Repair is relatively low.

職是之故,如何解決在Array段時前述缺陷檢出不易之問題,經發明人致力於實驗、測試及研究後,終於獲得一種薄膜電晶體面板缺陷之檢測方法及其裝置,除了有效地檢出在Array段的前述缺陷之外,亦能兼具有提高修補良率之功效。亦即本發明所欲解決的課題為如何克 服在Array段的線路之斷線及短路缺陷不易檢測出的問題,而使得線路之斷線及短路缺陷在Array段就能進行修補,又如何克服存有缺陷的位置需予以定位之問題,以及如何克服依循修補路徑對缺陷位置進行修補的問題等。 The reason is how to solve the problem that the aforementioned defects are not easy to detect in the Array section. After the inventor devoted himself to experiments, tests and studies, he finally obtained a method and device for detecting defects in thin-film transistor panels. In addition to the aforementioned defects of the Array segment, it can also have the effect of improving the repair yield. That is, how to solve the problem The problem of disconnection and short-circuit defects of the line in the Array segment is difficult to detect, so that the disconnection and short-circuit defects of the line can be repaired in the Array segment, and how to overcome the problem of the location of the defect, and How to overcome the problem of repairing defect locations by following the repair path.

在第一種情況下,為了節省檢測時間,可先將缺陷檢測裝置設定為熔斷模式,以對薄膜電晶體(TFT)玻璃基板上的線路,先以第一探針施加具第一參數的第一電氣信號於第一偵測點,以使該線路上可能存在而且以一般儀器難以偵測的微細缺陷先行加以熔斷,而後將缺陷檢測裝置設定為量測模式,以第二探針施加具第二參數的量測之第二電氣信號於第二偵測點以檢測該線路,並以第二回路探針於第四偵測點得到代表量測結果的第三電氣信號,根據第三電氣信號之第三參數,以確定該等缺陷已被熔斷。具體而言,在熔斷模式完成時,第三電氣信號的第三參數如電壓及電流應該消失,則可確定各該複數線路上的缺陷已被熔斷,然後缺陷檢測裝置移至下一個線路進行同樣的操作,但如果當前述微細缺陷不存在時,第三電氣信號的第三參數仍然與正常線路一樣。因此本發明所提出的檢測方法及裝置,可以加速檢測,另外由於事先對所有線路先進行熔斷處理,然後再進行量測等一貫作業的方式,可以簡化工廠測試流程,提高檢測效率。 In the first case, in order to save the inspection time, the defect detection device can be set to a fusing mode first to apply a first probe with a first parameter to a circuit on a thin film transistor (TFT) glass substrate. An electrical signal is applied to the first detection point, so that the circuit may be fused with micro-defects that are difficult to detect by ordinary instruments, and then the defect detection device is set to the measurement mode. The second electrical signal of the two parameter measurement is detected at the second detection point to detect the line, and the third electrical signal representing the measurement result is obtained at the fourth detection point by the second loop probe. According to the third electrical signal, The third parameter is to determine that these defects have been blown. Specifically, when the fuse mode is completed, the third parameter of the third electrical signal, such as voltage and current, should disappear, it can be determined that the defects on each of the plurality of lines have been blown, and then the defect detection device is moved to the next line to perform the same Operation, but if the aforementioned fine defect does not exist, the third parameter of the third electrical signal is still the same as the normal line. Therefore, the detection method and device provided by the present invention can speed up the detection. In addition, since all the circuits are first fused and then measured in a consistent manner, the factory test process can be simplified and the detection efficiency can be improved.

在第二種情況下,為了先確定線路缺陷的位置,先將缺陷檢測裝置設定為量測模式,以第二探針先施加具第二參數的量測之第二電氣信號於第二偵測點以檢 測該線路,並以第二回路探針於第四偵測點所得到代表量測結果的第三電氣信號之第三參數,與事先設定相對於該線路的參考值作比較。 In the second case, in order to determine the position of the line defect first, the defect detection device is set to the measurement mode, and the second probe first applies the second electrical signal with the second parameter measurement to the second detection. Check Measure the line, and compare the third parameter of the third electrical signal representing the measurement result obtained by the second loop probe at the fourth detection point with the reference value set in advance with respect to the line.

具體而言,請參閱第六圖,當類似第六圖之微短路缺陷63的缺陷存在線路上,使得線路之電阻值變高,因此第三電氣信號的第三參數中的電流值比相對於該線路的參考電流值為小,因此可以判斷微短路缺陷63缺陷的存在。在另一種情況,如果線路出現斷路缺陷,使得第三電氣信號的第三參數中的電流值及電壓都為零,因此可以判斷斷路缺陷的存在。 Specifically, please refer to the sixth figure. When a defect similar to the micro short-circuit defect 63 of the sixth figure exists on the line, the resistance value of the line becomes high, so the current value ratio in the third parameter of the third electrical signal is relative to The reference current value of this line is small, so the existence of the micro-short defect 63 can be judged. In another case, if a disconnection defect occurs on the line, the current value and voltage in the third parameter of the third electrical signal are both zero, so the existence of the disconnection defect can be determined.

在確定該線路存在缺陷之後,缺陷檢測裝置被設定為熔斷模式,以第一探針於第一偵測點對存在缺陷的線路,施加具第一參數的第一電氣信號,將以一般儀器難以偵測的微細缺陷加以熔斷,然後將缺陷檢測裝置移至下一個線路進行同樣的操作。如果在確定該線路並不存在缺陷時或者該缺陷為斷路缺陷,缺陷檢測裝置不會被設定為熔斷模式,而是將缺陷檢測裝置移至下一個線路進行同樣的操作。 After it is determined that the line has a defect, the defect detection device is set to a fusing mode. A first probe is used to apply a first electrical signal with a first parameter to the line with a defect at a first detection point, which will be difficult with ordinary instruments. The micro defects detected are blown, and the defect detection device is moved to the next line for the same operation. If it is determined that there is no defect in the line or the defect is an open-circuit defect, the defect detection device will not be set to the fusing mode, but the defect detection device will be moved to the next line for the same operation.

前述缺陷熔斷及量測可以針對薄膜電晶體(TFT)玻璃基板910上的不同線路同時進行,以加速檢測時間。 The aforementioned defect fusing and measurement can be performed simultaneously for different circuits on the thin film transistor (TFT) glass substrate 910 to speed up the inspection time.

第一參數、第二參數及第三參數為電壓值或電流值的其中之一。熔斷模式所使用的第一參數,即第一電氣信號之電壓值或電流值高於量測模式所使用的第二 參數,即第二電氣信號之電壓值或電流值。第一參數的高電壓值或高電流值,必須考量不同薄膜電晶體(TFT)玻璃基板910上不同線路的尺寸及其對應的耐受電壓或電流,在不會損害在薄膜電晶體(TFT)玻璃基板910上正常線路的情況下,事先設定以利於檢測作業。 The first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter are one of a voltage value or a current value. The first parameter used in the fuse mode, that is, the voltage or current value of the first electrical signal is higher than the second parameter used in the measurement mode The parameter is the voltage or current value of the second electrical signal. The high voltage value or high current value of the first parameter must consider the size of different circuits on different thin film transistor (TFT) glass substrates 910 and their corresponding withstand voltage or current, so as not to damage the thin film transistor (TFT). In the case of a normal circuit on the glass substrate 910, it is set in advance to facilitate the inspection operation.

The present invention is not limited to contact-type defect measurement. In actual defect detection, non-contact-type defect measurement can also be applied to the present invention.

如果需要對一TFT面板的複數線路同時進行檢偵測時,各複數線路的量測信號可分別使用頻率不同的交流電壓,以避免各複數線路的量測信號彼此互相干擾。 If multiple lines of a TFT panel need to be detected and detected at the same time, the measurement signals of each of the multiple lines can use AC voltages of different frequencies, respectively, to avoid the measurement signals of each of the multiple lines from interfering with each other.

經過前述連續操作,線路的微細缺陷檢測裝置對薄膜電晶體(TFT)玻璃基板的所有線路逐一做缺陷的檢測。由於在第一探針920、第一回路探針930與第二探針921及第二回路探針930’在同時到達各對應的偵測點之後,可隨即同時進行熔斷與量測操作。因此本發明所提出的檢測方法及裝置,可以節省檢測時間及提高檢測效率並利於後續的修補製程。 After the foregoing continuous operation, the circuit's fine defect detection device detects defects of all the circuits of the thin film transistor (TFT) glass substrate one by one.

The results are displayed on the display device 97 and / or transmitted to a central control device (not shown). When it is determined that a defect exists, the line defect detection device immediately blows the defect in a fusing mode, and then the first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are moved to the next line for the next line defect detection.

但若是各該複數線路91不存在缺陷或所存在的缺陷為斷路缺陷915的狀態,在量測模式完成後,線路缺陷檢測裝置不會被設定為熔斷模式,而是將第一探針920、第二探針921與第一回路探針930移至下一個線路以 進行缺陷檢測。 However, if there is no defect in each of the plurality of lines 91 or the existing defect is a disconnection defect 915, after the measurement mode is completed, the line defect detection device will not be set to the fuse mode, but the first probe 920, The second probe 921 and the first loop probe 930 move to the next line to Perform defect inspection.

本發明中的缺陷檢測裝置在第一探針920及第二探針921到達各該複數線路91之特定位置(如第一偵測點911與第二偵測點912)之後,可一次完成缺陷的定位及熔斷作業,因此本發明的缺陷檢測及熔斷可以縮短檢測時間並提高檢測效率。 The defect detection device in the present invention can complete the defect at one time after the first probe 920 and the second probe 921 reach specific positions (such as the first detection point 911 and the second detection point 912) of each of the plurality of lines 91. Positioning and fusing operation, the defect detection and fusing of the present invention can shorten the detection time and improve the detection efficiency.

第九A圖中線路缺陷檢測裝置對各該複數線路91的檢測可使用全線或分段的方式進行。 The detection of each of the plurality of lines 91 by the line defect detection device in FIG. 9A may be performed in a full line or in a segmented manner.

請參閱第九B圖,其為在第九A圖的架構下的另一個較佳實施例。在全線方式下,第一探針920及第二探針921與各該複數線路91的前端(即第一偵測點911及第二偵測點912)分別接觸,而第一回路探針930與各該複數線路91的末端(即第三偵測點913)接觸,因此在量測模式下,第二探針921的第二電氣信號可流過整個各該複數線路91,以偵測整個各該複數線路91上的缺陷。而在熔斷模式下,第一探針920的強制第一電氣信號使得各該複數線路91上的微短路缺陷914被熔斷。 Please refer to FIG. 9B, which is another preferred embodiment under the structure of FIG. 9A. In the full line mode, the first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are in contact with the front ends of the plurality of lines 91 (ie, the first detection point 911 and the second detection point 912), and the first loop probe 930 It is in contact with the end of each of the plural lines 91 (ie, the third detection point 913). Therefore, in the measurement mode, the second electrical signal of the second probe 921 can flow through the entire plural lines 91 to detect the entire Defects in each of the plurality of lines 91. In the fuse mode, the forced first electrical signal of the first probe 920 causes the micro short-circuit defects 914 on each of the plurality of lines 91 to be blown.

請參閱第九C圖,其為在第九A圖的架構下的另一個較佳實施例,使用第一探針920及第二探針921以分段方式以檢測複數線路91上微短路缺陷914及斷路缺陷915。在前述第九B圖全線檢測的方式下,若複數線路91上同時存在微短路缺陷914及斷路缺陷915時,由於斷路缺陷915,使得微短路缺陷914無法被檢測出來。 Please refer to FIG. 9C, which is another preferred embodiment under the structure of FIG. 9A. The first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are used to detect micro-short defects on the plurality of lines 91 in a segmented manner. 914 and open circuit defect 915. In the aforementioned full-line detection method of the ninth figure B, if the micro-short defect 914 and the open-circuit defect 915 are simultaneously present on the plurality of lines 91, the micro-short defect 914 cannot be detected due to the open-circuit defect 915.

在分段的方式下,各該複數線路91被劃分為 複數個區段,第一探針920及第一探針921與各該區段的前端(即第一偵測點911及第二偵測點912)接觸,而第一回路探針930與各該區段的末端(即第三偵測點913)接觸。 In a segmented manner, each of the plural lines 91 is divided into A plurality of sections, the first probe 920 and the first probe 921 are in contact with the front end of each section (ie, the first detection point 911 and the second detection point 912), and the first loop probe 930 is in contact with each The end of the segment (ie, the third detection point 913) touches.

因此在熔斷模式下,第一探針920的第一電氣信號可流過整個區段,熔斷第一偵測點911與第三偵測點913之間微斷的微短路缺陷914。在量測模式下,第二探針921的第二電氣信號可流過整個區段,以偵測區段中第二偵測點912與第三偵測點913之間的微短路缺陷914是否存在。 Therefore, in the fuse mode, the first electrical signal of the first probe 920 can flow through the entire section, and the micro-short defect 914 that is slightly broken between the first detection point 911 and the third detection point 913 is fused. In the measurement mode, the second electrical signal of the second probe 921 can flow through the entire section to detect whether the micro-short defect 914 between the second detection point 912 and the third detection point 913 in the section is presence.

在完成前述對各該複數線路91的某一區段缺陷的量測及熔斷處理後,第一探針920、第二探針921及回路探針930即沿著各該複數線路91而移至各該複數線路91的下一個區段,而在完成前述對各該複數線路91的所有區段的量測及熔斷處理後,第一探針920、第二探針921及回路探針930即被移至下一個複數線路91,以進行下一個量測及熔斷處理的步驟。 After completing the foregoing measurement and fusing processing of defects in a certain section of each of the plurality of lines 91, the first probe 920, the second probe 921, and the loop probe 930 are moved along each of the plurality of lines 91 to The next section of each of the plurality of lines 91, and after completing the measurement and fusing processing of all the sections of each of the plurality of lines 91, the first probe 920, the second probe 921, and the loop probe 930 are It is moved to the next plural line 91 for the next measurement and fusing processing steps.

在前述分段的檢測方式下,線路缺陷位置可以區段為單位標示出來,而得到更精確的缺陷定位,有利於後續修補製程。另外在對線路缺陷的熔斷處理時,強制信號也被局限在缺陷所在的區段內,而能避免其流過其他沒有缺陷的區段所造成的傷害。尤其在一線路同時存在多個缺陷時,分段方式能將各該缺陷一一標示在各該區段的位置,並確保各區段的各該缺陷能被熔斷。 In the aforementioned segmented detection method, the position of the line defect can be marked in units of sections, and more accurate defect positioning can be obtained, which is beneficial to the subsequent repair process. In addition, during the fusing process of the line defect, the forced signal is also limited to the section where the defect is located, and it can avoid the damage caused by flowing through other non-defective sections. Especially when there are multiple defects on a line at the same time, the segmentation method can mark each of the defects at the position of each section and ensure that each of the defects in each section can be blown.

The difference is that the detection object is a conductive foreign object 916 that spans between the plural lines 91 and the adjacent plural lines 91 '. In addition, the first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are in contact with the plurality of lines 91 at the first detection point 911 and the second detection point 912, respectively, and the first loop probe 930 is in contact with the plurality of lines 91 'at the third Detection point 913.

在使用接觸式與非接觸式混合檢測方式時,第一回路探針930改為非接觸式感應頭,而另外在複數線路91’接近第一回路探針930的一端,與一接地探針(未示出)接觸。 When using a contact and non-contact hybrid detection method, the first loop probe 930 is changed to a non-contact induction head, and in addition, one end of the plurality of lines 91 'near the first loop probe 930 is connected to a ground probe ( (Not shown) contact.

在第一種情況下,線路缺陷檢測裝置先設定為熔斷模式,將橫跨於複數線路91的第一偵測點911與其相鄰複數線路91’的第三偵測點913之間的導電異物916熔斷後,線路缺陷檢測裝置隨即以量測模式確定缺陷已經被熔斷,然後第一探針920及第二探針921被移至下一個線路進行下一個線路缺陷檢測。 In the first case, the line defect detection device is first set to a fusing mode, and a conductive foreign object spanning between the first detection point 911 of the plurality of lines 91 and the third detection point 913 of the adjacent plurality of lines 91 '. After the 916 is blown, the line defect detection device then determines in a measurement mode that the defect has been blown, and then the first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are moved to the next line for the next line defect detection.

在第二種情況下,線路缺陷檢測裝置先設定為量測模式,控制及比對裝置96將接收到的第三電氣信號轉換為數值,並與各該複數線路91’所對應之參考電氣信 號的轉換數值加以比對,並將其間差異值與事先設定的門檻值比較,以確定各該複數線路91的第一偵測點911與各該複數線路91’的第三偵測點913之間是否有導電異物916存在,其結果並顯示在顯示裝置97及/或傳至中央控制裝置(未示出)。當確定導電異物916存在時,線路缺陷檢測裝置隨即以熔斷模式將導電異物916熔斷,然後第一探針920及第二探針921被移至下一個線路進行下一個線路缺陷檢測。 In the second case, the line defect detection device is first set to a measurement mode, and the control and comparison device 96 converts the received third electrical signal into a value, and the reference electrical signal corresponding to each of the plural lines 91 ' The conversion value of the number is compared, and the difference value is compared with a preset threshold value to determine the first detection point 911 of each of the plurality of lines 91 and the third detection point 913 of each of the plurality of lines 91 '. Whether a conductive foreign object 916 is present, and the result is displayed on the display device 97 and / or transmitted to a central control device (not shown). When it is determined that the conductive foreign body 916 exists, the line defect detection device immediately blows the conductive foreign body 916 in a fusing mode, and then the first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are moved to the next line for the next line defect detection.

請參閱第十B圖,在全線方式下,第一探針920及第二探針921分別與各該複數線路91的前端的第一偵測點911及第二偵測點912接觸,而第一回路探針930與各該複數線路91的相鄰的複數線路91’末端的第三偵測點913接觸。 Please refer to FIG. 10B.

The primary circuit probe 930 is in contact with the third detection point 913 at the end of each of the plurality of lines 91 adjacent to the plurality of lines 91 ′.

在量測模式時,第二電氣信號可透過第一探針920,在流過複數線路91的部份段後,經過導電異物916的缺陷,再流到相鄰的複數線路91’的部份段直至第一回路探針930,使得橫跨於複數線路91及91’位於第一偵測點911與第三偵測點913之間的導電異物916可以被檢測到。 In the measurement mode, the second electrical signal can pass through the first probe 920, flow through a part of the plurality of lines 91, and then pass through the defect of the conductive foreign matter 916, and then flow to the adjacent plurality of lines 91 ' Segment up to the first loop probe 930, so that conductive foreign objects 916 spanning the plurality of lines 91 and 91 'and located between the first detection point 911 and the third detection point 913 can be detected.

在熔斷模式時,強制的第一電氣信號透過第一探針920,經過複數線路91的部份段、導電異物916及複數線路91’的部份段,而後到達第一回路探針930的路徑,使得路徑上的導電異物916被熔斷。 In the fuse mode, the forced first electrical signal passes through the first probe 920, passes through a part of the complex line 91, conductive foreign matter 916, and a part of the complex line 91 ', and then reaches the path of the first loop probe 930 , So that the conductive foreign matter 916 on the path is blown.

請參閱第十C圖,其為本發明另一較佳實施例之分段檢測方式。在分段檢測方式下,各該複數線路91 及與其相鄰的複數線路91’都被劃分為複數個區段,各該複數線路91的區段及與其相鄰的複數線路91’的區段一一對應。第一探針920及第二探針921分別與各該複數線路91的各該區段的前端(即第一偵測點911及第二偵測點912)分別接觸,而第一回路探針930與各該複數線路91所對應的各該複數線路91’的區段的末端(即第三偵測點913)接觸。 Please refer to FIG. 10C, which is a segment detection method according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the segment detection mode, each of the plural lines 91 And the plural lines 91 'adjacent thereto are divided into a plurality of sections, and each of the plural lines 91 and the adjacent plural lines 91' have a one-to-one correspondence. The first probe 920 and the second probe 921 are respectively in contact with the front end of each segment of the plurality of lines 91 (ie, the first detection point 911 and the second detection point 912), and the first loop probe 930 is in contact with the end (ie, the third detection point 913) of the section of each of the plurality of lines 91 'corresponding to each of the plurality of lines 91.

在實際應用上,針對陣列式排列的複數線路,例如TFT面板的線路,其線路間的距離都相同,因此在區段檢測的應用時,第一探針920、第二探針931可以整合在同一個探針治具中,並使配置在整合治具中的第一探 針920與第二探針931之間的距離,配合TFT面板的線路間距作適當的安排,第一探針920可儘量靠近第二探針931,以降低線路區段的長度,提高量測的精度。 In practical applications, for array-shaped plural lines, such as TFT panel lines, the distances between the lines are the same. Therefore, in the application of segment detection, the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 can be integrated in The same probe fixture, and the first probe configured in the integrated fixture The distance between the pin 920 and the second probe 931 is appropriately arranged in accordance with the line spacing of the TFT panel.

在第一種情況下,線路缺陷檢測裝置先設定為熔斷模式,第一探針920將複數線路91上第一偵測點911與第三偵測點912之間的缺陷熔斷後,線路缺陷檢測裝置隨即在量測模式下,經由第二探針931所接收到的電氣信號確定缺陷已經被熔斷,然後第一探針920及第二探針931被移至下一個線路進行下一個線路缺陷檢測。 In the first case, the line defect detection device is first set to a fuse mode, and the first probe 920 fuses a defect between the first detection point 911 and the third detection point 912 on the plurality of lines 91, and then the line defect detection In the measurement mode, the device then determines that the defect has been blown through the electrical signal received by the second probe 931, and then the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 are moved to the next line for the next line defect detection. .

在第二種情況下,線路缺陷檢測裝置先設定為量測模式,控制及比對裝置96將經由第二探針931所接收到的電氣信號轉換為數值,並與各該複數線路91’所對應之參考電氣信號的轉換數值加以比對,並將其間差異值與事先設定的門檻值比較,以確定各該複數線路91的第一偵測點911與第三偵測點913之間是否有缺陷存在,其結果並顯示在顯示裝置97及/或傳至中央控制裝置(未示出)。當確定缺陷存在時,線路缺陷檢測裝置隨即在熔斷模式由第一探針920將缺陷熔斷,然後第一探針920及第二探針931被移至下一個線路進行下一個線路缺陷檢測。 In the second case, the line defect detection device is first set to the measurement mode, and the control and comparison device 96 converts the electrical signal received through the second probe 931 into a value, and compares it with each of the plurality of lines 91 ′.

請參閱第十二B圖,在全線方式下,第一探針920與各該複數線路91的的前端(即第一偵測點911)接觸,而第二探針931與各該複數線路91相鄰的該複數線路 91’的末端(即第二偵測點912)接觸,因此在量測模式下,第二電氣信號可透過第一探針920流過跨在各該相鄰之複數線路91上的第一偵測點911與複數線路91’上的第二偵測點912之間的導電異物916之後,到達第二探針931所接觸的第二偵測點912,使導電異物916被量測到。而在熔斷模式下,第一電氣信號也透過第一探針920流過與量測的第二電氣信號相同的路徑,使跨在各該相鄰之複數線路91與91’的導電異物916被熔斷。 Please refer to FIG. 12B. In the full line mode, the first probe 920 is in contact with the front end of each of the plurality of lines 91 (ie, the first detection point 911), and the second probe 931 is in contact with each of the plurality of lines 91. Adjacent plural lines The end of 91 '(ie, the second detection point 912) is in contact, so in the measurement mode, the second electrical signal can flow through the first probe across the adjacent plural lines 91 through the first probe 920. After the conductive foreign object 916 between the measurement point 911 and the second detection point 912 on the plurality of lines 91 ', it reaches the second detection point 912 contacted by the second probe 931, so that the conductive foreign object 916 is measured. In the fuse mode, the first electrical signal also flows through the first probe 920 through the same path as the measured second electrical signal, so that the conductive foreign matter 916 across each of the adjacent plural lines 91 and 91 'is removed. Fuse.

請參閱第十二C圖,在分段的方式下,第一探針920及與各該複數線路91的各該區段前端(即第一偵測點911)接觸,而第二探針931與各該複數線路91相鄰的該複數線路91’的各該區段的末端(即第二偵測點912)接觸,因此在量測模式下,第二電氣信號可透過第一探針920流過跨在各該相鄰之複數線路91上的第一偵測點911與複數線路91’上的第二偵測點912之間的導電異物916之後,到達第二探針931所接觸的第二偵測點912,使各該區段之間的導電異物916被量測到。而在熔斷模式下,第一電氣信號也透過第一探針920經由與量測的二電氣信號相同的路徑使跨在各該相鄰之複數線路91與91’的區段之間導電異物916被熔斷。 Please refer to FIG. 12C. In the segmented manner, the first probe 920 is in contact with the front end of each section of the plurality of lines 91 (ie, the first detection point 911), and the second probe 931 The end of each segment of the plurality of lines 91 ′ adjacent to each of the plurality of lines 91 (ie, the second detection point 912) is in contact, so that in the measurement mode, the second electrical signal can pass through the first probe 920 After passing through the conductive foreign matter 916 between the first detection point 911 on each of the adjacent plural lines 91 and the second detection point 912 on the plural lines 91 ', it reaches the contact made by the second probe 931 The second detection point 912 enables the conductive foreign matter 916 between the respective sections to be measured. In the fuse mode, the first electrical signal also passes through the first probe 920 through the same path as the measured two electrical signals to make a conductive foreign object 916 across each of the adjacent plural lines 91 and 91 '. Is blown.

在前述的實施例中,量測信號產生裝置952所產生的第二電氣信號基本上為直流電壓,根據受測的線路缺陷之狀態,第二電氣信號在流過線路缺陷後,形成電壓值及/或電流值與正常線路不同的第三電氣信號。如果需 要對一TFT面板的複數線路以複數個探針組(即第一探針920、第二探針921/931及第一回路探針930、第二回路探針930’的組合)同時進行檢偵測時,各探針組的複數第二電氣信號可分別使用頻率不同的交流電壓,以避免各探針組的複數第二電氣信號彼此互相干擾,而接收裝置952則以各個探針組所對應的不同頻率的濾波器,將所接收來自不同線路所分別形成的複數第三電氣信號加以分離,以便作後續的比較分析。 In the foregoing embodiment, the second electrical signal generated by the measurement signal generating device 952 is basically a DC voltage. According to the state of the measured line defect, the second electrical signal forms a voltage value and And / or a third electrical signal having a current value different from a normal line. If needed The multiple lines of a TFT panel should be inspected simultaneously with multiple probe sets (i.e., the combination of the first probe 920, the second probe 921/931, and the first loop probe 930, the second loop probe 930 '). During detection, the plurality of second electrical signals of each probe group may use AC voltages of different frequencies, respectively, to avoid the plurality of second electrical signals of each probe group from interfering with each other, and the receiving device 952 uses each of the probe groups. Corresponding filters of different frequencies separate the complex third electrical signals received from different lines for subsequent comparison and analysis.

另外,在偵測跨線缺陷時,導電異物916會使複數線路91上的第一偵測點911與複數線路91’上的第三偵測點913(請參考第10B圖)或第二偵測點912(請參考第12B圖)形成一導電的通路,在全線式的檢測方式下,該通路的長度至少為受測線路的長度,導電異物916可能存在於該通路上的複數線路91與複數線路91’之間的任何位置,因此會使難以準確的定位。為了精確定位導電異物916,應選擇區段式檢測,使該通路長度局限在區段的長度內,而且第二探針921與第二回路探針930’(請參考第10C圖)以及第一探針920與第二探針931(請參考第12C圖)分別配置在複數線路91與複數線路91’上相同的相對位置,以更準確的確定導電異物916的位置。 In addition, when detecting cross-line defects, conductive foreign matter 916 will cause the first detection point 911 on the multiple line 91 and the third detection point 913 on the multiple line 91 '(please refer to FIG. 10B) or the second detection point. The measuring point 912 (refer to FIG. 12B) forms a conductive path. In the full-line detection mode, the length of the path is at least the length of the circuit under test. Conductive foreign objects 916 may exist in the multiple lines 91 and Any position between the plurality of lines 91 ', thus making accurate positioning difficult. In order to accurately locate the conductive foreign object 916, segment detection should be selected so that the path length is limited to the length of the segment, and the second probe 921 and the second loop probe 930 '(please refer to FIG. 10C) and the first The probe 920 and the second probe 931 (please refer to FIG. 12C) are respectively disposed at the same relative positions on the complex line 91 and the complex line 91 'to more accurately determine the position of the conductive foreign body 916.

在前述配置的方式下,由於第二探針921與第二回路探針930’及第一探針920與第二探針931在遠離導電異物916時回路電阻較高,而當第二探針921與第二回路探針930’及第一探針920與第二探針931在接近導電異物 916時回路電阻值較低,因此可以由第三電氣信號的電流值或是由電壓值及電流值所導出的電阻值,來判斷導電異物的位置。具體而言,當移動第二探針921與第二回路探針930’及第一探針920與第二探針931,以改變其分別接觸受測複數線路91與91’的位置時,如果出現電流值或電阻值由高變低然後變高的方式,表示第二探針921與第二回路探針930’及第一探針920與第二探針931其分別接觸受測複數線路91與91’的位置,是先朝向導電異物接近而後遠離,因此可判斷導電異物的位置是在當第三電氣信號的電流值或電阻值最低時,其所對應的第二探針921與第二回路探針930’及第一探針920與第二探針931複數線路91在複數線路91’的位置之間。 In the foregoing configuration mode, since the second probe 921 and the second loop probe 930 'and the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 are far away from the conductive foreign matter 916, the loop resistance is high, and when the second probe 921 and the second loop probe 930 'and the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 are approaching a conductive foreign body At 916, the loop resistance value is low, so the position of the conductive foreign body can be judged by the current value of the third electrical signal or the resistance value derived from the voltage value and the current value. Specifically, when the second probe 921 and the second loop probe 930 'and the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 are moved to change the positions where they contact the tested plural lines 91 and 91', respectively, if The appearance of the current value or resistance value changing from high to low and then high indicates that the second probe 921 and the second loop probe 930 'and the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 are in contact with the complex circuit 91 to be tested, respectively. The position of 91 'is close to the conductive foreign object first and then away. Therefore, it can be determined that the position of the conductive foreign object is when the third electrical signal has the lowest current value or resistance value, and the corresponding second probe 921 and second The loop probe 930 ′, the first probe 920 and the second probe 931 are located between the plurality of lines 91 ′.
