The wafer cassette inspection device 1 of this embodiment is suitable for inspecting a cassette body 2 , wherein the cassette body 2 is, for example, a wafer cassette, and the wafer cassette inspection device 1 includes a stand 100 and an image sensing unit 200 , a rotating mechanism 300 and a control unit 400, wherein the rotating mechanism 300 is disposed between the pedestal 100 and the image sensing unit 200, The control unit 400 is, for example, a computer and is electrically connected to the image sensing unit 200 and the rotation mechanism 300 , and the control unit 400 includes an output unit (not shown), wherein the output unit is, for example, a display screen.

請參考圖3及圖4,其中圖3為圖1中的盒體的俯視示意圖,而圖4為承載有正常配置待測物的盒體沿著圖3中A-A剖面的剖視示意圖。詳細而言,本實施例的臺座100適於承載盒體2,而旋轉機構300為一旋轉汽缸,可帶動臺座100自由地平移或旋轉。另一方面,盒體2內配置有複數個待測物3,其中待測物3例如是晶圓片。為了防止待測物3在盒體2內部有不良配置的情況發生,本實施例的晶圓盒檢測裝置1透過影像感測單元200對盒體2內的待測物3進行影像擷取,並將擷取的影像傳送至控制單元400進行影像辨識,再透過輸出單元得到待測物3的配置資訊。 Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , wherein FIG. 3 is a schematic top view of the box body in FIG. 1 , and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the box body carrying the normally configured DUT along the section A-A in FIG. 3 . In detail, the pedestal 100 of this embodiment is suitable for carrying the box body 2 , and the rotating mechanism 300 is a rotating cylinder, which can drive the pedestal 100 to freely translate or rotate. On the other hand, a plurality of objects to be tested 3 are arranged in the box body 2 , wherein the objects to be tested 3 are, for example, wafers. In order to prevent the object to be tested 3 from being improperly arranged inside the box body 2 , the wafer cassette inspection apparatus 1 of the present embodiment captures the image of the object to be tested 3 in the box body 2 through the image sensing unit 200 , and The captured image is sent to the control unit 400 for image recognition, and then the configuration information of the object to be tested 3 is obtained through the output unit.

以下將針對本實施例的晶圓盒檢測方法如何透過晶圓盒檢測裝置1對配置有待測物3的盒體2進行檢測加以說明。首先,工作人員透過人工或機械手臂提取的方式將盒體2配置於臺座100上(步驟S01)。在本實施例中,盒體2是以壓克力等透明材質製成,因此影像感測單元200可直接擷取盒體2內部的待測物3的影像,但本發明對此並不加以限制,在其它可能的實施例中,盒體2也可以使用有色材質或一般可見光無法穿透的材質製成,而影像感測單元200則對應配置可穿透上述盒體2的特殊波長光線(例如X光)進行影像擷取。 The following will describe how the cassette detection method of the present embodiment detects the cassette body 2 on which the object to be tested 3 is arranged through the wafer cassette detection device 1 . First, the worker arranges the box body 2 on the pedestal 100 by manual or robotic extraction (step S01 ). In this embodiment, the box body 2 is made of a transparent material such as acrylic, so the image sensing unit 200 can directly capture the image of the object to be tested 3 inside the box body 2 , but the present invention does not add to this. Restriction, in other possible embodiments, the box body 2 can also be made of a colored material or a material that is impenetrable to general visible light, and the image sensing unit 200 is correspondingly configured with special wavelength light that can penetrate the box body 2 ( such as X-ray) for image capture.

由於晶圓盒在上方以及前方通常配置有機械手臂提取用的提取部元件,為了防止在影像擷取時上述元件遮擋到影像內的辨識特徵,較佳地,盒體2的後部包括一第一角部22,且在將盒體2配置於臺座100上時,配置的工作人員或機械手臂可對盒體2進行方位校正,使盒體2的第一角部22對位於影像感測單元200,此時影像感測單元200擷取包括待測物3的一第一影像(步驟S02),換言 之,第一影像為影像感測單元200透過第一角部22擷取的影像。藉由這樣的配置,不僅可避免第一影像內的特徵受到遮擋,且可同時偵測到待測物3沿相鄰於第一角部22的兩側邊方向的配置情形,從而以較少的影像擷取數量得到足夠的影像辨識資訊。 Since the wafer cassette is usually equipped with extractor elements for robotic arm extraction above and in front of the wafer cassette, in order to prevent the above-mentioned elements from obscuring the identification features in the image during image capture, preferably, the rear of the cassette body 2 includes a first The corner portion 22, and when the box body 2 is arranged on the pedestal 100, the configured staff or the robotic arm can perform azimuth correction on the box body 2, so that the first corner portion 22 of the box body 2 is positioned on the image sensing unit. 200, at this time, the image sensing unit 200 captures a first image including the object to be tested 3 (step S02), in other words In other words, the first image is an image captured by the image sensing unit 200 through the first corner 22 . With such a configuration, not only can the features in the first image be prevented from being blocked, but also the configuration of the object 3 to be tested along the direction of the two sides adjacent to the first corner 22 can be detected at the same time, so that less The number of image captures to obtain enough image recognition information.

為了得到高品質的影像以及良好的對比結果,較佳地,晶圓盒檢測裝置1還包括一發光單元500,其中發光單元500例如是一發光板,且發光單元500用以在影像感測單元200擷取第一影像時提供一光源。當然,若晶圓盒檢測裝置1本身所在的環境為光線充足的地方(例如室外),晶圓盒檢測裝置1也可以不配置發光單元500,而僅透過外界的光線進行影像擷取。 In order to obtain high-quality images and good comparison results, preferably, the wafer cassette inspection device 1 further includes a light-emitting unit 500, wherein the light-emitting unit 500 is, for example, a light-emitting panel, and the light-emitting unit 500 is used for the image sensing unit 200 provides a light source when capturing the first image. Of course, if the environment where the pod inspection apparatus 1 is located is a well-lit place (eg, outdoors), the pod inspection apparatus 1 may not be equipped with the light-emitting unit 500, and only capture images through external light.

之後,控制單元400會驅動旋轉機構300以使盒體2以及影像感測單元200彼此相對旋轉一角度(步驟S03),在本實施例中是將旋轉機構300設置於盒體2上,並以旋轉盒體2的方式進行相對旋轉,且旋轉的角度例如是90度,但在其它可能的實施例中,也可以將旋轉機構300設置於影像感測單元200上,以盒體2固定不動,而影像感測單元200繞盒體2公轉的方式進行相對旋轉,又甚至可讓盒體2或影像感測單元200其中之一滑動一段距離從而產生相對角度差,本發明對此不加以限制。較佳地,盒體2還包括一第二角部24,且控制單元400驅動旋轉機構300的同時使盒體2的第二角部24對位於影像感測單元200,此時影像感測單元200擷取包括待測物3的一第二影像(步驟S04),換言之,第一影像為影像感測單元200透過第二角部24擷取的影像。藉由這樣的配置,可避免第二影像內的特徵受到遮擋,且可同時偵測到獨立於相鄰於第一角部22的兩側邊方向的待測物3配置情形。相似地,上述的發光單元500亦可在影像感測單元200擷取第二影像時提供光源,以使第二影像的品質以及對比得到提昇。 After that, the control unit 400 drives the rotation mechanism 300 to rotate the box body 2 and the image sensing unit 200 by an angle relative to each other (step S03 ). The relative rotation is performed by rotating the box body 2, and the rotation angle is, for example, 90 degrees, but in other possible embodiments, the rotating mechanism 300 can also be arranged on the image sensing unit 200, and the box body 2 is fixed. The image sensing unit 200 revolves around the box body 2 for relative rotation, and even one of the box body 2 or the image sensing unit 200 can slide for a certain distance to generate a relative angle difference, which is not limited in the present invention. Preferably, the box body 2 further includes a second corner portion 24, and the control unit 400 drives the rotating mechanism 300 to make the second corner portion 24 of the box body 2 align with the image sensing unit 200. At this time, the image sensing unit 200 captures a second image including the object to be tested 3 (step S04 ). In other words, the first image is an image captured by the image sensing unit 200 through the second corner 24 . With such a configuration, the features in the second image can be prevented from being blocked, and the configuration of the object to be tested 3 independent of the direction of the two sides adjacent to the first corner 22 can be detected at the same time. Similarly, the above-mentioned light-emitting unit 500 can also provide a light source when the image sensing unit 200 captures the second image, so as to improve the quality and contrast of the second image.

值得一提的是,為了能對盒體2內的待測物3進行更精密的辨識,本實施例的影像感測單元200包括一第一影像感測器210、一第二影像感測器220以及一第三影像感測器230,其中第一影像感測器210、第二影像感測器220以及第三影像感測器230例如是感光耦合元件(charge-coupled device,CCD)相機,且這些影像感測器沿待測物3的排列方向配置。透過這樣的配置,在後續的影像辨識程序中,各個影像感測器可分別擷取不同區域的待測物3的影像,使得單一影像的特徵的解析度更為提昇。 It is worth mentioning that, in order to more precisely identify the object to be tested 3 in the box body 2 , the image sensing unit 200 of this embodiment includes a first image sensor 210 and a second image sensor 220 and a third image sensor 230, wherein the first image sensor 210, the second image sensor 220 and the third image sensor 230 are, for example, charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras, And these image sensors are arranged along the arrangement direction of the objects to be tested 3 . Through such a configuration, in the subsequent image recognition process, each image sensor can capture images of the object 3 under test in different regions, so that the resolution of the features of a single image is further improved.

在影像感測單元200擷取第一影像以及第二影像後,第一影像以及第二影像將會被傳送至控制單元400,而控制單元400接收第一影像以及第二影像,並對第一影像以及第二影像執行一影像辨識程序(步驟S05)。請同時參考圖4及圖5,其中圖5為承載有不良配置待測物的盒體沿著圖3中A-A剖面的剖視示意圖。具體而言,如圖5所示,影像辨識程序會將第一影像以及第二影像中盒體2的內部劃分為複數個區間,在本實施例中例如是劃分為25層,並依據這些區間的影像灰階值分佈與一標準灰階值分佈進行比對,判斷這些待測物的配置資訊,且上述的影像感測器分別擷取這些區間中的部份區間。在本實施例中,以第一影像感測器210偵測第1~8層,第二影像感測器220偵測第9~17層,而第三影像感測器230偵測第18~25層為例。 After the image sensing unit 200 captures the first image and the second image, the first image and the second image will be sent to the control unit 400 , and the control unit 400 receives the first image and the second image, and responds to the first image and the second image. The image and the second image execute an image recognition procedure (step S05). Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 at the same time, wherein FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the box body carrying the poorly configured DUT along the section A-A in FIG. 3 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 , the image recognition program divides the inside of the box 2 in the first image and the second image into a plurality of sections, for example, 25 layers in this embodiment, and according to these sections The gray-scale value distribution of the image is compared with a standard gray-scale value distribution to determine the configuration information of the objects to be tested, and the above-mentioned image sensor respectively captures some of these intervals. In this embodiment, the first image sensor 210 detects the first to eighth layers, the second image sensor 220 detects the ninth to seventeenth layers, and the third image sensor 230 detects the eighteenth to the Take 25 floors as an example.

請參考圖6至圖8,其中圖6為第一影像或第二影像中正常配置情況的待測物的示意圖,圖7為第一影像或第二影像中發生重疊配置情況的待測物的示意圖,而圖8為第一影像或第二影像中發生歪斜配置情況的待測物的示意圖。詳細而言,本實施例的晶圓盒檢測裝置1所檢測待測物3的配置資訊包括待測物3的一正常資訊、一重疊資訊、一空缺資訊以及一歪斜資訊,控制單元400會根 據正常配置的待測物3的影像灰階值分佈,建立一X-Y方向座標系以及一厚度T的閾值,倘若盒體2內的待測物3如圖7所示有兩個待測物重疊在同一層,此時待測物3的影像灰階值的分佈厚度將會超過正常配置的待測物3的厚度T,因此控制單元400可透過影像辨識得知該層的待測物3有重疊的情形發生,並輸出一重疊資訊;相似地,若控制單元400在第一影像以及第二影像的特定區域層未偵測到任何待測物3的灰階值分佈,則可判定該層發生待測物3缺漏的情形,並輸出一空缺資訊;同理,倘若盒體2內的待測物3如圖8所示有歪斜的狀況,此時待測物3的影像灰階值的分佈方向將會與標準的X-Y方向座標系產生偏差,因此控制單元400可透過影像辨識得知該層的待測物3有歪斜的情形發生,並輸出一歪斜資訊。 Please refer to FIGS. 6 to 8 , wherein FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the DUT in the first image or the second image in the normal configuration, and FIG. 7 is the DUT in the first image or the second image in the overlapping configuration. and FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the object to be tested with a skewed arrangement in the first image or the second image. In detail, the configuration information of the object to be tested 3 detected by the wafer cassette inspection apparatus 1 of this embodiment includes a normal information, an overlap information, a vacancy information and a skew information of the object to be tested 3, and the control unit 400 will According to the image grayscale value distribution of the normally configured object to be tested 3, an X-Y direction coordinate system and a threshold of thickness T are established. If the object to be tested 3 in the box body 2 has two overlapping objects as shown in FIG. 7 In the same layer, the distribution thickness of the image grayscale value of the object to be tested 3 at this time will exceed the thickness T of the object to be tested 3 in the normal configuration. Therefore, the control unit 400 can know through image recognition that the object to be tested 3 in this layer has a thickness T. The overlapping situation occurs, and an overlapping information is output; similarly, if the control unit 400 does not detect any grayscale value distribution of the object to be tested 3 in the specific area layer of the first image and the second image, it can determine the layer The situation where the object to be tested 3 is missing occurs, and a vacancy information is output; similarly, if the object to be tested 3 in the box body 2 is skewed as shown in FIG. The distribution direction will deviate from the standard X-Y coordinate system, so the control unit 400 can know that the object 3 under test in the layer is skewed through image recognition, and output skew information.

在上述影像辨識程序執行完畢後,控制單元400將透過輸出單元輸出這些待測物3的配置資訊(步驟S06)。具體而言,當盒體2內的待測物3配置情形如圖5所示時,控制單元400會透過輸出單元輸出例如下表的資訊:

Figure 109131572-A0305-02-0009-1
Figure 109131572-A0305-02-0010-2
After the above-mentioned image recognition program is executed, the control unit 400 will output the configuration information of the objects 3 under test through the output unit (step S06 ). Specifically, when the configuration of the object to be tested 3 in the box body 2 is as shown in FIG. 5 , the control unit 400 will output information such as the following table through the output unit:
Figure 109131572-A0305-02-0009-1
Figure 109131572-A0305-02-0010-2

其中位置一為盒體2的第一角部22對位於影像感測單元200時的位置,而位置二為盒體2的第二角部24對位於影像感測單元200時的位置。藉由控制單元輸出上述配置資訊,檢測流程可有效地自動化從而節省人力,且使用者可快速得知第3層的待測物3有重疊情形、第5層的待測物3有缺漏情形,且第8層的待測物3有歪斜情形,從而快速得知盒體2內待測物3的配置資訊,因此可達到加速流程以及提高檢測良率的效果。 The first position is the position where the first corners 22 of the box body 2 are positioned on the image sensing unit 200 , and the second position is the position where the second corners 24 of the box body 2 are positioned at the image sensing unit 200 . By outputting the above configuration information from the control unit, the detection process can be effectively automated to save manpower, and the user can quickly know that the DUT 3 on the third layer is overlapped and the DUT 3 on the fifth layer is missing. In addition, the object under test 3 on the eighth layer is skewed, so that the configuration information of the object under test 3 in the box body 2 can be quickly obtained, so that the effect of speeding up the process and improving the inspection yield can be achieved.
