【技术领域】 [Technical Field]
本发明涉及一种液晶显示器的制程设备, 特别是该设备同时具备 玻璃基板线路缺陷检测及以激光修补该线路缺陷的功能以提高产能, 降低不良率及节省无尘室空间。 The invention relates to a process equipment for a liquid crystal display, and in particular, the equipment has the functions of glass substrate circuit defect detection and laser repairing of the circuit defect to improve the productivity, reduce the defect rate and save the clean room space.
【背景技术】 【Background technique】
请参考图 1及图 2, 液晶显示面板于矩阵制程 (Array process)后, 于玻璃基板 10上会形成如矩阵状的金属线路,包括资料线 (即源极线) 11 及扫瞄线 12等, 线与线之间常因制程的不良而发生短路缺陷 (Short defect) 30, 或开路缺陷 (Open defect)20等线路缺陷, 检测此种线路不 良缺陷的制程工站一般习称开路 /短路检测机 (Open/Short Inspection machine), 其检测方式通常可区分为非接触式检测及接触式检测, 非接 触式检测通常包括两个非接触式感测器 13、 14, 其形式可为静电电容 耦合式 (Electrostatic Capacitory Coupling style), 其中一感测器为讯号输 出端,另一感测器为讯号接收端,运作时感测器贴近玻璃基板距离约 100 微米;以玻璃基板源极线 (Source line)的线路缺陷检査为例, 两感测器同 步移动可先检查出线路缺陷点所在的线路缺陷线位置 (line position), 之 后讯号输出端的感测器停留于线路缺陷线位置不动, 讯号接收端感测 器沿着此具有线路缺陷点的线路往讯号输出端感测器移动, 即可侦测 出线路开路缺陷点 20的位置 (如图 1所示);或于侦测出线路缺陷线位置 (line position) j5, 使用一对接触探针 50与玻璃基板上的金属线路接触 垫 40接触, 另外再配合非接触式感测器 13即可检测出线路短路缺陷 点 30的位置 (如图 2所示)。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. After the liquid crystal display panel is subjected to an Array process, metal lines such as data lines (ie, source lines) 11 and scan lines 12 are formed on the glass substrate 10 as a matrix. Short circuit defects (Short defect) 30, or Open defect 20, often occur between lines due to poor manufacturing processes. Process stations that detect such line defects are commonly referred to as open / short detection. (Open / Short Inspection machine), the detection methods can usually be divided into non-contact detection and contact detection, non-contact detection usually includes two non-contact sensors 13, 14, which can be in the form of electrostatic capacitance coupling Electrostatic Capacitory Coupling style, where one sensor is a signal output terminal and the other sensor is a signal receiving terminal. The sensor is close to the glass substrate at a distance of about 100 microns during operation; the source line of the glass substrate is used. As an example, the line defect inspection of the two sensors can be synchronized to check the line position of the line defect point, and then detect the signal output end. Stay at the position of the line defect line, the signal receiving end sensor moves along the line with the line defect point toward the signal output end sensor, and the position of the open circuit defect point 20 can be detected (as shown in Figure 1). (Shown); or when a line defect line position j5 is detected, use a pair of contact probes 50 to contact the metal line contact pads 40 on the glass substrate, and then cooperate with the non-contact sensor 13 to detect The position of the short circuit defect point 30 (as shown in FIG. 2).
在现有的制程顺序中, 开路 /短路检测机所测得的不良品需交由另 一激光修补机来修补金属线与线之间短路不良, 以提高整体制程良率;
而先前经检测机工站检测的资料, 如线路缺陷的位置座标、 线路缺陷 的影像等系先储存于检测机的一记忆单元, 随后将此资料通过网路或 磁片传送至激光修补机, 至于待修的玻璃基板不良品则需另外利用机 械手臂将玻璃基板取出后放置至运输车, 运输车运送至激光修补机后 再由另一机械手臂将玻璃基板取出放置到激光修补机, 玻璃基板于激 光修补机重新进行夹持对位并配合检测机传送过来的资料进行线路缺 陷修补。 In the existing process sequence, the defective product measured by the open / short circuit detector needs to be submitted to another laser repairing machine to repair the short circuit between the metal wire and the wire to improve the overall process yield. The data previously detected by the testing machine station, such as the position coordinates of the line defect, and the image of the line defect, are stored in a memory unit of the testing machine, and then this data is transmitted to the laser repairing machine through the network or magnetic disk. As for the defective glass substrate to be repaired, it is necessary to use a robotic arm to remove the glass substrate and place it on a transportation vehicle. After the transportation vehicle is transported to the laser repairing machine, the glass substrate is taken out and placed on the laser repairing machine by another robotic arm. The substrate is clamped and aligned again in the laser repairing machine, and the line defect is repaired with the data transmitted by the inspection machine.
这样的现有制程下, 线路缺陷检测及激光修补二种动作分属不同 的机台, 基板的载入载出需靠机械手臂及搬运车, 如此不仅费时, 而 且产品制程动线拉长, 徒增产生不良品的风险, 并占用宝贵无尘室空 间, 此外玻璃基板需于两机台分别重新定位夹持, 不仅造成作业工时 延长, 两次定位的座标系亦不同, 造成整体精度下降, 不利于线宽曰 益縮小的趋势, 及线路缺陷检测与激光修补全程自动化的目标。 Under such an existing process, the two actions of line defect detection and laser repair belong to different machines. The loading and unloading of substrates requires a robot arm and a truck. This is not only time consuming, but also the product process line is elongated. It increases the risk of defective products and occupies valuable clean room space. In addition, the glass substrate needs to be repositioned and clamped separately on the two machines, which not only results in prolonged working hours, but also has different coordinate systems for the two positioning, which reduces the overall accuracy. It is not conducive to the trend of shrinking line width and the goal of full automation of line defect detection and laser repair.
另一方面, 请参考图 3, US Pat.5164565公开一种激光修补机台, 其运作方式为基板 10放置并夹持于于 X-Y传动平台 60, 修补线路缺 陷时 X-Y运动平台 60带动基板 10移动, 而激光修补头 70不动, 缺陷 检测机亦常见这样的设计, 然而随着基板面积增大, 对于此两种设备 而言, 这样的设计方式将占据太多空间, 造成设备成本的增加及机台 整体精度的下降而渐不可行, 比较可行的方式是采取基板不动而激光 修补头 70移动, 同样的, 对于线路缺陷检测机的传动设计方式, 比较 可行的方式亦是玻璃基板不动而接触探针 50及非接触式感测器 13、 14 移动。 On the other hand, referring to FIG. 3, US Pat. 5164565 discloses a laser repairing machine. The operation mode is that the substrate 10 is placed and clamped on the XY transmission platform 60. The XY movement platform 60 drives the substrate 10 to move when repairing a line defect. While the laser repair head 70 does not move, this design is also common for defect inspection machines. However, as the area of the substrate increases, for these two types of equipment, this design method will occupy too much space, causing an increase in equipment costs and The overall accuracy of the machine has declined and it is becoming infeasible. The more feasible way is to use a fixed substrate and the laser repair head 70 to move. Similarly, for the transmission design of the line defect detection machine, the more feasible way is to use a glass substrate. The contact probe 50 and the non-contact sensors 13 and 14 move.
因此在这样的相同的设计趋势下, 两种机台之间存在许多相同的 定位及传动构件, 所不同之处, 仅是另外配置的是线路缺陷检测模组 或激光修补模组的不同而己, 因此将两种功能的机台设计为同一机台, 是可行的, 若分设于两种机台, 反而浪费无尘室宝贵空间, 及设备购 置成本的大幅增加。
基于上述现有技术的缺点且为节省制程时间, 本发明人对制程设 备进行广泛研究, 因而完成本发明。 Therefore, under this same design trend, there are many identical positioning and transmission components between the two types of machines. The only difference is that the line defect detection module or the laser repair module is additionally configured. Therefore, it is feasible to design the two functions of the machine as the same machine. If the two machines are separately installed, the valuable space of the clean room is wasted, and the equipment purchase cost increases significantly. Based on the shortcomings of the prior art mentioned above and in order to save process time, the present inventors have conducted extensive research on process equipment and thus completed the present invention.

【具体实施方式】 【detailed description】
本发明的上述目的及其他目的将由下列较佳具体例配合附图详细 说明变得更显而易见。 The above and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the following preferred embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
首先介绍本发明设备的硬体构件, 现在请参见图 4, 为本发明线路 缺陷检测修补设备的立体视图, 包含有机台底座 101, 基板承载台 200, 接触探针检测模组 300, 非接触式检测模组 400及激光修补模组 500;
机台底座 101及机台支撑座 102形成整体机台的主要支撑, 提供 其他构成模组的置放空间, 马达支撑座 103用来支撑并架高马达。 First, the hardware components of the device of the present invention will be introduced. Now referring to FIG. 4, it is a perspective view of a line defect detection and repair device of the present invention, including an organic base 101, a substrate carrier 200, a contact probe detection module 300, and a non-contact type. Detection module 400 and laser repair module 500; The machine base 101 and the machine support base 102 form the main support of the whole machine, and provide a space for placing other modules. The motor support base 103 is used to support and elevate the motor.
基板承载台 200,大体为矩型平板状,用来放置及夹持玻璃基板,, 其材料通常为透明材质如玻璃或压克力所构成, 透明材质可方便于需 要时, 可于下方另外设置光源模组 (未绘于图示), 可对基板进行背面照 光处理, 以增加影像对比。 The substrate carrier 200 is generally a rectangular flat plate for placing and holding a glass substrate. Its material is usually made of a transparent material such as glass or acrylic. The transparent material can be conveniently located when needed. The light source module (not shown in the figure) can be used for back-lighting the substrate to increase image contrast.
请参考图 4、 图 5及图 6, 接触探针检测模组 300, 通常具有两组, 对称配置, 接触探针 305, 置于感测测头 305a内, 用以接触玻璃基板 线路, 以确认基板的不良缺陷处, 该接触探针 305及感测测头 305a系 由垂直运动传动模组 301所带动, 而可在垂直上下方向运动, 该垂直 运动传动模组 301的主要组成元件包含第一底板 301a, 线性滑轨组 301b, 伺服旋转马达 301c, 滚珠导螺杆 301d, 第二底板 301e, 透过线 性滑块 (未绘于图示)与线性滑轨组 301b相连接, 连结板 301f连结第二 底板 301e及探针模组感测器 304;于是透过伺服旋转马达 301c的带动 可使接触探针 305相对玻璃基板做垂直上下的移动。 Please refer to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6. The contact probe detection module 300 usually has two groups, symmetrically arranged, and the contact probes 305 are placed in the sensor head 305 a to contact the glass substrate circuit to confirm. For the defective part of the substrate, the contact probe 305 and the sensing head 305a are driven by the vertical movement transmission module 301 and can move vertically. The main constituent elements of the vertical movement transmission module 301 include the first The bottom plate 301a, the linear slide group 301b, the servo rotary motor 301c, the ball lead screw 301d, and the second bottom plate 301e are connected to the linear slide group 301b through a linear slider (not shown), and the connecting plate 301f is connected to the first The second base plate 301e and the probe module sensor 304; therefore, the contact probe 305 can be moved vertically up and down relative to the glass substrate by the drive of the servo rotation motor 301c.
接触探针 305除需相对基板可上下运动外, 亦需相对基板可进行 水平移动, 一水平运动传动模组 302, 可用来达成此功能, 其主要组成 包括支撑横梁 3021 , 线性滑轨组 3022, 线性滑块组 3023, 及一线性马 达定位传动*** 3024, 其中线性马达定位传动*** 3024的主要组成包 括马达本体 3024a, 动子 3024b, 及相对应的驱动电路*** (未绘于图 示:), 线性马达本体 3024a则又内含线性滑块组 (未绘于图示)、 位置感 测器 (未绘于图示)及马达定子 (未绘于图示)。 一般习称的线性马达主要 可分为线性步进马达, 及线性伺服马达;线性步进马达虽然推力较小, 但可以开路控制方式 (Open-loop control)进行定位控制, 结构较简单, 线性伺服马达, 主要组成元件通常包括成直线状排列由材料为永久磁 铁的马达定子, 位置感测器如光学尺, 滑轨滑块组等支称件, 驱动系 统及硅钢片内置线圈所组成的动子等元件所组成, 动子系与滑轨、 滑
块等支称件连结, 可相对定子滑动, 驱动***透过动子内的线圈输入 电压、 电流等驱动讯号给动子, 并使动子与定子的磁场产生作用力, 驱动动子前进, 并通过位置感测器的回馈讯号, 调整驱动电压或电流 以形成一闭回路定位控制*** (Close-loop control system:)。 The contact probe 305 needs to move up and down with respect to the substrate. It also needs to move horizontally with respect to the substrate. A horizontal motion transmission module 302 can be used to achieve this function. Its main components include a support beam 3021 and a linear slide group 3022. The linear slider group 3023 and a linear motor positioning transmission system 3024, wherein the main components of the linear motor positioning transmission system 3024 include a motor body 3024a, a mover 3024b, and a corresponding driving circuit system (not shown in the figure :), The linear motor body 3024a includes a linear slider group (not shown in the figure), a position sensor (not shown in the figure), and a motor stator (not shown in the figure). Generally known linear motors can be divided into linear stepping motors and linear servo motors. Although linear stepping motors have small thrust, they can be used for open-loop control for positioning control. The structure is simpler and linear servos The main components of a motor usually include a linearly arranged motor stator made of permanent magnets, position sensors such as optical rulers, slide blocks and other supporting parts, a drive system and a mover composed of built-in coils of silicon steel sheets. Composed of other elements, mover system and slide rail, slide Blocks and other scales are connected, which can slide relative to the stator. The drive system sends drive signals to the mover through the coil input voltage and current in the mover, and causes the mover and the stator's magnetic field to generate a force to drive the mover forward. Through the feedback signal from the position sensor, the driving voltage or current is adjusted to form a closed-loop control system (Close-loop control system :).
综上所述, 动子 3024b经由驱动电路***驱动而相对马达本体 3024a移动, 又动子 3024b, 与垂直运动传动模组 301的第一底板 301a 相连结,故整个垂直运动传动模组 301,可被水平运动传动 302所带动, 而使接触探针 305, 相对玻璃基板做水平左右的移动。 In summary, the mover 3024b moves relative to the motor body 3024a through the driving circuit system, and the mover 3024b is connected to the first base plate 301a of the vertical motion transmission module 301. Therefore, the entire vertical motion transmission module 301 can be Driven by the horizontal motion transmission 302, the contact probe 305 moves horizontally to the left and right relative to the glass substrate.
接着, 请参考图 7, 接触探针 305可通过线性马达定位传动*** 303而相对基板前后运动, 该线性马达定位传动*** 303, 对秤配置基 板承载台外侧, 对秤中心大致为基板的中心线, 其中的主要构件, 又 包括马达本体 3031, 动子 3032及其相对应的驱动电路*** (未绘于图 示), 动子 3033及其相对应的驱动电路*** (未绘于图示); 如同前述水 平运动传动模组 302的线性马达定位传动*** 3024的马达本体 3024a, 马达本体 3031的组成亦包括滑轨滑块组 (未绘制于图示)、位置感测器 (未 绘制于图示)及马达定子 (未绘制于图示), 而线性马达定位传动*** 303 与线性马达定位传动*** 3024的不同处在于, 线性马达定位传动*** 303于单一马达本体 3031中连结两个动子 3032以及 3033及其分别相 对应的驱动电路*** (未绘于图示), 而动子 3032、 3033可分别独立受 其驱动电路***驱动, 亦即可分别独立相对马达本体 3031运动, 即一 般业界所称的单轴双载子技术;相较于传统的滚珠导螺杆配合旋转马达 形式的线性传动***, 运用线性马达定位传动***的单轴双载子技术 将大大减少机台所占的面积。 Next, referring to FIG. 7, the contact probe 305 can be moved back and forth relative to the substrate through a linear motor positioning transmission system 303. The linear motor positioning transmission system 303 is configured on the outside of the substrate bearing platform and the center of the scale is approximately the centerline of the substrate. The main components thereof include the motor body 3031, the mover 3032 and its corresponding drive circuit system (not shown in the figure), and the mover 3033 and its corresponding drive circuit system (not shown in the figure); Like the motor body 3024a of the linear motor positioning transmission system 3024 of the horizontal motion transmission module 302, the composition of the motor body 3031 also includes a slide block (not shown in the figure), a position sensor (not shown in the figure) ) And a motor stator (not shown in the figure), and the linear motor positioning transmission system 303 differs from the linear motor positioning transmission system 3024 in that the linear motor positioning transmission system 303 connects two movers 3032 and 3031 in a single motor body 3031 and 3033 and its corresponding driving circuit system (not shown in the figure), and the movers 3032 and 3033 can be driven by them independently. It is driven by the circuit system, that is, it can independently move relative to the motor body 3031, which is the so-called single-axis dual-carrier technology generally known in the industry; compared with the traditional ball screw with a linear motor in the form of a rotary motor, the linear motor is used for positioning and transmission The system's single-axis dual-carrier technology will greatly reduce the area occupied by the machine.
线性马达定位传动*** 303及水平运动传动模组 302, 可透过连 结支撑座 304加以连结, 连结支撑座 304分别连接线性马达定位传动 *** 303的动子 3032、 3033及水平运动传动模组 302的支撑横梁 3021 使线性马达定位传动*** 303能带动整个水平运动传动模组 302前后
运动;综上所述, 接触探针 305可通过探针垂直运动传动模组 301, 水 平运动传动模组 302及线性马达定位传动*** 303而相对玻璃基板上 下前后左右移动, 使接触探针 305能随不同的线路设计状况而能与基 板上的线路保持良好接触, 提供准确的量测品质。 The linear motor positioning transmission system 303 and the horizontal motion transmission module 302 can be connected through a connection support base 304. The connection support base 304 is connected to the movers 3032, 3033 and the horizontal motion transmission module 302 of the linear motor positioning transmission system 303, respectively. The support beam 3021 enables the linear motor positioning transmission system 303 to drive the entire horizontal motion transmission module 302 In summary, the contact probe 305 can be moved up, down, left, and right relative to the glass substrate through the probe vertical movement transmission module 301, horizontal movement transmission module 302, and linear motor positioning transmission system 303, so that the contact probe 305 can It can maintain good contact with the circuit on the substrate according to different circuit design conditions, and provide accurate measurement quality.

The electrostatic capacitance coupling sensor 401 is driven by the telescopic rod 4021 of the actuator 402 to be close to or away from the substrate. The actuator 402 and the linear motor are positioned and driven. The mover 4031 of the system 403 is connected. The linear motor positioning transmission system 403 uses single-axis and dual-carrier technology to make it possible to have two movers and actuators connected to each other. Its main components include a stator 4033, a linear slide 4032, and The linear slider (not shown in the figure), the base 4034, and the linear motor positioning transmission system 403 can move the sensor 401 horizontally to the left and right.
