Description

  The present invention relates to a substrate surface displacement measuring device that irradiates light on the surface of an object to be measured by an optical sensor, receives reflected light from the surface, and measures the displacement in the height direction of the surface of the object to be measured in a non-contact manner. About. In particular, when measuring the object to be measured or the optical sensor by moving it with the driving mechanism and sequentially changing the irradiation position on the surface of the object to be measured, even if the speed of the driving mechanism changes, measurement data is acquired at a constant distance interval. Thus, it relates to a technique for measuring displacement.

  As a general substrate surface displacement measuring apparatus, an apparatus that measures the displacement of the target surface of a measurement object based on the principle of triangulation is known. In this case, the relative movement by the object to be measured or the optical sensor is often performed by a procedure as shown in FIG. 8, for example. In FIG. 8A, for example, to measure the displacement in the height direction of the surface of the substrate 10 that is the object to be measured, from the top to the bottom in the figure, from left to right and from right to left along the X axis. The optical sensor moves and measures the entire range up to the lower part in the Y-axis direction while repeating. In FIG. 8B, the optical sensor has means for scanning in one direction, and the positions of the substrate 10 and the optical sensor are moved from top to bottom along the Y axis in the figure (hereinafter referred to as “main scanning”). In the middle of the process, optical scanning by the optical sensor (scanning while changing the sensing direction of the optical sensor) is performed in the right direction along the X axis (hereinafter referred to as “sub scanning”).

  The measurement data obtained by such relative movement (or scanning) by the optical sensor or the optical sensor is constant regardless of whether it is vertical or horizontal in the example of the substrate 10 in FIG. Treated as displacement data at distance intervals. The displacement data is processed at a fixed distance interval or a fixed time interval corresponding thereto. The reason is that today, it is convenient to convert an analog signal from an optical sensor into digital data with a clock at a fixed time interval by an A / D conversion means, and to process the data with a CPU or the like. Because there is.

On the other hand, a motor is generally used as a drive mechanism for performing relative movement (excluding optical scanning) by an object to be measured or an optical sensor. Using the time domain in which the motor moves at a constant speed, measurement data at a constant distance interval is acquired.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-241336

  When the object to be measured or the optical sensor is moved by the motor, the motor operates by repeating the start, acceleration rotation, constant speed rotation, deceleration rotation, and stop each time the movement direction is changed. The operation state is shown in FIG. For example, in the acceleration period and the deceleration period in FIG. 9, the moving distance by the motor is not constant with respect to the step of time Δt. If the displacement data of the acceleration period and the deceleration period is processed at a constant distance interval (a constant time interval), an error with respect to the distance is generated. Therefore, conventionally, when obtaining displacement data, a configuration is adopted in which a constant speed period (a period from Δt6 to kΔt in FIG. 9) after the motor acceleration period is set as an effective movement period for obtaining the displacement data. Was.

  However, during this acceleration period and deceleration period, the measurement target range of the object to be measured becomes wider, and the greater the number of times the direction of movement is changed, the greater the total period of this acceleration period and deceleration period, and the shorter the measurement time. Was a difficult factor.

  Hereinafter, as a preferred embodiment of a substrate surface displacement measuring apparatus according to the present invention, a configuration example applied to a printed solder inspection apparatus will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining scanning movement and scanning order (trajectory). FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the motor. 8 and 9 are also described in the “Background Art” column.

  In FIG. 1, a substrate 10 is an example of an object to be measured. Here, a printed board having a wiring pattern, a printed board on which solder is printed, a printed board on which components are mounted, or the like can be inspected. The substrate surface displacement measuring device measures the displacement in the height direction of the surface of these printed boards (if there is a pattern, solder or parts, their height).

  The base 20 carries the substrate 10. As a substrate surface displacement measuring device, the range that can be measured at one time by the optical sensor 31 in the displacement measuring unit 30 is narrow in a point (or line) shape. Therefore, when measuring the surface of the substrate 10 widely, the optical sensor 31 and the substrate 10 It is necessary to measure while moving the relative position. Therefore, at least one of the table 20 or the optical sensor 31 is movable. Here, description will be made assuming that the optical sensor 31 is movable and is controlled by the scanning unit 40 to move.

  There are various types of optical sensors 31. Here, a means for performing so-called triangulation is given. The configuration of the sensor 31 also changes depending on whether the optical sensor 31 performs measurement while moving (scanning) according to the procedure of FIG. 8A or FIG. 8B. In the case of FIG. 8B, the optical sensor needs to perform optical scanning, and in the case of FIG. 8A, it is not.

  When the optical sensor performs measurement while moving the entire measurement range of the substrate 10 as shown in FIG. 8A, for example, the optical sensor 31 is a sensor used in a general triangulation method, A sensor configured to collect light from a light source, irradiate a measurement point on the substrate 10, and collect light from the measurement point on a light receiving unit (consisting of a PSD: Position Sensitive Detector) (not shown). ). For example, a sensor head (optical sensor) described in Japanese Patent No. 3893132 can be used.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a configuration for performing optical scanning while the optical sensor 31 moves as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration of FIG. 2 will be described.

  The configuration of the optical sensor 31 shown in FIG. 2 is mainly configured by a light projecting system that irradiates light mainly on the substrate 10 and a light receiving system that receives reflected light from the substrate 10. The light projecting system is roughly composed of a light source 1, a deflector 4, and a lens 5. The light source 1 is composed of, for example, a laser diode or the like, and emits light (beam) to the deflector 4 via the mirrors 2A and 2B. For example, a polygon mirror is employed as the deflector 4. The polygon mirror has a plurality of mirror surface portions 4a around a disk shape, deflects light incident from the light source 1 by its rotation, and scans a desired scanning target range (SL in FIG. 2). The deflector 4 composed of this polygon mirror scans light in one way (one direction). The lens 5 irradiates the substrate 20 with the light scanned in a fan shape by the deflector 4 in parallel. Here, the light from the light source 1 is divided into two and the polarizer 4 is irradiated with the mirrors 2A and 2B, as described in Japanese Patent No. 4403258, with two mirror surfaces 4a. In order to perform one scanning, when one scanning is performed by one mirror surface portion 4a, the light may be directly input to the polarizer 4 without passing through the mirrors 2A and 2B. The speed or period of the optical scanning is determined by the number of polygon mirrors constituting the polarizer 4, the rotational speed, and the like. The polygon mirror rotates at a constant speed regardless of the movement of the optical sensor 31 by the scanning unit 40.

  The light receiving system includes a condenser lens array 6, an imaging lens 7, and a light receiving unit 8 (PSD). The condenser lens array 6 is made of synthetic resin or glass so that a plurality (six in FIG. 2) of condenser lens portions 6a to 6f having the same focal length f1 (for example, 20 mm) are arranged in a line parallel to the scanning line. Is formed. Each of the condensing lens portions 6a to 6f is a lens that has a surface that is orthogonal to the optical axis formed in a spherical shape, and can narrow down the measurement light evenly around the optical axis. The imaging lens 7 has a diameter larger than the scanning width of the irradiation point S that is the depth limit position of scanning, converges the beam from the condenser lens array 6, and forms an image on the light receiving surface 8 a of the light receiving unit 8. Let

  In FIG. 2, a detection mirror 9a is arranged on the far side of the scan target range SL, which is the end point side of the one-way scan, in order to recognize the end of the scan or the start break. The light that has come to the far side of the scanning target range SL is folded back by the detection mirror 9a and input to the scanning timing detection means 9b including the light receiving means. The scanning timing detection means 9b outputs a pulse each time it receives light from the detection mirror 9a. Since this pulse is the end time of the previous scan and corresponds to the start time of the next scan, it is also a scan timing indicating the scan cycle Ts. This is used later by the data acquisition unit 50a.

  The scanning unit 40 includes movement control means 41 and movement mechanism means 42. The movement control means 41 receives layout information indicating the measurement range of the substrate 10 that is the object to be measured, stored in the design information storage unit 80, and moves mechanism means so that the optical sensor 31 can move or scan the measurement range. 42 is controlled. In this example, the moving mechanism means 42 includes a rotary motor 42a and a transmission mechanism (not shown) configured by a gear or the like that is connected to the optical sensor 31 and transmits the rotational force from the motor 42a. ing. The rotation angle of the motor 42a and the movement amount (movement distance) by which the optical sensor 31 moves by the transmission mechanism are in a linear proportional relationship.

  Further, when moving the optical sensor 31 as shown in FIG. 8A, the motor 42a starts at the left end (right end) in FIG. 8A (starts the movement of one line), and accelerates at a constant speed. , Decelerate, and stop at the right end (left end) (end the movement of one line). When moving the optical sensor 31 as shown in FIG. 8B, the motor 42a starts at the upper end (starts moving) in FIG. 8B, and accelerates, is constant speed, decelerates, and stops at the lower end. Perform the action (to end the movement). That is, the speed of the motor 42a during the movement period changes.

  The displacement measuring unit 30 includes a measuring unit 32 in addition to the optical sensor 31 described above. The measurement unit 32 includes a displacement calculation unit 32a and an A / D conversion unit 32b. The A / D conversion means 32b converts each of the two analog data sequentially output from the PSD 8 (light receiving means) in the signal light sensor 31 into digital data with a clock having a fixed period Tc (the two are A and D). B). Then, the displacement calculating means 32 a calculates displacement data (A−B) / (A + B) based on the digital data A and B, and sends this to the data acquisition unit 50. When the optical sensor 31 adopts the configuration of FIG. 2, the clock signal cycle Tc is acquired at a plurality of points while the light scans the scanning range of FIG. 2 (optical scanning cycle Ts). The period must be commensurate. That is, the optical scanning cycle Ts ≧ n × clock cycle Tc (n is an integer of 2 or more). In other words, n is the number of points of data acquired during the period Ts, and may actually reach 2000 points, for example. The displacement calculation means 32a may be performed by analog calculation using an operational amplifier, and then converted into digital displacement data by the A / D conversion means 32b.

  In such a displacement measuring unit 30, the optical sensor 31 moves in the X direction and the Y direction as shown in FIG. 8A, or the optical sensor 31 moves in the Y direction as shown in FIG. By scanning in the X direction, displacement in the Z-axis direction (height direction) at each position (X, Y) on the substrate 10 can be acquired. That is, three-dimensional displacement data can be obtained.

  The data acquisition unit 50a uses digital displacement data received from the displacement measurement unit 32 based on the movement amount when the moving mechanism means 42 moves, that is, based on the rotation angle (corresponding to the movement amount) at which the motor 42a rotates. Alternatively, it is acquired at predetermined intervals of the movement amount based on the movement amount (distance) by which the motor 42a has moved the optical sensor 31. That is, only the displacement data corresponding to the predetermined interval of the movement amount is extracted (other displacement data is thinned out). Hereinafter, based on FIGS. 3 and 4 showing the configuration of the data acquisition unit 50a, the details will be described in the following (1), (2), and (3). The following examples (1) and (2) are mainly the case where the movement and scanning of the optical sensor 31 are the same as in FIG. 8B, and (3) is the same as FIG. 8A. This is a case where the same operation is performed.

  (1) In the configuration of FIG. 3, the optical sensor 31 performs main scanning (moving) as shown in FIG. 5A (similar to FIG. 8B), and sub-scanning (optical scanning) in the main scanning process. ) Will be described. In FIG. 3, blocks having the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 have the same functions.

  FIG. 5A shows the moving direction of the optical sensor 31 (main scanning direction: horizontal direction of FIG. 5A) and its own optical scanning direction (sub-scanning direction: vertical direction of FIG. 5A). . The measuring means 32 converts analog data obtained by measurement by the optical sensor 31 into digital data having a predetermined period Tc by the A / D conversion means 32b, and the displacement calculated by the displacement calculating means 32a based on the digital data. The data is sent to the extraction means 53 of the data acquisition unit 50a. The timing that the A / D converter 32b sends as digital displacement data with a clock is a unique timing regardless of the operation timing on the extraction means 53 side. The displacement data timing (= clock timing) is shown in FIGS. FIGS. 5B and 5B are pulses showing the optical scanning cycle timing Ts detected by the scanning timing detection means 9b shown in FIG. One pulse interval of this cycle timing is one cycle Ts of optical scanning. FIGS. 5B and 5B and FIG. 5B and FIG. 5B show that a plurality of (n solid) displacement data are acquired within one optical scanning cycle.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 3, the data acquisition unit 50 a includes an encoder 51, an interval detection counter, and an extraction unit 53. The encoder 51 (corresponding to the “movement data detecting means” described in the claims) detects a signal corresponding to the rotation angle (corresponding to the “movement amount” described in the claims) rotated by the motor 42a of the moving mechanism means 42. To do. The encoder 51 is attached to the rotation shaft of the motor 42a, and may directly detect the rotation angle as the amount of movement, or is provided in a transmission mechanism in the middle of transmitting the rotational force of the motor 42a to the linear motion of the optical sensor 42a. May be. A commercially available motor equipped with a high-resolution encoder can also be used.

The interval detection counter 52 receives the movement amount output from the encoder 51 and detects a change in the movement amount at every predetermined interval (ΔL). That is, the movement amount is counted, and a pulse is output every time the movement amount changes by a certain amount. Since the rotation angle of the motor 42a, that is, the movement amount output from the encoder 51 and the movement amount (movement distance) of the optical sensor 31 correspond to linear, as shown in FIG. The counter 52 detects that the movement distance of the optical sensor 31 changes by a fixed movement distance interval ΔL (FIG. 5 (b) (d)), and outputs a pulse when it is detected (FIG. 5 (b)). (C)). The time interval Tw of the pulses output by the interval detection counter 52 is such that, as described above, the motor 42a performs a series of operations of starting, accelerating, constant speed, decelerating, and stopping, and its speed changes. (Δt1, Δt2,... In FIGS. 5B and 5C). The time interval Tw is the smallest value (hereinafter referred to as “minTw”) when the motor 42a is rotating at a constant speed, and is constant during the constant speed period. Δt4 in FIGS. 5B and 5C corresponds to minTw. The minimum time interval minTw has the following magnitude relationship with the optical scanning period Ts (for example, 250 μs) and the clock period Tc (for example, 20 μs).
Minimum time interval minTw ≧ m × period Ts of optical scanning (m is an integer of 2 or more),
Optical scanning period Ts ≧ n × clock period Tc (n is an integer of 2 or more)
It should be noted that operating conditions such as a motor 42a, a polygon mirror constituting the polarizer 4, a clock generator for generating a clock, and the like are set so that this relationship is established in advance.

  The interval address counter 53c counts pulses indicating the movement distance ΔL at a constant interval output from the interval detection counter 52, and outputs it as address information to the data storage means 53d (see FIGS. 5B and 5E). ).

  The gate unit 53a extracts one cycle from the cycle timing Ts from the scanning timing detection unit 9b that enters the time interval Tw of the pulse output by the interval detection counter 52, and outputs a signal indicating the one cycle as a clock address. Output to the counter 53b. This one period may be any of m period timings Ts that fall within the time interval Tw. For example, the gate unit 53 includes a counter, and the counter receives a pulse from the interval detection counter 52 to make it start counting, and then the second pulse of the cycle timing Ts from the scanning timing detection unit 9b. If the operation of counting (one cycle) is completed and the operation for waiting for the next pulse from the interval detection counter 52 is repeated, the cycle immediately after receiving the pulse from the interval detection counter 52 One period of the timing Ts can be detected (see FIG. 5B and FIG. 5F).

  The clock address counter 53b counts only clocks within one period of the cycle timing Ts extracted from the cycle timing by the gate unit 53a from the clocks, and sends it to the data storage unit 53d as address information. FIGS. 5B and 5F show clocks within one period extracted by the gate means 53a from the period timing. FIGS. 5B and 5F also show the timing of displacement data corresponding to the clock.

  The data storage means 53d of the extracting means 53 uses only the displacement data corresponding to the address information from the interval address counter 53c and the address information from the clock address counter 53b, among the displacement data received from the measuring means 32, as those address information. Memorize the address. Displacement data corresponding to the timing shown in FIGS. 5B and 5F is stored. As the extracting means 53, the displacement data stored in the data storage means 53d is the clock number (FIG. 5) at which optical scan (the position of the main scanning in FIG. 5A, that is, the horizontal position). It suffices if the displacement data corresponding to the sub-scanning position in (a), that is, the vertical position) can be specified. That is, it is only necessary to be able to store the displacement data at which position of the substrate 10 so as to be specified. Therefore, for example, the address information from the interval address counter 53c is the upper bit of the acquired data, the address information from the clock address counter 53b is the middle bit of the acquired data, and the corresponding displacement data is the lower bit of the acquired data. The acquired data may be stored so that it can be read sequentially.

  (2) In the configuration of FIG. 4, the optical sensor 31 performs main scanning (moving) as shown in FIG. 5A (similar to FIG. 8B), and sub-scanning (optical scanning) in the course of the main scanning. ) Will be described. However, in the case of (1) above, the displacement data to be extracted is extracted by narrowing down the target in front of the data storage means 53d. However, in the case of (2), all data is stored in the data storage means 54e. It is intended to extract (thinning out) displacement data corresponding to the movement interval necessary for storing and reading out the displacement data. The blocks having the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 have the same functions. The description will focus on the data extraction means 54 in the data acquisition unit 50b, which is different from FIG.

  The time interval, the minimum time interval minTw, the optical scanning cycle Ts, the clock cycle Tc, and their relationship are also the same as in (1).

  The clock address counter 53b in FIG. 4 sets a counter value and counts the clock every time it receives a cycle timing. That is, each time sub-scanning is performed, the clock is counted to generate displacement data address information (1, 2, 3,..., N−1, n).

  The writing unit 54ex temporarily stores the displacement data of the time corresponding to the address determined by the cycle timing, the address information output from the clock address counter 53b, and the address information output from the interval address counter 53c, with the cycle timing as a reference. The information is stored in the means 54ey. The diagram showing it in a tabular form is the write data shown in FIG. It may be stored in an address determined by each address information, but displacement data, cycle timing, and each address information may be stored in association with each other. In FIG. 6, as the motor 42a increases the acceleration and becomes constant speed, the interval address changes from the longer period to the shorter period and becomes constant.

  The reading unit 54ez is in a predetermined instruction from the next-stage image generation unit 60, for example, the second cycle timing in the same value range among the cycle timings in which the interval address is in the same value range. In response to the instruction to acquire the displacement data of the clock address, the displacement data of the instruction is read. For example, the displacement data (in other words, this is valid data) in the column marked with read data ○ in FIG. 6 is read and sent to the image generating means 60.

  As shown by a dotted line in FIG. 4, without using the interval address counter 53c, the value of the interval detection counter 52 or the value of the encoder 51 is input to the writing means 54ex to detect the interval as shown in FIG. The value of the counter 52 or the value of the encoder 51 may be stored together with the cycle timing and displacement data in the corresponding time. In this case, since the absolute value of the encoder 51 is stored, in the read instruction, for example, in FIG. 7, the displacement data at the second cycle timing after the interval detection counter value exceeds every tenth is shown. Any instruction can be used. That is, in FIG. 6, the reading interval information is also stored on the writing side, but in FIG. 7, the reading interval information is not stored but specified on the instruction side.

(3) When the optical sensor 31 moves and measures displacement in the same manner as in FIG. 8 (a) In this case, since there is no optical scanning in the optical sensor 31, the cycle timing in FIG. No. Therefore, for example, in the configuration of FIG. 4, the output of the interval detection counter 52 is sent to the clock address counter 53b. The clock address counter 53b resets and counts the displacement data from the measuring means 32 every time the output of the interval detection counter 52 is received.

  Then, the writing means 54ex causes the temporary storage means 54e to store the displacement data at the timing corresponding to the address determined by the counter value of the clock address counter 53b and the counter value of the interval address counter 53c. In other words, this storage state is a state where there is no term of period timing in each of FIGS. The reading means 54ez has one displacement data after the counter value of the interval address counter 53c changes (in the case of FIG. 6) or after the counter value (output) of the interval detection counter 52 changes (in the case of FIG. 7). May be read in response to an instruction to read In this case, it is only necessary to acquire only one displacement data every time the optical sensor 31 changes by a certain distance interval ΔL.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the image generation means 60 receives or reads out the displacement data acquired by the data acquisition unit 50 (50a, 50b), and positional information (X, Y) when the displacement data is measured. Image data having a height (Z) corresponding to the displacement data is generated at the coordinate position indicated by. By performing this for each coordinate, an image obtained by measuring the shape of the surface of the substrate 10 is represented as three-dimensional image data. In the case of (1) and (2) above, the position information includes the counter value of the interval address counter 53c (X axis in FIG. 5A) and the counter value of the clock address counter 53b (Y in FIG. 5A). Since the first scanning start position and direction by the scanning unit 40 are determined in advance, they can be generated. In the case of the above (3), the displacement acquired by the data acquisition unit is determined if the scanning unit 40 determines the moving direction, order of FIG. 8A, and a certain distance interval when acquiring the displacement data. Data can be generated by plotting data in that order and at regular distance intervals.

  The determination unit 70 determines whether or not the shape of the surface of the substrate 10 is within an allowable range. Since the 3D image data indicating the design (or ideal) surface shape is stored in the design information storage unit 80 as reference data in accordance with the layout of the substrate 10 in advance, the reference data and image generation are performed. The means 60 compares the three-dimensional data created on the basis of the measured values, and determines whether or not the difference is within the allowable value. For example, if the board 10 is a board on which solder is printed, a pass / fail judgment is made for each solder location.

  The user interface 90 includes display control means 91, display means 92, and scanning means 93. The display control unit 91 displays the pass / fail determination result of the substrate 10 on the display unit 93. For example, if the solder location is determined to be unacceptable, the display control unit 91 displays a layout indicating the solder location of the substrate 10 and A recognizable display (color or mark) is made at a location determined to be acceptable.

  Further, the display control means 91 displays a measurement guidance screen to guide and support the operation of the scanning means 93 by the operator.

  As already described above, the design information storage unit 80 stores the dimensions of the substrate 10 that is the object to be measured, the layout that indicates the position of the printed solder, the reference data that is the reference for determination, and the like.

  As described above, according to the present invention, in the displacement data acquisition operation by the optical sensor, the displacement data is acquired regardless of the moving speed of the scanning unit 40, and then the rotation angle (movement amount) of the motor of the scanning unit 40 is acquired. Based on the above, only displacement data at a predetermined distance interval is extracted from the obtained displacement data.
