Description

本発明の一側面によれば、物体の被検面上の異物を検査する異物検査装置であって、前記被検面に検査光を投光する投光部と、前記投光部により前記検査光が投光されることによって生じる前記異物からの散乱光を受光する受光部とを有し、前記投光部の光軸と前記受光部の光軸とが交わる点が前記被検面とりうる高さ範囲からずれた位置になるように前記投光部と前記受光部が配置されていることを特徴とする異物検査装置が提供される。 According to one aspect of the present invention, it is a foreign matter inspection device that inspects a foreign substance on an object to be inspected, and the inspection is performed by a light projecting unit that projects inspection light onto the surface to be inspected and the light projecting unit. The surface to be inspected has a light receiving portion that receives the scattered light from the foreign matter generated by the light being projected, and the point where the optical axis of the light projecting portion and the optical axis of the light receiving portion intersect is the surface to be inspected. so that at a position deviated from the height range that can be taken, the light receiving unit and the light projecting unit foreign matter inspection apparatus characterized by being arranged is provided.

そこで、実施形態では、投光部25の光軸と受光部26の光軸とが交わる点が被検面とりうる高さ範囲内からずれた位置になるように投光部25と受光部26が配置される。例えば、図9に示されるように、被検面上の投光部25の光軸から外れた領域で、被検面に平行な方向(Y方向)に、光強度の変化が緩やかな領域に受光部26の光軸が位置するように、投光部25と受光部26が配置される。そうすると、図10(A)に示されるように、被検面上の撓み(Z1,Z2)に応じて照明領域が被検面と平行方向(a,b)にずれてしまっても、Y方向の位置A,B,Cの間で被検面上の受光部の光軸上にある光強度は鈍感に(緩やかに)変化する。そのため、図10(B)に示されるように、同じ大きさの異物に対する信号強度のばらつきも小さい。このとき、照明光の強度や異物からの光も小さくなりセンサ上の信号出力は低くなるが、異物の有無の判別に影響がない信号強度が確保されていればよい。照明領域に対する受光部の相対位置を調整する際に発生した、センサ部で検出された異物からの光量の変化は、光源の出力を調整することが可能である。 Therefore, in the embodiment, the optical axis of the light projecting portion 25 intersect point and the optical axis of the light receiving portion 26, so that the position shifted from the height range which can be taken of the test surface, a light projecting portion 25 The light receiving unit 26 is arranged. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, in a region on the test surface deviating from the optical axis of the light projecting unit 25, in a direction parallel to the test surface (Y direction), a region in which the light intensity changes slowly. The light projecting unit 25 and the light receiving unit 26 are arranged so that the optical axis of the light receiving unit 26 is located. Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, even if the illumination region shifts in the direction parallel to the test surface (a, b) according to the deflection (Z1, Z2) on the test surface, the Y direction The light intensity on the optical axis of the light receiving portion on the test surface changes insensitively (slowly) between the positions A, B, and C. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10B, the variation in signal strength with respect to foreign matter of the same size is small. At this time, the intensity of the illumination light and the light from the foreign matter are also reduced, and the signal output on the sensor is lowered, but it is sufficient that the signal strength that does not affect the determination of the presence or absence of the foreign matter is secured. The output of the light source can be adjusted by changing the amount of light from the foreign matter detected by the sensor unit when adjusting the relative position of the light receiving unit with respect to the illumination region.

投光部25と受光部26との相対位置の調整は、投光部25の調整部51もしくは受光部26の調整部52、またはその両方を用いて行うことができる。図11は、投光部25の調整部51を用いて、投光部25を検査駆動方向(Y方向)に調整する例を示している。制御部Cは、投光部25の光軸と受光部26の光軸とが交わる点が被検面とりうる高さ範囲からずれた位置になるように調整部51を制御することができる。図12は、受光部26の調整部52を用いて、受光部26を検査駆動方向(Y方向)に調整する例を示している。制御部Cは、投光部25の光軸と受光部26の光軸とが交わる点が被検面とりうる高さ範囲からずれた位置になるように調整部52を制御することができる。図13は、投光部25の平行平板ガラス24を用いて、投光部25の光軸の位置を調整する例を示している。ここで、投光部25は、図13に示されるように、光路変更部材である平行平板ガラス24の回転角度を調整することにより、被検面へ至る出射光の光路の変更量を調整する調整部24aを含む。制御部Cは、投光部25の光軸と受光部26の光軸とが交わる点が被検面とりうる高さ範囲からずれた位置になるように調整部24aを制御することができる。 The relative position of the light emitting unit 25 and the light receiving unit 26 can be adjusted by using the adjusting unit 51 of the light emitting unit 25, the adjusting unit 52 of the light receiving unit 26, or both. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the light projecting unit 25 is adjusted in the inspection drive direction (Y direction) by using the adjusting unit 51 of the light projecting unit 25. Control unit C, as the point where the optical axis of the light projecting portion 25 and the optical axis of the light receiving portion 26 intersect becomes the position displaced from the height range which can be taken of the test surface, controlling adjusting unit 51 Can be done. FIG. 12 shows an example in which the light receiving unit 26 is adjusted in the inspection driving direction (Y direction) by using the adjusting unit 52 of the light receiving unit 26. Control unit C, as the point where the optical axis of the light projecting portion 25 and the optical axis of the light receiving portion 26 intersect becomes the position displaced from the height range which can be taken of the test surface, controlling adjusting unit 52 Can be done. FIG. 13 shows an example of adjusting the position of the optical axis of the light projecting unit 25 by using the parallel flat glass 24 of the light projecting unit 25. Here, as shown in FIG. 13, the light projecting unit 25 adjusts the amount of change in the optical path of the emitted light reaching the surface to be inspected by adjusting the rotation angle of the parallel flat plate glass 24 which is an optical path changing member. The adjusting unit 24a is included. Control unit C, as the point where the optical axis of the light projecting portion 25 and the optical axis of the light receiving portion 26 intersect becomes the position displaced from the height range which can be taken of the test surface, controlling adjusting unit 24a Can be done.
