  • Publication number: 20140055599
    Abstract: An inspection device for inspecting the interior of an overlapped substrate produced by bonding one substrate and another substrate, comprising: a first holding unit configured to hold the rear surface of the overlapped substrate and include a cutout formed to expose a portion of the rear surface of the overlapped substrate when viewed from the top; a second holding unit configured to hold and rotate the overlapped substrate; an infrared irradiator configured to irradiate the rear surface or front surface exposed from the cutout of the overlapped substrate held on the first holding unit with an infrared ray; and an image pickup unit configured to receive the infrared ray emitted from the infrared irradiator and image the overlapped substrate held on the first holding unit in division for each of regions exposed from the cutout.
