  • Patent number: 11656181
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus for inspecting a light-emitting diode wafer is provided. The inspection apparatus includes a Z-axis translation stage, a sensing probe, a height measurement module, a carrier, an illumination light source, and a processing device. The sensing probe is integrated with the Z-axis translation stage. The Z-axis translation stage is adapted to drive the sensing probe to move in a Z axis. The sensing probe includes a photoelectric sensor, a beam splitter, and a photoelectric sensing structure. One of the photoelectric sensor of the sensing probe and the height measurement module is adapted to receive a light beam penetrating the beam splitter, and the other one of the photoelectric sensor of the sensing probe and the height measurement module is adapted to receive a light beam reflected by the beam splitter. The carrier is configured to carry the light-emitting diode wafer. The illumination light source is configured to emit an illumination beam to irradiate the light-emitting diode wafer.

  • Publication number: 20230152086
    Abstract: A heterogeneous integration detecting method and a heterogeneous integration detecting apparatus are provided. The heterogeneous integration detecting method includes the following. Under the condition of maintaining the same relative distance between an interference objective lens and a sample, the relative posture of the interference objective lens and the sample is continuously adjusted according to the change of an image of the sample in the field of view of the interference objective lens until a first optical axis of the interference objective lens is determined to be substantially perpendicular to the surface of the sample according to the image. The interference objective lens is replaced with an imaging objective lens and the geometric profile of at least one via of the sample is detected. A second optical axis of the imaging objective lens after replacement overlaps with the first optical axis of the interference objective lens before replacement.
