  • Patent number: 9383474
    Abstract: A system includes a linear light source configured to emit a detection light beam to the light sensor, a light sensor configured to receive the detection light beam and convert it into a photo sensitive signal, the detection light beam being capable of passing through the substrate; a movement device configured to move the substrate through a detection region, the detection region being a region at which the detection light beam intersects a plane where the substrate is located when the substrate is moved by the movement device; and a processing unit configured to determine whether or not the film layer meets a predetermined requirement by determining whether or not an intensity of the photo sensitive signal generated during a period of time where the substrate is moved through the detection region is within a predetermined range.
