  • Publication number: 20240159825
    Abstract: There is provided an LED chuck comprising: a top plate on which an object to be inspected is mounted; an LED array substrate disposed to face the object to be inspected, and provided with a plurality of LEDs for heating the object to be inspected that is mounted on the top plate; a cooling plate disposed on a back side of the LED array substrate; an LED control substrate disposed on a back side of the cooling plate and controlling the plurality of LEDs; and a base plate disposed to surround the LED control substrate. A surface of the cooling plate facing the LED control substrate and a surface of the base plate facing the LED control substrate are formed of a magnetic material.

  • Publication number: 20220191974
    Abstract: A heating device using an LED is provided. The heating device includes a heater for heating a target with LED light, an LED controller for controlling power supplied to the LED such that a temperature of the target is adjusted with the power being in the range where a current thereof does not exceed an allowable current Imax, a correction unit for correcting Imax, and a voltage measurement unit for measuring a voltage of the LED. The correction unit estimates a junction temperature Tjm of the LED when Imax is supplied based on a measurement result by the voltage measurement unit when an estimation current Ie is supplied after Imax is supplied to the LED for correction. When Tjm of the LED when Imax is supplied exceeds Tmax corresponding to Imax, the correction unit corrects Imax.
