The system that is used for mapping defective printed circuits
Technical field
The present invention relates to automatic ray inspection system and method field.More particularly, the present invention relates to the System and method for of a kind of PCB of reflection.
Background technology
Automatically ray inspection system uses Flame Image Process and special-purpose algorithm to check the surface of PCB or wafer, to discern this lip-deep defective.
Usually make PCB by making a mode that comprises the veneer of polylith PCB.On said veneer, produce, and accomplish the whole machining process process, cut into PCB to said veneer then.
Can on a veneer, produce a large amount of unit (PCB), wherein, defective may appear in the unit of any number, they is called " discarded unit ".A single defective in one of elementary layer is enough to cause this unit defective.Because process (is not) to carry out on cell level on the plate level, therefore sign is discarded the unit in process, thereby prevents to be very important to any processing of discarded unit and the input on the material.
The present invention both can be used for using the PCB of " superimposed " method to make, and also can be used for using the PCB of " lamination " method to make." superimposed " is a kind ofly wherein to be built directly in each layer than the method in the lower floor, and " lamination " is a kind of each layer of wherein producing respectively, and then through pressure, or lamination compiles these layers and is combined into a PCB.
Therefore, having a kind of method and system that uses the inspection platform to create a discarded unit reflection of each concrete plate, will be useful.
Co-pending, October in 2003 international publication on the 2nd publication No. be the patent " a method for storing layer ' s information of alayers-made object (a kind of method that is used for the layer information of the object that storage of hierarchically makes) " of WO 03/081535 A1; In a preferred embodiment, utilized the present invention.This suggestion relates to a kind of by the mode that makes up, stores and submit the multi-layer information that is used for its combined information form to, " method of the layer information of the object that storage of hierarchically is made ".
To the use that the layer of combination is videoed, the summary information of the discarded unit of defective of whole concrete PCB is provided.The invention of being mentioned " a kind of method that is used for the layer information of the object that storage of hierarchically makes " is defined as the formal representation of multidimensional information (X, Y, J (i)).The invention of being mentioned has also utilized the every (X to whole concrete multidimensional structure; Y) expression of the combined information of position and explanation; Wherein, combined information as a value J who combines by the value J (i) of given layer (because J be to N layer J1, J2 .., Ji ... the combination of Jn).

Embodiment
The present invention is a kind of discarded unit image system and method, is specifically designed to multilayer board that comprises polylith PCB of reflection.
According to the present invention, this system has used the image that is scanned of each layer of a concrete PCB.On each layer, exist the discarded unit that possibly identified.In fact, the image that is scanned is a reflection of one single discarded unit of a simple layer.
This system makes up these reflections; To create a reflection; This reflection has been explained the position of the discarded unit on the PCB that will use these layers production, when having accomplished the production of PCB, can be used for this reflection the further process (for example boring) of this PCB.
When " lamination " method of use is produced PCB, can use an Optimization Software, this Optimization Software is selected a specific layer, to produce a PCB with minimum discarded unit to each layer from a plurality of layers of same type.
With reference to accompanying drawing and appended description, can understand principle and operation better according to system of the present invention.
Now, with reference to accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 has explained the process flow diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the preferred embodiment has been used " lamination " working method.Three layer groups " A " 17 that input will scan in scanning element 18, L1, L2 and L3.Be sent to unit map 19 to image, unit map 19 is that each layer is created reflection.Be sent to an outgoing position " B " to layer 20, and be sent to optimization unit 21 to these reflections.Optimize unit and software 21 decisions (in order to obtain a PCB) the 3rd layer of ground floor that is chosen as PCB of L1, be chosen as the second layer to the ground floor of L2, and be chosen as last one deck of PCB to the second layer of L3 with minimum discarded unit.Optimize unit 21 and compile these layers, and create a PCB 22, create a compatible reflection that will be used for the discarded unit of mark of next process then with minimum discarded unit according to its decision.
Fig. 2 has used one to have the two sides of 25 PCB, the example of three ply board, has explained according to mapping method of the present invention.
Scan each layer in three layers of said plate, obtain the face 1 of each layer L1, L2 and L3 and the image of face 2.Discarded unit 11 is carried out mark (in this explanation, by " D " mark in addition).This system is the synthetic reflection 12 of said image sets, and reflection 12 uses the position of the discarded unit of shades of colour mark of sign defect layer position, the defective 13 of L1, the defective 14 of L2, defective 15 and the multilayer defective 16 of L3.
As in this instructions and employed in the following claim part, term " discarded unit " etc. refers to the underproof PCB unit on the veneer that comprises polylith PCB.
Although invention has been described to have combined its specific embodiment; But the skilled personnel in this technical field will obviously recognize many selections of the present invention, modification and variant; Therefore, the present invention is intended to comprise design and interior all such selections, modification and the variant of wide region that falls into accompanying claims.
