摘要:
The periphery of an area of a master pattern is expanded by a required number of pixels to define a plurality of master pattern areas two-dimensionally misregistered pixel by pixel, for performing pattern comparison of the respective master pattern areas with an area of an object pattern. The object pattern is deemed defective when all of the comparisons indicate pattern mismatches. The pattern is deemed not defective when at least one comparison indicates a pattern match. Thus, even if an inspected object includes misregistration errors, pattern defects can be detected with high accuracy.

A method and apparatus for detecting neck disconnection between a land and a line in a wiring pattern on a printed board includes a scanner for obtaining images of the wiring pattern and a through hole formed in the pattern. The image of the wiring pattern is converted to a line image representing a wiring line by thinning the pattern image. A window encompassing the image of the through hole is defined, and part of the thinned pattern image overlapping the window is extracted. The number of end points of the thinned pattern image is counted in the window. If the number of the end points is an odd number larger than one, it is determined that neck disconnection is present in the wiring pattern.

A high-pressure processing apparatus includes a processing vessel including a processing chamber formed therein to perform a certain process onto an object in the processing chamber; fluid feeding means which feeds a high-pressure fluid into the processing chamber; fluid discharging means which discharges the high-pressure fluid from the processing chamber; an agitating unit which is arranged in the processing chamber and is operative to flow the high-pressure fluid over the object by relative rotation to the processing vessel; a communicating channel which is formed in the processing vessel to communicate inside and outside of the processing chamber; a rotary driving member which is coupled to the agitating unit via a shaft portion provided in the communicating channel; and a sealing portion which is provided between the shaft portion and the processing vessel to disconnect the processing chamber from the rotary driving member. The fluid discharging means includes a fluid discharging port formed in a certain position of the communicating channel closer to the processing chamber than the sealing portion to discharge the high-pressure fluid.

With respect to any one of processing units, a main transportation path, a developing unit, a dedicated transportation robot and a high-pressure processing unit are disposed linearly in this order in a direction. Hence, even if a processing fluid adhering to a substrate or an evaporant of the processing fluid moves toward the main transportation path while the high-pressure processing unit transports the substrate wet with the processing fluid, there are the processing units located which the processing fluid or its evaporant must arrive at before reaching the main transportation path.

A method and system for processing a substrate includes performing a wet process by supplying a working liquid to a substrate in a wet processing apparatus, transferring the substrate in a non-dry state from the wet processing apparatus to a drying apparatus, and subjecting the substrate to a supercritical drying by a supercritical fluid in the drying apparatus.
摘要:
A binarized image data group of an inspected object for a plurality of pixels arrayed in the sub-scanning direction is sequentially created in order along the main scanning direction to determine whether or not the pattern of an inputted image corresponds to a standard through-hole pattern on the basis of the binarized image data group. When the determination is of yes, through-hole diameter masking data are sequentially created in order along the main scanning direction to sequentially perform masking processing on the binarized image data group of the inspected object arrayed in the sub-scanning direction. Thus, the through-hole pattern is automatically detected to be subjected to masking processing, whereby an inspected object having through-holes can be inspected by a pattern matching method.

摘要:
Liquid for prevention of substrate drying is supplied into a processing chamber so that a pool of the liquid is created as an anti-drying atmosphere in advance inside a processing chamber, and substrates, as they are dipped in the pool, are kept on stand-by in a substrate board. In this manner, air drying of the substrates which are kept on stand-by is prevented. When the number of the substrates in the substrate board reaches a certain number, the anti-drying atmosphere is removed from the processing chamber, which is followed by introduction of an SCF into the processing chamber and supercritical drying (high pressure drying) of all of the plurality of substrates inside the processing chamber, namely, batch supercritical drying.
摘要:
Respective images of a conductive pattern and through holes of a printed circuit board are obtained. The through holes are classified into normal through holes having a relatively large diameter and mini via holes having a comparatively small diameter. The mini via hole image is enlarged to become an enlarged mini via hole image (SHSm). The image of the conductive pattern has hole parts therein, which are filled with images generated from the normal through hole image and the mini via hole image to obtain a corrected pattern image (CPS). The edge of the corrected pattern image is detected and enlarged to obtain an enlarged edge image (SES). The enlarged edge image is classified into two areas, one of which overlaps with the enlarged mini via hole image (SHSm). These two areas are subjected to inspection in different inspection modes.
摘要:
A printed circuit board (11) is provided with a conductive pattern (P, R) and a through hole (H) thereon. Respective images of the conductive pattern and a through hole are photoelectrically read with an image reader (20). The conductive pattern image is magnified in size to obtain a magnified pattern image (PI.sub.m), while the hole image is magnified at different magnification factors to obtain magnified hole images (HI.sub.n, HI.sub.n-i). A ring image (RP) is defined by the difference of the magnified hole images. The overlapped region (WR) on which the ring image and the magnified pattern image overlap each other is then calculated, and a defect or an opening of the conductive pattern is detected by calculating the aperture angle (.theta.) of the overlapped image.
