Automatic Optical Inspection

Low cost, automated optical inspection system for a fast, high resolution production line inspection.

Market

Markets Test & Measurement Industrial Processes Process control

Problem Solved by the Technology

The technology enables a high resolution, high throughput, automated optical inspection of products in production line at much lower cost than existing systems.

Typical inspection systems utilize collection of multiple images with different fields of view to detect defective products.

To gain the high resolution and throughput, multiple expensive high resolution cameras with high pixel rates are needed.

How the Technology Solves the Problem

High resolution camera and an image scanning module with multiple objectives arranged to each have a field of view covering a portion of the inspected article.

An image selection mirror sequentially transfers images from the multiple fields of views to the camera.

The images captured by the camera are processed to detect defects in the article.

Primary Application

Inspection of semiconductor wafers, electrical devices, solar panels, flat panel displays such as LCD, plasma, FET, and printed circuit boards.

Other Potential Applications

The technology can be used to examine both large and small area articles.

Inspection and control of any other production lines such as aerospace, cars, medical devices, printing and web substrates.

Competitive Advantage

High resolution High speed Low cost Modular Easily expanded for

wider substrates Bolts onto existing

equipment, or free standing

Low Cost Advantage

Multiple objectives shared by each camera

Camera is the more expensive component
