Electrical Defect Imaging of ITO Coated Glass by Optical Microscope With Microwave Heating

We present a new optical method for the electrical defect inspection for indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film on a glass substrate. The present method is based on the visualization of the microwave heating distribution around an electrical defect from the thermal stress distribution of the glass substra...

The present method is based on the visualization of the microwave heating distribution around an electrical defect from the thermal stress distribution of the glass substrate of ITO-glass. By using a conventional polarized microscope with microwave irradiation (6 ~ 15 GHz), we show that the present method provides a non-contact and non-destructive way to inspect an electrical defect of a transparent conductive thin film with a minimum detectable defect length of 1 mm and a parallel sensing of electrical defects distributed in a 40 mm by 30 mm area. The high resolution and wide field of view of the present method are attractive features for the practical application of this inspection technology.https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8672863/Microwave imagingdefect detectionoptical inspection technology
