Abstract

Provided are a chip component mounting device and a chip component mounting method capable of highly accurately adjusting the parallelism of a holding surface of an attachment with respect to a substrate stage. Specifically, the chip component mounting method includes a parallelism adjustment step (step S05) for adjusting the parallelism of a holding surface 43a, and a parallelism measurement step (step S06) for measuring the parallelism of the holding surface 43a. In the parallelism measurement step, the measurement of the parallelism of the holding surface 43a is executed through calculation based on the relationship between: a plurality of positions of the holding surface 43a in the up-down direction measured when the holding surface 43a is pushed against a height reference rod 3 from above each time the position of the height reference rod 3 is horizontally shifted; and the positions of the height reference rod 3 in the corresponding measurements. In the parallelism adjustment step, the adjustment of the parallelism of the holding surface 43a is executed by lowering a bonding head 42 in a state in which the height reference rod 3 is shifted to a horizontal position coordinate (prescribed position) and pushing the holding surface 43a against the height reference rod 3.

Abstract

The present invention accurately classifies patterns of defects occurring in an object to be inspected. Specifically, a defect classification device 1 includes a classification unit 10 for classifying patterns of defect X occurring in an object W to be inspected that has been imaged so as to be divided into a plurality of visual fields F. The plurality of visual fields include a first visual field F1 and a second visual field F2 adjacent to each other. A first end part F1p on the second visual field side of the first visual field and a second end part F2p on the first visual field side of the second visual field overlap each other. The first visual field includes a first defect X1. The second visual field includes a second defect X2. The classification unit cuts out a region in which the first defect appears in the first visual field as a first defect image C1, and cuts out a region in which the second defect appears in the second visual field as a second defect image C2. When the first defect image includes the first end part and the second defect image includes the second end part, the classification unit classifies the patterns of the defects in a state in which the first defect image and the second defect image are aligned such that the first defect and the second defect overlap.

Specifically, this method for forming a perovskite film comprises: a film formation step in which a perovskite film is formed on a substrate; a crystalline state checking step in which the crystalline state of the perovskite film on the substrate is checked by means of measurement; and a condition adjustment step in which the working conditions in the film formation step for the following substrates are adjusted on the basis of the measurement results of the crystalline state checking step. In the crystalline state checking step, a numerical data distribution of the crystalline state of the entirety of the perovskite film is acquired by setting a plurality of measurement positions over the entirety of the perovskite film on the substrate and acquiring numerical data at each one of the measurement positions.

Abstract

Provided is a coating device which makes it possible to prevent the crystal state of a formed coating film from becoming non-uniform. More specifically, a coating device is provided, which is provided with a stage on which a substrate is mounted, an application device which ejects a coating solution through a nozzle to form a coating film on the substrate while moving relatively to the substrate mounted on the stage, and a dryer which dries the coating film on the substrate, in which the dryer has such a configuration that a drying-promoting force for promoting drying from drying distribution information about the coating film on the substrate is controlled in accordance with position on the coating film.
