    Abstract: A three-dimension measurement device includes a moving device, a projecting device, a surface-type image-capturing device and a processing device. The moving device carries an object, and moves the object to a plurality of positions. The projecting device generates a first light to the object. The surface-type image-capturing device senses a second light generated by the object in response to the first light to generate a phase image on each of the positions. The processing device is coupled to the surface-type image-capturing device and receives the phase images. The processing device performs a region-of-interest (ROI) operation for the phase images to generate a plurality of ROI images. The processing device performs a multi-step phase-shifting operation for the ROI images to calculate the surface height distribution of the object.

    Abstract: A heterogeneous integration detecting method and a heterogeneous integration detecting apparatus are provided. The heterogeneous integration detecting method includes the following. Under the condition of maintaining the same relative distance between an interference objective lens and a sample, the relative posture of the interference objective lens and the sample is continuously adjusted according to the change of an image of the sample in the field of view of the interference objective lens until a first optical axis of the interference objective lens is determined to be substantially perpendicular to the surface of the sample according to the image. The interference objective lens is replaced with an imaging objective lens and the geometric profile of at least one via of the sample is detected. A second optical axis of the imaging objective lens after replacement overlaps with the first optical axis of the interference objective lens before replacement.
