8 Series

High Productivity Patterned Wafer Broad Range Inspection Systems

The 8 Series patterned wafer inspection systems detect a wide variety of defect types at very high throughput for fast identification and resolution of production process issues. The 8 Series provides cost-effective defect monitoring for 150mm, 200mm or 300mm silicon and non-silicon substrates from initial product development through volume production. The latest generation 8935 inspector employs new optical technologies and DesignWise^® and FlexPoint^™ precise area inspection techniques to capture critical defects that can cause chip failures. DefectWise^® AI technology enables fast, inline separation of defect types for improved defect discovery and binning. With these innovations, the 8935 supports high productivity capture of yield and reliability-related defects at a low nuisance rate, helping both leading-edge and legacy node fabs accelerate delivery of their products—reliably and at lower cost.

WI-2280

WI-2280

Multi-Substrate Defect Inspection and Metrology Systems

The WI-2280 automated optical inspection and metrology systems inspect and measure microelectronic devices on a variety of wafer substrates, supporting wafer-level packaging and post-dicing quality control for LED, VCSEL and other integrated circuit applications. It is capable of handling whole wafers from 2 to 8 inches and diced wafers on FFC or a hoop ring. With both inspection and 2D metrology capability, the WI-2280 systems provide feedback on the wafer surface quality; wafer dicing quality; and, critical dimension and overlay quality of bumps, pads and copper pillars. The systems are designed with IRIS (ICOS Review and Classification Software), which offers defect review and reclassification, for faster yield learning and improved process control.

Hard Disk Drive Media and Substrates Topography Measurement and Defect Inspection System

The Candela^® 63xx dual laser-based inspection system provides surface inspection of hard disk drive substrates and finished media. Its unique multi-channel optical design enables roughness and waviness metrology measurements on both smooth metal and glass substrates. Defects, such as particles and scratches, can be automatically detected and classified using the same platform. The Candela 6310 is a manual system suited for both laboratory and low volume production, while the Candela 6340 is a fully automated cassette-to-cassette system for production environments.

ZetaScan

ZetaScan

High Throughput Defect Inspection for Large and Irregular Shaped Substrates

The ZetaScan Series high throughput defect inspection and classification systems are used in the display and solar industries on glass substrates, flat panels and other substrates. With a small laser scanning spot and four simultaneous inspection channels, the ZetaScan Series captures and classifies critical defects on a wide range of substrates, including rough ground, polished, unpolished, opaque and transparent substrates, and thin glass or bonded wafers. Utilizing a multi-mode approach to inspection, the ZetaScan Series defect inspectors provide high defect sensitivity at high throughput.

SensArray^® Process Probe™ 2070

In Situ Flat Panel Temperature Monitoring System

The Process Probe™ 2070 instrumented glass tiles offer a cost-effective and flexible solution for reliable, in situ characterization of glass temperature profiles for many flat panel processing applications. Employing a number of small instrumented glass tiles rather than a single large panel of glass, the Process Probe 2070 allows the thermocouple sensors to be easily placed at desired locations on the susceptor within the process chamber. This flexible product design simplifies temperature measurements for LCD and other large-generation glass panel applications, enabling high accuracy process qualification and optimization.

Klarity^®

Automated Defect and Yield Data Analysis

Klarity^® Defect automated defect analysis and data management system helps fabs achieve faster yield learning cycles through real-time excursion identification. Klarity^® SSA (Spatial Signature Analysis) analysis module for Klarity Defect provides automatic detection and classification of defect signatures that indicate process issues. Klarity^® ACE XP advanced yield analysis system helps fabs capture, retain and share yield learning within and across fabs for yield acceleration. Klarity systems utilize an intuitive decision flow analysis, allowing engineers to easily create customized analyses that support applications such as lot dispositioning, review sampling, defect source analysis, SPC setup and management, and excursion notifications. Klarity Defect, Klarity SSA and Klarity ACE XP form a fab-wide yield solution that automatically reduces defect inspection, classification and review data to relevant root-cause and yield-analysis information. Klarity data helps IC, packaging, compound semi and HDD manufacturers take corrective action sooner, resulting in accelerated yield and better time to market.
