SITUATION

Every settings adjustment in wafer production directly affects the characteristics of the final products. For optimal further processing, wafers should be sorted into quality classifications. That allows subsequent processes to be adapted to the requirements of each individual wafer.

GP WIS measuring instruments cover all of the parameters needed for wafer classification.

Principle

  • Inline vision wafer inspection to check geometry, impurity (surface quality) and chipped edges
  • Optical microcrack detection (open and closed microcracks)
  • Optical saw mark detection
  • Measurement of wafer thickness and TTV, as well as resistivity
  • Measurement of charge carrier life
  • Mechanical stability test

Advantages

  • Central control unit to monitor measuring devices, wafer tracing, measurement data collection and evaluation
  • Up to 3000 wafers per hour
  • Reliably covers all necessary measurement applications
