Inspection

Automated, high-speed defect inspection and actionable data analysis for unpatterned wafer, patterned wafer and panels.

Jump to:

Microelectronics manufacturers partner with Onto Innovation to develop solutions to their most difficult process control challenges. We help improve yield and reliability through high-speed, automated inspection and process control software that transforms defect data into actionable insights.

Wafer manufacturers rely on our unpatterned defect inspection solutions to ensure wafer quality, covering frontside, bevel/edge, notch and backside inspection. Likewise, chip makers need tools for macro defect inspection of patterned wafers, panels and stacked die packages to help ensure high yielding processes and an optimized cost of ownership.

From R&D to high volume manufacturing, we’re committed to helping customers realize their full potential.
