PrimaScan™ System

The PrimaScan wafer defect inspection system delivers a flexible, high sensitivity solution at the lowest cost of ownership per pass.

PrimaScan System

Product Overview

The PrimaScan system utilizes laser scatterometry and imaging techniques leveraging proprietary optics and sensing technologies for reliable inspection of nanometer sized defects on a variety of opaque and transparent/semi-transparent substrates suitable for either R&D or high-volume manufacturing environments. With multiple detection channels, the system can detect, measure, characterize and image surface particles, scratches, pits, bumps, surface contamination, film or bulk wafer stress, voids/inclusions, including chips and cracks at the wafer edge.

The PrimaScan system addresses challenges in both incoming wafer quality control and in inline process monitoring. Capable of handling multiple substrate materials, it uniquely addresses inline process defect and contamination monitoring in wafer-based production environments.

Designed with versatility in mind the PrimaScan system can handle a variety of wafer sizes and substrate types

Applications

  • Opaque or transparent wafer incoming quality (ICQ) inspection
  • Process monitor wafer particle and contamination inspection
  • Unpatterned blanket photoresist, dielectric or metallic coated wafer defect inspection
  • Subsurface defectivity inspection for transparent and semi-transparent films and substrates
  • Glass carrier wafer defect and contamination inspection for advanced packaging
  • Glass wafer defect and contamination inspection for microfluidics, microlens arrays for AR/VR/MR, flat optics, etc.

Discover® Patterns Software

Discover Patterns software quickly and easily traces patterns back to yield-killing process issues.

Product Overview

Discover Patterns software combines sort and defect spatial patterns utilizing proprietary machine learning (ML) algorithms, to uncover hidden patterns that would have been otherwise lost. Segmentation allows users to eliminate noise and extract definitive patterns from a larger pattern or a seemingly random array of defects. Wafer stacking enables the handling of faint defect trends to more clearly isolate patterns.

Combining Discover Patterns software with the Discover Defect platform multiplies the value of your defect management infrastructure by intelligently identifying and acting upon known patterns in real time. It marks defects and die affected by patterns for deeper understanding of processes and reduces the need for human intervention.
