Falcon 630 Automatic Wafer Optical
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer optical inspection systems generally move a wafer through an optical imaging path and analyze the resulting images for defects, pattern deviations, or other visible anomalies. Automatic configurations generally combine wafer handling, stage motion, illumination, imaging, and inspection software so the machine can inspect wafers with limited operator intervention.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer optical inspection systems fit into process control flows wherever optical defect review or patterned wafer inspection is needed between fabrication steps. Wafer optical inspection systems are commonly used after patterning, etch, deposition, or cleaning operations to detect excursions before additional value is added downstream.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer optical inspection systems are used to inspect semiconductor wafers for surface defects, contamination, pattern issues, and other optically visible process results. Automatic wafer optical inspection systems support production monitoring, excursion detection, and yield learning in fabs and related microfabrication environments.
