Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The NSX 85 is an automatic wafer and die defect inspection system.[1]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn automatic wafer and die inspection system typically uses an optical microscope with an automated stage to scan the wafer or die surface.
The system captures images of the inspected area and compares them to a reference image or design data to identify defects such as particles, scratches, and pattern anomalies.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedInspection can be performed on whole wafers before dicing or on individual dies after dicing, providing feedback to upstream process tools.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTypical inspected defects include particles, scratches, pits, residue, and pattern integrity issues on a variety of wafer and die surfaces.
