What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAutomatic defect inspection machines scan wafer surfaces optically, comparing acquired images or signals to reference patterns or thresholds to identify anomalies such as particles, scratches, pattern deviations, and contamination.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn automatic defect inspection machine typically employs brightfield or darkfield illumination and high-resolution imaging sensors to capture wafer surface topography. The system moves the wafer under a microscope objective or laser spot, synchronizing stage motion with image acquisition.
Acquired images are processed by dedicated algorithms that detect deviations from an ideal pattern or background, generating a defect map. The machine then classifies defects by size, type, and location, and may produce a review file for further analysis.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe inspection results are fed back to process control systems to adjust parameters or trigger rework. Downstream review tools such as scanning electron microscopes may be used to verify defects flagged by the inspection system.
