What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMachine vision systems in this class are used to locate and verify features on parts without contact. Pattern recognition equipment of this kind serves alignment and quality-control tasks around semiconductor and microelectronic manufacturing tools.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a typical flow, pattern recognition at a wafer prober supports accurate placement of probe needles on wafer features before electrical test. In a packaging flow, pattern recognition at a wirebonder supports accurate bond placement by aligning the tool to die and package reference features before bonding begins.
Applications
The View Engineering PR-1 was used with automated wirebonding machines and wafer probers. View Engineering also served semiconductor device fabrication and integrated circuit packaging among its main industries.[1]
