For quality control purposes, wafers, such as semiconductor or flat-panel display (FPD) chips, need to be examined under a microscope to verify that they meet specifications related to both circuit ...
Wafers can be inspected for large, obvious defects, or for small, subtle ones. The former is referred to as macro-inspection, while the latter is micro-inspection. These processes use different ...
Each of the inspection systems in the new portfolio features seamless connectivity to the recently introduced eDR-7000 e-beam wafer defect review system. With outstanding sensitivity and review speed, ...
Semiconductor circuits (patterns) printed on semiconductor wafers (substrates) are shrinking, while such substrates are becoming larger in physical size. Over the years, the inspection of patterned ...
Defect inspection scientists from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology and The Chinese University of Hong Kong make a thorough review of new perspectives and ...
Final electrical test remains one of the best ways to assess a circuit’s ultimate viability. But we know that, unfortunately, even 100% end-of-line electrical testing of semiconductor wafers will not ...
As the automotive electronics market continues to grow, spurred by developments such as semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles, the demand is increasing for power semiconductor components with ...
