Extend the functionality of your system with NADAtech’s Sorter+ Inspection and Metrology Options. Find and measure defects on wafer surfaces and edges using a variety of specially designed applications without adding extra equipment to your production floor. Choose from the following Sorter+ Options:
Wafer Edge Inspection
+ChipChecker
- Top and bottom bevel inspection option
- Function can be added to any typical sort recipe
- Scans wafer bevel for cracks and chips after Align / OCR function
- Standard ASCII and SECS / GEM reporting with defect size and location
- Optional image capture and industry standard XY Report Formating
- Captures defects down to 0.5mm, with latest generation seeing defects down to 60um
- Version 1.0 flags failed wafers and shows number of chips >0.3mm defect bare wafer / >0.5mm defect processed
- Version 2.0 easily detects bonding edge problems and captures multi-tiff images of each chip for K L A R F, recording chip location and size
Wafer Surface Inspection
+Dimple
- Surface defects are detected and measured using fully integrated Hologenix optics
- Uses defocused optics for finding surface defects ( dimples or mounds )
- Typical for wafer polishing defects
- Perfect for finding Post CMP over and under polished areas
- Also used for Post wafer bond MEMS defect inspection
- 150mm / 200mm / 300mm versions
- Whole wafer image processing or magnified version are available
- Optional stocker and agv integrated e84 delivery
Bright Light Inspection
+Gyro
- Front and backside bright light inspection
- Optional full rotation
- 150mm / 200mm / 300mm
- Wafer top-side and bottom-side visual inspection
- Joystick control or programmable recipe control with pass/fail button
- Function can be added to any typical sorting recipe
Bright Light Inspection
+EdgeGyro
- Edge handling only
- Typical bright light inspection for substrate manufacturers
- Front and backside bright light inspection
- Full infinite rotation
- 150mm / 200mm / 300mm
- Wafer top-side and bottom-side visual inspection
- Joystick control or programmable recipe control with pass/fail button
- Function can be added to any typical sorting recipe
Bright Light Inspection
+Gimbal
- Front side only bright light inspection
- Full gimbaling action for topside visual inspection
- Joystick control or programmable recipe control with pass/fail button
- Function can be added to any typical sorting recipe
Macro Inspection During Sort
+MIDS
- Module created to help with common visible macro defects
- Add INLINE inspection to your wafer sort
- NO GOLDEN IMAGES
- Adds ~4 to 5 seconds per wafer
- Completely integrated operation and reporting
- Standard ASCII and SECS / GEM reporting with defect size and location
- Broad spectrum OMNI color LED lighting + grazing dark field LED
- Dome reflector used for omni-directional illumination
- 15mpixel color CMOS imaging camera and coaxial light port
- Additional lighting options - combo dark field / bright field
- Excellent for 3D type defects such as EPI “volcanoes”
- Image stack post processing shows “repeaters” and defect clustering
Scribe Location Inspection
+SLI
- Option for any system using OCR
- Measures scribe location against a qualified location
- Automated characterization
- Automated inspection
- Function can be added to any typical sorting recipe
- Includes SECS / GEM reporting for X / Y and linear offests
- Limits monitoring and alarms
