Crystal Slip Defect Detection (SlipFinder)

Crystal Slip Defect Detection (SlipFinder)

Hologenix

The SlipFinder is a wafer surface inspection system for the detection of crystal slip (lattice) dislocations. The system's optical configuration is based on the original Magic Mirror method, a full-field defocused optical reflective imaging technique. The system's high sensitivity and large field of view (15mm x 12mm) eliminates the subjective and tedious visual and microscope inspection methods. It provides a rapid "hands-off" slip inspection for in-line monitoring and production.

Fully Automatic 300 mm Wafer Inspection
