Ultra High Speed Fully-auto PL Mapping System

  • Product No:Imperia
  • Manufacturer:Nanometrics Inc.

With its unique optical design technology, the Imperia detects and classifies yieldkilling defects with the additional benefit of simultaneous state-of-the-art photoluminescence (PL) production monitoring.

There are significant economic savings to be gained by more accurately predicting MOCVD reactor yield and PM schedules. Combining these two post-epitaxial metrology screening functions into a single high throughput system minimizes valuable fab space use and cassette handling time.
