The nSpec® is a fully automated, precision optical inspection system for viewing, analyzing and reporting on defects in opaque, transparent and semi-transparent wafers. Defect reports are fully customizable.
The nSpec® system can image and analyze:
Substrate wafers
Epi wafers
Patterned wafers
Diced wafers
Individual devices
The nSpec® system has multiple magnification settings making it easier for users to characterize defect types.
It also offers complete rapid scanning and wafer mosaicing.
Repeated quality control testing is easy to set up. There are settings for single image capture and scans. Configuration options include wafer size, defect types, and scan resolution.
Sample chucks are available to meet specific size needs and users can pair the system with an automated wafer loader to speed up throughput and decrease damaged wafers caused by operator-handling errors.
The system is delivered fully functional and includes installation and user training.
