SemDex 301 for Measurement of TSVs/ Bumps
Semi-automatic Wafer-inspection System with Integrated Optical Metrology for a Wide Range of Applications
SemDex 301 is a semi-automatic wafer-inspection system for fully automated non-contact measurement of manually loaded wafers measuring up to 300 mm (12") (also with frame). Use of a StraDex a sensor permits sub-nm measurement of 1D and 2D roughness, as well as bumps and vias.
Substrate layer thickness or the total thickness of a stacked wafer, bow/warp and flatness of a wafer can be determined with sub-µm accuracy in a single measuring run on additional incorporation of one or two StraDex f sensors. An integrated chuck accepts wafers (framed and unframed) with diameters of 6", 8", and 12".
Intuitive WaferSpect software serves for measurement planning by means of protocols, execution of the measuring tasks, saving of the relevant measurement data, and their processing, presentation, and export.
Metrology:
- (Substrate) thicknesses with sub-µm accuracy
- Bow/ warp, flatness with µm accuracy
- Bumps, TSV-3D Metrology in nm range
- TSV depth with high aspect ratios
- Roughnesses in sub-nm range
- Thin layers > 0.2 µm
- Total layer thickness
- Optical inspection and pattern recognition
