Features

Identifying critical defects in sapphire

Autofocus

Advanced autofocus algorithms determine an autofocus map to deliver precise results across batches.

Golden template

nSpec generates a golden template to compare against scan images. To ignore feature boundaries, fiducial marks, and other regions, a mask is applied to the golden template.

Recommended Product

nSpecPS

The nSpec PS is highly flexible and detects defects in a variety of wafers, substrates, and materials.

Benefits

Defect types

  • Craters

    Determine irregularities that occur during the plating process.

  • Pillars

    Pillar defects can affect device performance, reliability, and yield.

  • Stains

    Identify color differences during fabrication process to prevent degraded electrical properties.

Epitaxy

Silicon on Sapphire

Grow silicon epitaxy on sapphire substrate.

Dislocations

On etched wafers, detect defect types by shape and provide counts, sizes, and locations for all defects, such as threading edge dislocations, and threading screw dislocations.

Lattice mismatch

Easily identify lattice mismatch and thermal stress from a difference in thermal expansion coefficients.

Surface roughness

Determine surface roughness or haze to prevent non-uniform surfaces in subsequent processing steps.

Industries

Our solutions are tailored to meet the unique challenges and demands of each sector.
