Defects

Automatically detect and classify

  • Crystalline defects

    nSpec can detect stacking faults and other crystalline defects in the bulk of the material.

  • 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.

  • Micropipes

    Accurately detect and classify subtle crystallographic defects. covering virtually the full area of the wafer.

Epitaxy

Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide

Grow gallium nitride epitaxy on silicon carbide substrate for your power electronics.

Detecting cracks

Differentiate between cracks and slip lines, a crucial step in improving GaN manufacturing.

Detecting slip lines

Slip lines are subsurface lines resulting from shear stress in the silicon substrate itself.

Lattice mismatch

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

V-pit or inverted pyramids

Identify defects that will cause voltage leaks.

Industries

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