nSpec was purchased in 2013 and is a workhorse for us. It provides invaluable characterization of the properties of every wafer that goes through our facility.
President & CEO
The ideal system for research & development settings
Defect inspection is crucial to scaling next-generation devices. The LS system has a small footprint and is used to identify, classify, and assign causality to defects before you scale to volume production.
Flexible software
User-friendly software makes configuring recipes simple. As needs evolve, recipes are easily saved and modified.
Robust hardware
The nSpec LS can manage various sample form factors and can inspect a wide variety of new and novel materials.
Powered by Nanotronics AI
nTelligence is trained to identify early process defects before scaling to high-volume manufacturing.
Modular design
Easily upgrade the nSpec LS to a PS system when your process is ready to be scaled to volume production.

Automate inspection across your R&D and production lines.
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is one of the most efficient forms of device inspection, but it is typically limited by resolution. Nanotronics AI detection algorithms overcome this and detect defects that would otherwise go unnoticed.
