Semiconductor Inspection Equipment
Metrology and inspection are important for the management of the semiconductor manufacturing process. There are 400 to 600 steps in the overall manufacturing process of semiconductor wafers, which are undertaken in the course of one to two months. If any defects occur early on in the process, all the work undertaken in the subsequent time-consuming steps will be wasted. The main segment in the report includes mask inspection, film inspection, optical inspection, wafer defect inspection, macro defect inspection and image wafer inspection, etc.
