摘要: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods for inspecting wafers. After a brick is sliced into a plurality of bare wafers, a two-dimensional (2D) photoluminescence (PL) image of each wafer is taken, the PL images of the wafers in sequential order (i.e., the sequence of the wafers as they are sliced from the brick) are then combined to construct a three-dimensional (3D) model of the brick that highlights similar regions in the brick.

摘要: A substrate rotator configured to rotate one or more substrates includes a body, a body actuator coupled to the body and configured to rotate the body, and a first and second gripper coupled to the body. A substrate edge metrology system that measures side chips or other defects on all sides of the substrate is also described. The metrology system includes two metrology stations and the substrate rotator. Methods for measuring side chips or other defects on a substrate are also provided. The method includes performing metrology on a first set of sides of the first substrate, rotating the first substrate by a first angle, and performing metrology on the second set of sides of the first substrate.

摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a conveyor inspection system and a method of sorting a substrate. The conveyor inspection system includes a moveable conveyor and a rapid conveyor. The moveable conveyor is configured to transfer undesired substrates to the rapid conveyor. The method includes determining that the substrate is undesirable for entry into a modular inspection unit, transferring the substrate to a rapid conveyor in response to determining that the substrate is undesirable for entry into the modular inspection unit, and transporting the substrate on the rapid conveyor. The conveyor inspection system and method remove substrates from the test system upon first entering the test system, which reduces time wasted in analyzing undesired substrates that would be discarded.
