Nicolet Almega-Si Wafer Sampling Stage
Not all defects and particles in semiconductor manufacturing are elemental in nature. SEM/EDS and other e-beam defect review tools are not very efficient at identifying polyester fibers, acrylic resins or human proteins. What do you do when your defect is a complex compound made up primarily of carbon?At Thermo Scientific, we have equipped our leading Raman microspectroscopy system with wafer-based stage automation and defect review software that enables you to get results when the usual e-beam and surface morphology tools aren't effective.
