QC-RT

QC-RTX-Ray Diffraction Imaging (XRDI) reflection inspection system that detects crystalline defects in patterned and blanket wafers

  • Identify defects on wafers during manufacture without dislocation etching
  • Identify defects on substrate surfaces and epilayers
  • Patented, fully digital reflection topography system
  • Full 300mm scanning, with rapid coarse reflection scans of either the full wafer area or selected regions
  • Can mount part 450mm wafers
  • Monitoring of defects down to single dislocations, a single atom or row wide (<1nm), at any doping and wafer backside treatment.
  • Unique edge exclusion zone monitoring
  • Capability for a wide range of crystalline substrates
  • Efficient system with low power sources

Description

 

The QC-RT is the latest defect metrology system. It uses reflection topography to image the surface and first 10-30µm subsurface region for crystalline defects.

Materials

  • Si substrates and epi-layers
  • Patterned wafer capability, even after metal layer deposition
  • III-V, II-VI and IV-IV substrates
  • SiC substrate and GaN epi-layers
  • Thick substrates from end of boules to detemine slip penetration

Techniques

  • X-ray Diffraction Imaging in transmission, reflection and cross-sectional modes

Specification

  • Full X-ray safety interlocks, fail-safe shutter and warning lamps
  • Camera resolutions from 3μm for high resolution work
  • Camera options for high resolution or high speed
  • Microfocus generators running at 50W for low power consumption
