• Hunting For Macro Defects

  By Anne Meixner| Semiconductor Engineering Verified Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the wafer level, a macro-defect can affect more than one die, and in some cases large regions of a wafer. Finding macro defects can indicate a significant issue with a process module, a particular film, or wafer handling.

• Need For KGD Drives Singulated Die Screening

  By Anne Meixner| Semiconductor Engineering Verified The move to multi-die packaging is driving chipmakers to develop more cost-effective ways to ensure only known-good die are integrated into packages, because the price of failure is significantly higher than with a single die. Better methods for inspecting and testing these devices are already starting to roll out. High-throughput infrared inspection is capable of catching more sub-surface defects that can cause device failure.
