Overview

The Surfscan® SP1 is an unpatterned surface inspection system that provides the sensitivity, repeatability, surface quality measurements and throughput capabilities required for 0.18 µm process technologies and beyond. It is designed for wafer, equipment and IC manufacturers. The SP1 provides 0.08 µm sensitivity on well-polished silicon at 95% capture, as well as throughputs of up to 150 wph on 200 mm wafers, and up to 100 wph on 300 mm wafers.
