Wafer inspection has become a critical part of the semiconductor manufacturing process. Inspections performed after wafer test can analyze the marks left by probe cards to ensure that the test process ...

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 ...

Motorola Inc.’s semiconductor products sector (SPS) today said it has developed and qualified the first wafer level burn-in and test (WLBT) process for flip-chip microprocessors. Motorola aims to ...

In this interview, Dr. Chady Stephan, PhD, the Applied Markets Leader at PerkinElmer, talks to AZoM about the current trends shaping semiconductor wafer manufacturing. A semiconductor is a material ...

Major processes in semiconductor wafer fabrication: 1) wafer preparation, 2) pattern transfer, 3) doping, 4) deposition, 5) etching, and 6) packaging. The process of creating semiconductors can be ...

Increased productivity and efficiency with one-pass test enabled by a high-voltage switching matrix Designed to enhance the safety of operators and equipment; complies with regulations SANTA ROSA, ...

I’ve had a fairly varied early part of my career in the semiconductors business: a series of events caused me to jump disciplines a little bit, and after one such event, I landed in the test ...

This higher density of circuitry on a wafer requires greater accuracy and a highly fragile and advanced fabrication process. Several newer and highly complex ICs today are made of a dozen or more ...
