AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, high-magnification, high-numerical-aperture objectives have short working distances, making them prone to collisions with the wafer under test. This results in complex operation, slow speed, low safety factor, and difficulty in adapting to wafers of different thicknesses, affecting the efficiency and safety of the defect detection system.

Method used

The wafer stage is illuminated by parallel light, and shadow images are acquired using a detector. The width of the bright slit is calculated, and the objective lens is determined by the descent and ascent process. This ensures that the objective lens and the wafer are vertically offset to avoid collisions, and precise positioning is achieved through a stepper motor and drive system.

Benefits of technology

It improves the efficiency and safety of the defect detection system, adapts to wafers of different thicknesses, ensures the accuracy and reliability of detection, avoids collisions between the objective lens and the wafer, and improves the safety factor of production.
