Case Study Digest

Challenges/Issues VS-THV-SWIR Evaluation

・In order to see the backside of the wafer, our customer was attempting to use infrared light instead of visible light to transmit the light through the wafer for imaging.
・The brightness was not sufficient to speed up the inspection with conventional lens.

・The use of THV-SWIR solved the problem by making the lens 4 times brighter than conventional telecentric lenses.
