Wafer alignment sensor

Wafer alignment sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses solutions for improving the accuracy of wafer eccentricity measurement in semiconductor manufacturing, focusing on high-speed, high-accuracy, and space-saving sensor technology.
Current Situation and Issues: Special cleaning processes require precise wafer positioning, but current compact sensors lack accuracy. Space constraints in cleaning chambers limit the installation of high-accuracy sensors, and cost-effective solutions are needed for multiple chambers.
Solutions:
  • Solution 1: An ultrathin sensor head measuring 20×8×50 mm allows installation in tight spaces.
  • Solution 2: Azbil's unique FDN algorithm and super-resolution technology provide a resolution of 0.1 µm, capturing high-accuracy wafer eccentricity data.
  • Solution 3: The smallest and lightest sensor head in its class can be installed in very small spaces.
  • Solution 4: A multichannel controller connects up to four sensor-head channels, reducing costs when multiple sensors are used.
Technical Specifications: The sensor system includes a dual-processor multitasking capability that quadruples processing speed, and a linear image sensor for light intensity imaging.
Additional Information: The document notes that specifications are subject to change and emphasizes the importance of reviewing terms and conditions before ordering. Azbil Corporation, formerly Yamatake Corporation, provides this technology.
