Optical inspection systems for the semiconductor industry

Precise optical inspection using components from Vision & Control

for wafers, chips and semiconductor components.

Benefits and Options

Blue Vision lenses and lighting – almost double the resolution, whilst offering greater depth of field.

High-resolution telecentric microscope objectives, with and without internal reflection lighting.

Bespoke development and manufacture of optical systems.

vicosys^® 19001 – Intelligent system for ultra-fast data processing.

Chip-Sorting

High-resolution lenses with a wide field of view enable the precise sorting of bare dies into trays or onto conveyor belts.

Inspection and measurement of bond wires

High-resolution optical systems and microscope objectives with a long working distance make it possible to reliably detect lifted bonds, wire breaks, displacements and wire crossings.

Wafer inspection for defects (particles, cracks, etc.)

High-resolution microscope objectives, innovative illumination systems and high-performance imaging solutions featuring AI algorithms from our extensive standard product range.
OEM development and manufacturing – we would be happy to advise you on your bespoke optical systems.

Innovative lighting technology

A combination of different lighting technologies, e.g. for inspecting surfaces.

Polarisation

The use of linear or special circular polarization filters facilitates the display of many defects on semiconductor materials.

SWIR and Hyperspectral

Image processing solutions for the inspection of thin layers and surfaces are made possible by a range of selected optics and lighting systems, as well as the vicosys® image processing platform, which allows different cameras to be operated in parallel.

Vision & Control offers the following for your application

In addition to an extensive standard range, we also offer OEM development and OEM manufacturing ‘Made in Germany’ – going beyond the standard:

telecentric and large apertures (up to 0.5 – on the object side)
high magnification, high resolution
long working distances
large sensor formats for line scan and matrix cameras
customised lens mount (C-mount and M42 as standard)
wavelengths: from 300 to 1,750 nm (broadband or monochrome)

We would be happy to advise you on your bespoke optical system.

High-performance telecentric lighting systems in the standard range

When it comes to lighting, Vision & Control also offers a comprehensive range of telecentric lighting solutions, including ring, line, area, spot and dome lighting.

These ensure optimum illumination and guarantee reproducible inspection results.

If the standard options are not sufficient, we would be happy to advise you on a bespoke lighting solution.

The vicosys^® image processing platform

- ensures that the unique properties of light are successfully implemented in industrial-grade applications for the semiconductor industry.

The vicosys^® family offers powerful algorithms, including AI, as well as the option to integrate external libraries.
It enables innovative machine designs based on a process-stable Linux operating system and industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, PROFINET, I/O).
