Optical Defect Inspection

Optical defect inspection is a non-destructive testing method that utilises light to examine surfaces and materials for defects, irregularities, or contamination. This technology is widely employed across various industries, including electronics, aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, to ensure product quality and integrity.

Nanotronics, alongside C&D Semiconductor, are leading providers of optical defect inspection solutions. Both companies offer a range of advanced systems that combine high-resolution imaging, artificial intelligence, and automation to deliver accurate, reliable, and efficient inspection capabilities.

C&D Semiconductor’s Wafer Inspection Systems, including the V3000 Macro-Scope Defect Review System, provide comprehensive macro and micro inspection capabilities. These systems are specifically designed to handle both large and small substrate wafers with high throughput and precision. The integration of features such as dual-cassette handling, multiple light sources for enhanced defect detection, and ergonomic designs underscores their commitment to innovation and user-friendly operation.

Nanotronics’ products are renowned for their ability to detect defects, measure dimensions, and analyse surface characteristics with exceptional precision. These systems are enhanced by the integration of machine learning algorithms, which enable the systems to adapt and improve their performance over time. This technological advancement reduces false alarms and increases defect detection accuracy while offering high-speed inspection capabilities that minimise inspection times and enable real-time process control.

Both C&D Semiconductor and Nanotronics equip manufacturers with the tools needed to identify and address issues early in the production process. By leveraging cutting-edge technology in optical defect inspection, manufacturers can enhance product quality, reduce scrap rates, and optimise overall production efficiency. This, in turn, contributes to increased competitiveness and profitability in today’s demanding market landscape.
