Guide to Lasers and Vision Systems for Semiconductor Processing
Lasers and vision systems for semiconductor processing help manufacturers inspect their components
By Kelly Wright
Businesses can use lasers and vision systems for semiconductor processing to conduct failure analysis, the process of determining why a semiconductor or other component is faulty. For example, testers can use a laser voltage prober (LVP) in conjunction with a laser scanning microscope (LSM) to take measurements and search for flaws.
If your business uses these lasers and vision systems, you'll need to stay current with the technology to make sure you're getting the right equipment for your unique needs. Keep up-to-date with the semiconductor laser industry by following these steps.
1. Purchase one of the semiconductor processing vision systems that best meets your needs.
2. Explore auctions and marketplaces for used semiconductor inspection vision equipment
3. Attend a conference or workshop to learn more about lasers for inspecting semiconductors
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Consult with a semiconductor processing vision equipment vendor to find the best products
Lasers and vision systems for semiconductor processing come in different types for varying purposes. Shop around to find products that fit your unique needs.
I recommend: GlobalSpec has a directory for semiconductor equipment products and services. Consider Nikon's range of semiconductor inspection equipment.
Consider purchasing used semiconductor vision equipment to minimize expenses for your business
Choosing used equipment can help your bottom line. However, be sure you're buying equipment that can still get the job done; learn what you can about the semiconductor inspection vision equipment's previous workload and how well it was cared for before you buy.
I recommend: SemiWeb hosts online auctions and a marketplace for semiconductor inspection equipment. At ThomasNet, you can find a list of used semiconductor processing equipment suppliers.
Learn to operate imaging equipment used in the semiconductor industry by attending a workshop
A workshop or industry meeting is a great place to learn more about using your semiconductor processing vision systems to their full capacity. High-tech industries change quickly, so it's important for businesses to learn all they can about technological updates and current events in the industry.
I recommend: The IEEE Laser & Electro-Optics Society holds an annual conference for the photonics industry and semiconductor laser workshops for industry professionals. The annual International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing covers topics of interest to the semiconductor industry.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Consult with an expert to find the best vision systems for inspecting semiconductors. An industry professional can help you find systems that align with your unique criteria. Their hands-on experience can help you make informed decisions for your business.
