Wafer production
Increase yield while ensuring the highest quality and process reliability, even in ongoing wafer production.
Our inline optical inspection systems reliably detect defects on the surface, at the edge and inside the bulk wafer material to significantly increase your production capacity. Save costs by removing defective material before it reaches the next stage of the production process.
Post-Grinding / Pre-Polishing Inspection
CMP eliminates micro peaks and valleys.
However, microcracks in the bulk wafer material or at the wafer edge can lead to wafer breakage during polishing or other downstream processes, resulting in high costs. Defective wafers must be rejected in time to avoid expensive cleaning and extended machine downtime.

SpecGAGE3D ensures wafer planarity
Wafer planarity is essential for perfect assembly. SpecGAGE3D is a compact solution for efficient quality inspection of reflective surfaces. Using deflectometry, height deviations, and defects are reliably detected in a single measurement.
The measurement data is compared to the CAD data, and differences are evaluated within seconds. The system quickly and efficiently determines whether the manufactured wafers are within the required dimensional tolerances. This enables users to minimize production waste while optimizing processes and machine settings.
Integrated into fully automated production lines, SpecGAGE3D permanently improves the process and reduces production costs.
Benefits
- Detects defects on the front and back side of the web
- Reliable checking of register accuracy
- Continuous and seamless process control
- Features
- Typical defects
- Technical data
- Precise height measurement on reflective surfaces for wafer shape inspection
- High detection rate with extremely low slope variations
- Evaluation according to shape and surface defects
- Shape deviations
- Waviness
- Scratches, inclusions, dots
- Measuring principle: Phase measuring deflectometry
- Measuring fields: 300x200 - 600×400 mm²
- Lateral resolution: ~ 20-240 µm
- Accuracy elevation map: +/- 10 μm on 10×10 cm²

Production analytics - Data-driven efficiency
The web-based production analytics platform allows you to check the system status of all production lines at a glance or analyze production data in detail. With the quality management system, you analyze historical data, monitor current inspection data in real-time, and identify future trends in your production process.
Early detection of production defects
Detect and quickly identify the cause of threshold value violations at every stage of production with live status information and automatic alerts. As a result you can quickly resolve production defects, shorten downtime, and reduce production costs.
Predictive maintenance
You can prevent potential system failures by analyzing real-time data from the sensors and monitoring systems. This allows proactive planning of maintenance, based on the actual condition of the machines, instead of following a fixed schedule. This data-driven approach saves costs through reduced downtime and increased overall productivity, as well as longer production line life.
Optimization of production
Dashboards allow you to compare production line and product data onsite or remotely, providing key insights for optimization. This enables you to make informed professional decisions along your value chain to increase the product quality as well as profitability. You can continuously track the progress of optimization measures and present them with visualized advanced reports.
