“Crystal Edge™”, Accretech’s new automated wafer edge inspection system, uses proprietary image acquisition and processing technologies to capture yield killer defects. It is specially designed to inspect defects in wafer edge regions: top near surface, top bevel, apex, bottom bevel and bottom near surface. Engineers and operators can also utilize Crystal Edge’s manual or automated review modes to visualize inspected defects.
