Fastmicro Particle Defect Inspection System (PDIS)

The Fastmicro Particle Defect Inspection System has been developed to measure surface particle contamination levels directly on a product’s surfaces in any industry. The primary applications are in Semiconductor (pellicles, reticles, wafers) and the display market. The inspection system has an unlimited scanning area due to its modular and scalable design.

The system can be customized, depending on the shape and position of the surface that needs to be tested. The scanner module is also available as a white label solution for system integrators.

​Applications

The Fastmicro Particle Defect Inspection System (PDIS) can be used for measurements of:

  • Pellicles (front and backside)
  • Reticles, photomasks (backside)
  • 6 / 8/ 12 inch Wafers (backside, blanks, bevels)
  • 3Di (e.g. copper to copper bonding)
  • Critical parts


Manual and Automated modular: 

Fit for each production process 

The modular Fastmicro Particle Defect Inspection System can be customized to suit each production qualification process or to fit into a production line. This can include clean and automated handling: package openers for inspection and cleaning, filling stations, robot arms, an inspection spot and a port for cleaning. 

The Fastmicro module allows for a scaled inspection surface to suit customer needs, without introducing extra imaging time and using limited floor space.​
