Advantage:
The UNISERS nanocoater enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of particles (defects) on wafers enabling detection limits of 8nm for detection and 50nm for molecular speciation. The coating has a low chemical adhesion to the substrate (wafer) and standard semiconductor wet cleaning chemicals can be used to recycle the wafer.
1. Detection limit: 8nm
2. Molecular speciation down to 50nm
3. True size (material in dependent size estimation)
4. Works on any flat unpatterned wafer including transparent
5. Time and cost efficient workflow: Wafer inspection and review with one tool
6. Small footprint
7. Website: https://unisers.ch/
1. Wafer size : From 1 inch to 12 inch (including wafer coupons)
