Rudolph Technologies, Inc. has announced its NSX 115 automated macro defect inspection tool has been selected by a major European fab.
Rudolph Technologies, Inc. has announced its NSX 115 automated macro defect inspection tool has been selected by a major European fab.The selection was made after a rigorous competitive evaluation that focused on the speed, sensitivity, gauge capability and flexibility needed to meet the 100-percent inspection and zero-defect requirements now prevalent in the automotive industry. This is the second NSX inspection system installed at this site. Demand for fast, automated macro defect inspection is expected to increase as automotive manufacturers worldwide require 100-percent inspection from their semiconductor suppliers."The NSX has proven to be highly effective as an quality monitor, and equally important, as a source of critical data about defectivity rates and distributions that is unavailable with manual inspection," said Nathan Little, executive vice president and general manager of Rudolph's Inspection Business Unit. "In this situation, the most important consideration was high throughput."
