Opto-mechatronic systems are getting smaller and require higher accuracy. Improved surface particle cleanliness and defectivity control, preferably below the micrometer range, is required to keep performance and yield at the same level. To fill this need, the Fastmicro Product Scanner is developed to measure surface particle contamination levels directly on large product surfaces such as blank wafers, backside of wafers, reticles, pellicles (top & bottom), displays and other products.
At Photomask Technology 2022 Fastmicro presented the applicability of the Product Scanner to measure high-end EUV pellicles, including its future roadmap. This manuscript describes tests and results of several (pellicle) measurements over the last year and the next generation Product Scanner with its improved capabilities like:
- Improved sensitivity towards 200nm
- Pellicle pinhole detection
- Organic / non-organic particle detection
Opto-mechatronic systems are getting smaller and require higher accuracy. Improved surface particle cleanliness and defectivity control, preferably below the micrometer range, is required to keep performance and yield at the same level. To fill this need, the Fastmicro Product Scanner is developed to measure surface particle contamination levels directly on a large product surface: such as blank wafers, backside of wafers, reticles, both sides of pellicles, displays and other products.
This manuscript describes the investigation of the applicability of the Fastmicro Product Scanner
• as particle detection tool
• as part of a hybrid particle qualification tool with the Fastmicro Product Scanner taking care of the particle detection and particle location measurement.
• for various types of samples
