Argos – High Throughput Macro Inspection:

MueTec's High Throughput Macro Defect Inspection products are designed for customers with many different wafer types that intend to replace manual inspection. The system is easy to operate and does not require to write any recipes. It also enables 100% inspection of all wafer during the process of lithography with a throughput that is equal to, or faster that of a lithography cluster. In consequence, we enable our customers to move from sample inspection to inspection of all wafer and from manual inspection by operators to a statistically reliable, automated inspection process. Our tools can easily be setup without using much floor space. Low acquisition and operating costs guarantee a fast return on invest.

380 mm framed wafer FOUP based handling

Optimized for multi-zone inspection of wafer, foil and frame. 

Data acquisition perfectly balanced to mechanical movements

Simultaneous brightfield and dark field inspection

No recipe required for ease of use

 

Rembrandt – High Resolution Macro Inspection:

While the Argos products are designed for high throughput at lower resolutions, the Rembrandt products are designed for high resolution macro defect inspection from 1μm to 4μm in optical resolution.
