REFLEX AC
Open Cassette Wafer Defect Inspection Equipment

Description

The REFLEX AC automatic open cassette product series is an automated inspection tool for detecting, classifying and quantifying particles, scratches, area defects and micro-roughness (haze) on unpatterned wafers. Different wafer substrates, materials and sizes of up to 200 mm diameter can be measured. The REFLEX AC can be operated as a bridge tool for two wafer sizes. The automated handling of different open cassette types and integrated notch and flat alignment allows wide flexibility for using Reflex AC in various environments that include R&D, production, and quality inspection.
