Overview

CRUMPATT | Spatial Signature Analysis

TARGOSS™ SPATIAL SIGNATURE ANALYSIS analyses defect inspection data and identifies spatial defect signatures. These can result from process- respectively machine-problems which produce single defects, scratches, circles or other defect clusters as singular or repetitive defects on the wafer or in the exposure field.

TARGOSS™ SPATIAL SIGNATURE ANALYSIS identifies these signatures and is able to classify them. Thus TARGOSS SPATIAL SIGNATURE ANALYSIS automates the defect analysis and is an indispensable and reliable tool in a yield management system.

TARGOSS™ SPATIAL SIGNATURE ANALYSIS allows to detect process and equipment problems automatically and timely and secures a high yield. In addition, decisions for maintenance tasks can be actively implemented. Thus periodically arising PM's (sometimes too early, sometimes too late) can be avoided.

TARGOSS™ SPATIAL SIGNATURE ANALYSIS applies self-tuning algorithms.

  • Unique multi engine concept
  • Comprehensive set of built-in local and global signatures
  • Superior noise and image discrimination
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) and fuzzy logic to handle noise and variation
  • Substrate/defect visualization and complex data query
  • Easy to use, straighforward draw and click interface
  • Optional manual definition or learn mode of defect signature
  • Engineering search and fully automatic production mode with warning capability
  • Auto tuning opportunity
  • Full inspection history capability
  • Option for off-line data analysis
