Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBrightfield inspection equipment captures images of wafer surfaces under uniform illumination. Defects appear as contrast variations in the captured image. The technique is widely used for detecting particles, scratches, and pattern anomalies.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe system typically uses a stage that moves the wafer in precise steps to scan the entire surface. Optics are designed for high resolution and contrast. The inspection algorithms classify defect types and sizes based on their optical signatures.
