Kinetek Inkless Inspection Station

Kinetek eliminates die inking
The Inkless Inspection Station was developed specifically to address post-dicing inspection requirements and to eliminate the need for inking bad die. This station  can read in a variety of electrical test data including any updated information from first optical inspection. The operator can do an overall inspection of the wafer and/or scan the streets to inspect die for chip and crack damage from the saw process. Kerf width and straightness can be monitored as well. Street selection for inspection can be determined from a pre-programmed inspection routine or by interactive operator selection (both front and back). Bad die information is then electronically added to the data file, which is then made available to yield management or other tools via Ethernet or disk.

Microscope options  Unlike some of our competitors, we aren't limited to a particular brand of microscope. The stations can be configured with a variety of optical microscopes using various imaging solutions along with live video on modern, high-resolution, flat-panel displays.
Ergonomic, user-friendly design
The station features user-friendly operation and SEMI-compliant ergonomic design.
Hardware options  Options include a single or dual arm robot capable of flipping the wafer for backside inspection. Special end effectors for gripping steel frames are available for handling mounted wafers. Staging option and optical configurations can vary to suit the application.
Flexibility  Kinetek Inkless Stations can be changed easily and quickly to accommodate other sets of classification criteria. Wafer map data can be downloaded from various sources for immediate inspection. The bin codes are user-defined, and the revised wafer map can be uploaded to your database or other destination for immediate use.
Supporting control software Supporting hardware control software is developed and tested in-house on a station configured to your specifications so you are assured that your station performs as it should.  
Inkless Inspection software options
When configured to your specifications and coupled with the latest Kinetek inspection software applications, the Inkless stations can provide you with the right solution for your optical inspection needs. The recommended Kinetek software for this application is Kinetek Inkless Inspection.
