2 Review and inspection of non visible subsurface defects Non visible and subsurface defects, such as microcracks and microvoids, as well as defects associated with manufacturing often go undetected. Heavy doping during the manufacturing process can make non destructive review and inspection of wafer and chip packages very difficult. Standard wide field inspection tools are available using Near Infrared (NIR) or Infrared (IR) illumination sources. However, these systems are not able to penetrate deep nor are they able to selectively image at a specific plane of focus. 2.5mm Square Grid, 0.75mm Spacing, 5μm Line Width imaged with 20X at surface 2.5mm Square Grid, 0.75mm Spacing, 5μm Line Width imaged with 20X through 700μm thick silicon wafer 20X Image of 200 LPM Ronchi Ruling imaged at 20X Image of 200 LPM Ronchi Ruling imaged surface through 700μm thick silicon wafer A Near-Infrared Confocal Microscope capable of subsurface through silicon interior inspection The combination of a powerful Near-Infrared Laser and a Scanning Confocal Microscope offers several unique advantages over conventional wide-field IR microscopy systems. First and foremost is the ability to in image high resolution sub surface thin sections or optically slice within transparent and semi-opaque samples. This combination also results in deeper penetration of the target, greater resolution and faster image collection. 10X Image of wafer pattern imaged at surface 10X Image of wafer pattern imaged through 700μm wafer from backside 20X Image of wafer pattern imaged at surface 20X Image of wafer pattern imaged through 700μm wafer from backside

3 Nondestructive imaging of, IC chips, MEMS, and various other semiconductor devices Unlike conventional inspection systems, the IRLC DEEP SEE utilizes a Near-IR laser and IR optics ideal for non-destructive subsurface interior investigation of silicon wafers, IC chips, MEMS, Solar Panels, and other devices. By taking advantage of the IR transmission characteristics of silicon, the IRLC DEEP SEE is able to conduct high resolution subsurface inspection of features that cannot be seen any other way. Typical applications include integrity inspection after bonding, Sacrificial Oxide Layer Inspection after etching, inspection for chipping and cracks after grinding or dicing or inspecting SIP (System In Package), 3D Mounting or CSP (Chip Scale Package).

4 Fully motorized hardware and Near-IR optics make confocal imaging easy The IRLC includes a full automation package including precision motorization of the XY stage, objective lens turret, illumination, ND filter selection and Z position. To ensure the clearest and sharpest images during subsurface inspection, the system includes a complete set of Olympus Near-IR Long Working Distance Objectives. Designed for optimal transmission of Near-IR wavelengths, the objectives are ideal for inspecting internal structures of silicon wafers and include correction collars to adjust for varying thickness of surface glass or silicon. One Click dual observation continually in focus The IRLC includes a colour CMOS camera and LED illumination system for bright field imaging allowing operators to quickly locate areas of interest. For subsurface inspection the system features a Near-Infrared laser and scanning confocal microscope. This combination permits deeper imaging into the sample, up to 800μm below the surface. Switching between these observation methods is a one click process. Because the IRLC uses WDI s Autofocus 6 Sensor (ATF6), Optical Offset Adjuster (OOA) and fast Z Axis Actuator (ZAA) technologies it remains in constant focus regardless of changes in observation method or surface metrology. 20X brightfield surface Image of Thin Film Transistor (TFT) array with transistors hidden under the black matrix 20X NIR Confocal image of Thin Film Transistor array revealing the transistor structure beneath the black matrix

5 Intuitive software means less time learning and more time imaging The IRLC includes powerful yet intuitive software, designed to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the inspection and review process. Basic operation of the system, including parameter adjustments for illumination, magnification, XYZ stage position and focus offset is easily achieved. XY stage navigation can be carried out using either the software, the joystick or simply by clicking on the live image. Linear XY measurement capability & advanced image acquisition Linear XY point to point and point to multipoint measurements are available through the measurements tab within the software. Measurements are recorded and populated in tabular form within the software and may be exported as.csv for further analysis. The system also features advanced image acquisition options allowing frame averaging, Averaged Image, maximum Z projection Delta Z Overlay and the capture of a sequence of images in between two points Image Sequence Capture. Example of point to multipoint measurements on a captured image. Also shown are Averaged Image, Delta Z and Image Sequence Capture tool interface.

6 Completely automated inspection routines By combining the IRLCs integrated motorization and autofocus with its automation control software it can be configured to conduct completely automated inspection routines. Through the simple and intuitive user interface various individual location parameters such as ROI, magnification, depth and illumination intensity settings can be defined. These routines can be run for multiple samples, permitting the complete automation of the inspection process. Example of Unit routine creation detailing various imaging ROIs and their associated magnifications and imaging parameters. Also shown is an overview map indicating the relative position of each ROI and its associated magnification. Recipe creation for high throughput inspection The IRLC also features the ability to create and execute complete inspection recipes for wafers and both IC strip and tray packages. Defining wafer, tray or strip and IC parameters is made simple through a graphic interface. The corner detection feature automates IC location registration, regardless of alignment. Once created, these recipes can be executed against other individual samples, or entire trays or strips of devices, ensuring accurate and repeatable inspection and greater overall efficiency. Shown left an example of Tray/Strip editor where details associated with format and size of a particular recipe can be entered. Selection and deselection of a particular IC is a simple click. Once unit and tray/strip recipes have been created they can be run together as a completely automated process
