CIQTEK Launches 8-inch Wafer Dual-Beam Solution for Full-Size Observation, Precision Cutting, and Comprehensive Processing

As semiconductor manufacturing advances to finer process nodes, wafer-level defect analysis, failure location, and micro-nano fabrication have become key to improving yield. CIQTEK introduces the 8-inch Wafer Dual-Beam Full-Size Processing Solution, combining high-resolution imaging and precise ion beam processing to achieve "observation-analysis-cutting" across the entire wafer, providing strong technical support for advanced semiconductor processes.

 

This solution features a 150mm long-stroke high-precision sample stage, enabling full-wafer, non-destructive observation and processing of 8-inch wafers. With an external optical navigation system and intelligent anti-collision algorithms, it ensures rapid and precise wafer positioning and safe operation. The system is equipped with a Schottky field emission electron gun, offering a resolution of 0.9 nm @ 15kV, and an ion beam resolution of 3 nm @ 30kV, capable of defect detection, cross-section slicing, and micro-structure fabrication at the nanoscale.

 

Core Advantages:

  • 150mm Travel Stage:
    • Combines long travel with high precision for an extensive observation range.

    • Excellent compatibility with different-sized fixtures.

    • Robust structure ensures wafer stability and quick, reliable loading.

  • 8-inch Quick Exchange:
    • Intelligent weight-bearing design with a sliding base for stability and durability.

    • Full-size compatibility: Supports 2/4/6/8-inch wafers.

    • Fast sample exchange: Vacuum pumping and sample loading within one minute.

  • Software and Anti-Collision:
    • Fully automatic intelligent navigation with accurate movement and positioning.

    • Multi-axis coordinated motion for full-wafer observation.

    • Smart anti-collision: Trajectory simulation and algorithmic spatial calculations to avoid risks.

    • Multiple real-time monitoring: Real-time multi-angle monitoring of wafer position.

  • External Optical Navigation:

    • Ultra-stable structure design suppresses image shake.

    • High-definition imaging with a precise field of view for full-wafer display.

    • Professional anti-glare lighting reduces wafer surface reflection.
