Enhancing Chip Manufacturing Efficiency with KLA YieldStar Die Sorting and Inspection System

Efficient Inspection Process for Die Assembly

KLA's die sorting and inspection system plays a vital role in the chip manufacturing process by offering inspection before die assembly. This proactive approach allows engineers to quickly detect any issues that may arise during the dicing process of wafer-level packages and bare dies. With the continuous evolution of wafer-level packaging technologies introducing new materials that are prone to cracking during dicing, such as low k materials in fan-in wafer-level packages, the need for comprehensive inspection solutions is paramount. By leveraging KLA's system, chip manufacturers can significantly reduce production risks associated with defects during die sorting, ensuring a higher outgoing quality to the next step in the assembly process.

Advanced Technology for Accurate Detection

The ICOS™ F260 die sorting and inspection system by KLA sets a new standard in high-performance die sorting and integrated inspection for diced wafer-level packages. This cutting-edge system features a state-of-the-art short wave IR inspection module that enables reliable detection of hairline and sidewall cracks while minimizing overkill and underkill errors, even at high throughput rates. Additionally, the ICOS F260 system offers a specialized laser groove inspection module with exceptional sensitivity to invisible laser groove cracks, crucial defects in advanced fan-in wafer-level packages, memory, and bare dies. With its flexibility in supporting various workflows like wafer-to-tape and tape-to-tape, the ICOS F260 system ensures minimal changeover time, optimizing tool utilization in high-volume manufacturing environments.
