CyberOptics Demos Extended Sensing Capability in Airborne Particle Sensor at SEMICON Korea
February 7, 2017 | CyberOptics CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
CyberOptics Corporation is demonstrating its next-generation Airborne Particle Sensor technology (APS2) with an extended particle size range at SEMICON Korea, which is being held February 8-10 at the COEX in Seoul. CyberOptics is at Booth 2220.
CyberOptics' APS2 portfolio speeds equipment set-up and long-term yields in semiconductor fabs by wirelessly monitoring airborne particles in real-time. The next-generation APS2 provides even greater versatility, with the industry-leading accuracy and sensitivity valued by semiconductor fabs and equipment OEMs worldwide.
Both the WaferSense and ReticleSense Airborne Particle Sensors (APS2, APSR and APSRQ) can measure small and large particles. The new large particle detecting and measurement functionality covers a range of sizes with four bins for particles larger than 2, 5, 10 and 30 microns.
"Our APS2 sensors are widely used to detect, identify and monitor airborne particles in the leading semiconductor fabs around the globe," said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, President and CEO, CyberOptics. "Extending the measurement capability range in the same device provides an efficient solution for our customers that improves yields."
At SEMICON Korea, CyberOptics will also demonstrate its WaferSense and ReticleSense Auto Multi Sensors (AMS/AMSR) that measure leveling, vibration, and relative humidity (RH) in an all-in-one wireless real-time device. The thin and light form factor enables the AMS to travel through virtually any tool and the AMSR can capture multiple measurements in all locations of the reticle environment. The all-in-one devices are yet another way to increase yield and reduce downtime in semiconductor environments.
About the WaferSense and ReticleSense Line
The WaferSense measurement portfolio including the Auto Leveling System (ALS), the Auto Gapping System (AGS), the Auto Vibration System (AVS), the Auto Teaching System (ATS), the Airborne Particle Sensor (APS), the advanced Airborne Particle Sensor (APS2) and the new Auto Multi Sensor (AMS) are available in various wafer shaped form factors depending on the device, including 150mm, 200mm and 300mm wafer sizes. The ReticleSense measurement portfolio including the Airborne Particle Sensor (APSR & APSRQ) and next-generation APS2, the Auto Leveling System (ALSR) and the Auto Multi Sensor (AMSR) are available in a reticle shaped form factor.

Smart Automation: When It’s Time to Replace SMT Equipment
12/10/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationPreventive maintenance is a foundation of a strong electronics manufacturing operation. It keeps production stable, ensures uptime, and protects a manufacturer’s investment. But even with the best maintenance programs, every machine reaches a point where reliability alone isn’t enough. The challenge isn’t whether your line can keep running; it’s knowing when it’s time to modernize.

December 2025 Design007 Magazine: Designing Your Work and Your Life
12/08/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEvery PCB design is a lesson in balance: speed vs. stability, density vs. clarity, performance vs. cost. What if we approached life with that same mindset? In the December issue of Design007 Magazine, we go beyond board design to show how designers, marketers, managers, and owners apply their professional skills to personal choices—and what it costs when that system is left to drift.
