CyberOptics Corporation will exhibit at SEMICON West, July 9-11, 2019 in booth #5769 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
During the show, the company will launch its new WaferSense Auto Vibration and Leveling Sensor (AVLS3) with CyberSpectrum software. Semiconductor fabs and OEMs value the accuracy, precision and versatility of the WaferSense AVLS3—the most efficient and effective wireless measurement device for leveling andvibration.
At only 3.5mm, AVLS3 can travel with ease to most fab locations where a wafer travels. The chemically hardened glass (CHG) substrate enables smooth wafer handling and improved vacuum chucking. With long-range wireless capability, AVLS3 combined with new, easy-to-use CyberSpectrum software, collects and displays both leveling and vibration data simultaneously for fast equipment set-up, alignment and real-time equipment diagnostics.
“Engineers in the front-end of the fab can speed equipment qualification, shorten equipment maintenance cycles, lower equipment maintenance expenses and enhance process uniformity,”said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, president and CEO, CyberOptics Corporation, “As with other WaferSense devices widely used across fabs world-wide, AVLS3 can significantly improve yields and tool uptime.”
Additionally, formid-end and advanced packaging inspection and measurement, CyberOptics will demonstrate the new proprietary NanoResolution Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) sensor technology that meticulously identifies and rejects multiple reflections caused by shiny components and mirror-like surfaces.
Effective suppression of multiple reflections is critical for highly accurate measurements. Offering an unparalleled combination of high accuracy, high resolution and speed, MRS sensors are widely used for inspection and measurement in the SMT, semiconductor and metrologymarkets. The new 3-micron NanoResolution MRS sensor enables metrologygrade accuracy with superior 100% 2D and 3D inspection performance for features as small as 25-micron. Further, it is two to three times faster than alternate solutions in the marketplace. With data processing speeds in excess of 75 million 3D points per second, the NanoResolution MRS sensordelivers throughput greater than 25 wafers (300mm) per hour.
100% 2D and 3D inspection can be completed simultaneouslyat high speed,versus an alternate, slow method that requires twoseparate scans for 2D and 3D, and only a sampling of a few dies of the 25 wafers. This best-in-class MRS sensor technology is ideally suited for the inspection of CPU sockets, IC package,solder balls and bumps, copper pillars, and other advanced packaging and mid-end semiconductor applications where high precision and speed are needed.

06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
