CyberOptics to Feature Yield-Improving Auto Teaching Systems During SEMICON Europa
October 7, 2022 | CyberOptics CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
CyberOptics Corporation, a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-precision 3D sensing technology solutions, will exhibit at SEMICON Europa 2022, scheduled to take place November 15-18, 2022 at the Messe Munchen in Munich, Germany. The company will feature its next-generation WaferSense Auto Teaching System (ATS2), the new ReticleSense Auto Teaching System (ATSR) and the In-Line Particle Sensor in Booth #C1101.
ATS2 and ATSR are multi camera sensors used with CyberSpectrum™ software to teach accurate wafer and reticle hand-off¬ calibration for proper alignment and set-up of semiconductor tools. The sensors "see" inside to capture three dimensional o¬ff-set data (x, y and z) in real-time to quickly teach wafer and reticle transfer positions - all without opening the tools. Process and equipment engineers can conduct repeatable and reproducible setups and maintenance checks, speed trouble-shooting and eliminate technician-to-technician variation.
The company will also feature the In-Line Particle Sensor (IPS) with CyberSpectrum™ software that detects particles in gas and vacuum lines 24/7 down to 0.1µm. The sensor is particularly relevant for EUVL tools to monitor particles in-line. The device is an extension of the industry-leading Airborne Particle Sensor (APS/APSRQ) technology that is documented by fabs as the Best-Known Method (BKM).
WaferSense and ReticleSense sensors are widely used for various applications including leveling, vibration, gapping, relative humidity, resistance and airborne particles. Semiconductor fabs worldwide rely on these real-time measurement sensors to improve yields, processes and tool uptime.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.
