Optical Metrology Solutions for the Semiconductor and Microelectronic Industries
Wed, Jul 31, 2019 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Sensofar Metrology, will discuss specific analysis for QC in PCB applications. It will also cover critical dimensional measurement, roughness, and defect identification. It will discuss solutions pertaining to ISO 4287, ISO 25178, and how Sensofar's proprietary software quickly identifies profiles, roughness parameters, and defects for surface texture, height, and traces. The focus will be on imaging wafers, pads, step heights, bonds, and probe cards.
