DR-SEM
DEFECT REVIEW
With or without FIB
Metrex supports the full Applied Materials SEMVision® Defect Review SEM (DR-SEM) product family, providing service, parts, and lifecycle support for platforms used as integral components of semiconductor production lines. These systems enable high-throughput, fully automated in-line analysis of defects as small as 30 nm. Defects—such as particles, scratches, or residues—are first identified by a defect detection system, then reviewed and classified on the wafer to determine their origin and impact on yield.
For applications requiring deeper analysis, select SEMVision configurations integrate advanced DR-SEM capability with automated focused ion beam (FIB) technology. This enables rapid cross-sectional analysis of reviewed defects, allowing chipmakers to perform root-cause analysis in minutes without removing wafers from the production flow.
Through comprehensive service, remanufacturing, and parts support, Metrex helps extend the operational life of SEMVision DR-SEM platforms—minimizing downtime, preserving tool capability, and maximizing long-term value.
DR-SEM (With or without FIB)
The Defect Review Scanning Electron Microscope (DR-SEM) provides advanced defect imaging and analysis capabilities for semiconductor substrates, advanced packaging, and high-volume manufacturing (HVM) environments.
Equipped with our patent-pending Z-stage, the DR-SEM offers exceptional versatility—enabling the processing of wafers of varying thicknesses up to 2,000 microns without compromising imaging accuracy or system stability.
Supported Wafer Sizes:
150 mm (6″), 200 mm (8″), 300 mm (12″).
FEATURES
