FormFactor Introduces High Throughput Panel Metrology and Inspection System for Advanced Packaging
FRT MicroProf® PT Automates Measurement to Reduce Processing Costs on Panels up to 600mm x 600mm
FoPLP and other advanced package techniques stack several semiconductor dies into a single heterogeneous package using connection elements such as microbumps, TSVs (through-silicon vias), and interposers. In device development, the new MicroProf PT with SurfaceSens™ technology incorporates a variety of high-precision sensor options to measure the shape of these inter-die connections, as well as thickness, roughness and other characteristics of the film and metal layers that make up each device. Fully integrating into factory floor automation with SECS/GEM protocols, the tool can also deliver essential defect inspection data for process control and yield improvement.
The MicroProf PT is the latest addition to FormFactor’s Advanced Packaging metrology product family, complementing its established wafer-level packaging product, the MicroProf AP. Its key features include:
- Metrology and defect inspection applications in one tool
- Full automation with two loaders for panel FOUPs, for panels up to 600mm x 600mm
- Multi-sensor setup including topography, field-of-view and film thickness with hybrid software evaluation to evaluate highly complex structures
- Film thickness measurements from micron-range down to tens of nanometers
- Wide range of handling capability – from substrates a few millimeters thick to 200µm, including organic and glass
“Innovation in advanced packaging is rapidly advancing process capability, with large-format panel substrates providing an important cost-reduction trajectory,” said
