Using Deep Learning ADC For Defect Classification For Automatic Defect Inspection
By Onto Innovation - 14 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

In traditional semiconductor packaging, manual defect review after automated optical inspection (AOI) is an arduous task for operators and engineers, involving review of both good and bad die. It is hard to avoid human errors when reviewing millions of defect images every day, and as a result, underkill or overkill of die can occur. Automatic defect classification (ADC) can reduce the number of... » read more

Using Automatic Defect Classification To Reduce The Escape Rate Of Defects
By Bryce Chi - 09 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Automated optical inspection (AOI) is a cornerstone in semiconductor manufacturing, assembly and testing facilities, and as such, it plays a crucial role in yield management and process control. Traditionally, AOI generates millions of defect images, all of which are manually reviewed by operators. This process is not only time-consuming but error prone due to human involvement and fatigue, whi... » read more
