Metrology Under Pressure: Detecting Defects in Fine-Pitch Hybrid Bonding


As advanced packaging pushes deeper into the sub-10µm realm, traditional inspection and metrology systems are being forced to evolve with it. Hybrid bonding, a critical enabler of vertical integration and 3D system performance, relies on exceptionally tight alignment and defect-free bonding surfaces. But as interconnect pitch shrinks, even nanometer-scale variations in height, tilt, or cont... » read more
