The Camtek Orion 404 AOI is an automated optical inspection system.[1]
What it is
The Camtek Orion 404 is an automated optical inspection (AOI) system.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn AOI system typically employs high-resolution cameras, specialized optics, and controlled illumination to acquire images of the inspected surface. The system then compares captured images to reference patterns or design data using image-processing algorithms designed to identify anomalies such as particles, scratches, pattern distortions, or foreign material.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAOI equipment is placed after critical process steps in the fabrication flow, such as lithography, etching, deposition, or chemical-mechanical planarization. The inspection provides rapid feedback to detect process excursions or defects before wafers proceed to subsequent steps, reducing scrap and improving yield. Downstream, defective locations may be reviewed manually or by a review station, and the wafer may be reworked or scrapped depending on the defect type.
