SIMI VALLEY, Calif., July
2 /PRNewswire/ -- McBain Systems of Simi
Valley announced that it will be exhibiting at the Semicon West
show in San Francisco later this month.
McBain will show its recently introduced near-infrared (NIR) defect
detection and review (DDR) stations as well as its automated wafer
handling systems.
McBain's DDR300 NIR
system, http://www.mcbainsystems.com/McBainNearInfraredDefect.php,
which is able to "see" through silicon and other materials, was
recently installed in a major semiconductor fab in Kulim, Malaysia, to check for subsurface cracks and
other defects in flip-chip devices. The DDR300 NIR operates in the
spectral range between 900nm and 1700nm and is touted as having the
highest resolution of any instrument in its class. The system is
available in two models, for inspecting 200mm and 300mm wafers. Photo: http://www.ereleases.com/pic/2010-McBain-DDR300-NIR.jpg
Also on display will be
McBain's unique wafer loading systems: http://www.mcbainsystems.com/McBainWaferHandling.php.
These units provide streamlined, semiautomated loading of wafers and
may be used with a range of optical inspection systems. These compact,
economically priced systems are easily integrated and provide
throughputs of over 750 wafers per hour. McBain offers two models to
handle a range of wafer sizes, from 3-inch to 8-inch.
The Semicon West show
will be held at the Moscone Center in San
Francisco, July 13-15. McBain
