  • Abstract
    We present a low cost optical macro inspection system for the wafer edge. The system is able to inspect the full wafer edge (front-, backside and apex) and provides a short feedback loop to the unit processes. Furthermore the use of image processing methods enables inspection without additional time loss. This inspection system can be installed on all wafer rotating tools with free space for hardware installation.
