The C205 broadband plasma optical defect inspection system enables systematic defect discovery and latent reliability defect detection for chip manufacturing for the automotive, IoT, 5G and consumer electronics markets. The C205 leverages a tunable broadband illumination source, advanced optics and a low noise sensor to capture systematic defects, helping accelerate characterization and optimization of new processes, design nodes and devices during R&D. NanoPoint™ technology focuses inspection on pattern areas at high risk for reliability failures, delivering actionable defect data that helps reduce die overkill. In production, the C205 monitors critical layers requiring high sensitivity, helping fabs avoid defect excursions that affect final chip quality. The C205 is an extendible, configurable platform supporting both 200mm and 300mm wafer sizes.
