Wafer line
In the inline wafer backend process the sawn wafer blocks are first pre-cleaned with a new technique (Ceramic Beam) and deglued, then transported for singulation and cleaned again. A pick+place robot transfers the wafers to the Schmid Metrology Sorter System for classification. Here the wafers are inspected according to various criteria and sorted into polystyrene transport boxes.
