Introduction to Solutions for the Semiconductor Industry

16/10/2023

Semiconductor manufacturing is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. Today’s manufacturers must rely on effective process monitoring – but conventional measurement methods alone can no longer guarantee the required quality standards.

This is why measuring force, pressure, and acceleration is emerging as an important factor in many front-end and back-end manufacturing processes: grinding, dicing, polishing, CMP, wafer handling, die sorting, wire bonding, flip-chip, molding and encapsulation, pick-and-place handling, testing – and more. Piezoelectric dynamic measurement is the technology of choice for measuring, monitoring, and controlling mechanical stress, vibration, and pressure deviation in order to improve quality assurance and productivity in semiconductor manufacturing.

Molding and encapsulation

Process monitoring with force measurement technology delivers real added value for semiconductor manufacturing. “Making the invisible visible” - the key to overcoming the challenges of tomorrow’s world.

Piezoelectric measurement technology from Kistler ensures high-resolution monitoring and control of the forces acting in semiconductor manufacturing processes - no matter how small they are.

Conventional measurement may not be able to access force as a physical quantity that can cause equipment faults - but piezoelectric force measurement “makes the invisible visible”.

Process visibility based on dynamic force measurement technology provides impressive benefits for semiconductor manufacturing:

  • Early detection of mechanical stress deviations
  • Precise downforce control with closed-loop control
  • Product traceability and process optimization
  • Improved machine efficiency
  • Reduced quality costs
