E-beam wafer inspection system refers to a semiconductor fabrication tool based on electron beam scanning of integrated circuit (IC) components or wafers. It is used for detecting any defects in the wafers before final packaging and is ideal for scanning small sections of a die to identify specific hard-to-detect systematic and random defects. The inspection system scans the wafer and determines coordinates of the defects by comparing it to the image of the adjacent dies. This technique is commonly used while manufacturing compact gadgets, smartphones, laptops and tablets. It is also used for lithographic qualification, wafer dispositioning and reticle quality optimization.
