Hawk Inspection and Measurement System wins Wafer Inspection Order

Feb. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Vision Engineering is a British company with over 50 years in designing and manufacturing ergonomic stereo inspection microscopes and non-contact optical and video measuring solutions.

The Hawk inspection system is being utilised to inspect wafers for  integrated electronic circuits and other micro devices, and is a preferred choice because of its superior ergonomic design and high resolution optical image.  Adopted into the inspection team who now have seven systems, the Hawk enables the users to quickly and efficiently process the wafers, under x200 magnification.  The wafers are processed under the Hawk system to make sure the coatings, holding the 200,000 chips in place, are without defects.  Initially inspected using x200 magnification, the Hawk enables users to increase the magnification when required, to x500 and x1000.  

Originally, the inspection team were relying on a Nikon Wafer Inspection System but required a system offering greater ergonomics with the same good quality optical image, with the colour, contrast and clarity they were used to.  The Hawk inspection system has been designed by Vision Engineering to offer a high standard in microscopy optics with the advantage of an eyepieceless viewer, replacing the conventional microscope eyepieces. Essentially, the operator can inspect the wafer through a viewing head, allowing them to inspect in comfort, without fatigue, promoting better accuracy and productivity. The patented technology adopted by Vision Engineering to optimise operator comfort has been an award winning triumph, with large blue chip companies investing in their range of products in the electronics industry, worldwide.
