Silicon ingot & wafer quality
Review crystal-origin defects, surface particles, and saw damage before wafers enter the process flow.
Example outputs shown for illustration. Numbers depend on your samples and protocol.

What you get
The measurement, today
Ingot and incoming-wafer review often reduces a large surface to a few manual fields. Small chips, particles, and visible crystal defects are recorded inconsistently, making supplier comparisons difficult.
What it costs
Material defects that enter the line can confound later process review. A retained image record makes the incoming condition visible when a downstream excursion needs to be traced.
From image to reviewed result
- 1
Capture the material
Load incoming-wafer, ingot, or surface images from the inspection method your group already uses.
- 2
Set the measurement scale
Use the instrument scale or a known reference so finding dimensions report in real units.
- 3
Review visible findings
Segment visible particles, chips, scratches, and crystal-origin features into a reviewable map.
- 4
Compare lots
Export image-linked counts and size distributions for lot-to-lot review.
Scope: Measures features visible in supplied images. Crystal perfection, contamination chemistry, and material acceptance require the complementary metrology and qualification methods used by your site.
