Camtek announce new AOI system

The Falcon 600 for MEMS and other special applications is Camtek's latest addition to its line of automated optical inspection (AOI) systems for the semiconductor manufacturing and packaging industries. The new model is dedicated to applications that require special handling and inspection capabilities, such as optoelectronic devices, MEMS, wafer-level packaging, and glass substrates. The Falcon 600 was designed to meet the growing demand from customers for specialized inspection alongside mainstream semiconductor wafer inspection. With the Falcon 600, wafers on tape frames or expansion rings, as well as paper-thin wafers and thick WLP bonded wafers, can be handled and inspected automatically. The system supports both framed and non-framed wafers on a single platform. In the recent years, Camtek Falcons have won a significant share in the semiconductor AOI equipment market with major IDMs and subcontractors, including the majority of top IC suppliers. The Falcon family also includes the Falcon 800 for 3D and 2D bumped wafer metrology and inspection, Falcon 500 for probe mark and general wafer inspection and the Falcon 500PD for post-dicing inspection.
