Back End Process
Achieve higher yields, enhanced traceability, and faster ROI with zero-defect quality chip production: Our combinable 2D and 3D analysis systems significantly improve quality assurance by inspecting all chips individually and evaluating the integrated circuit packaging. Integrated at the interface between the front-end and back-end, ISRA inspection systems detect defects in individual components at the wafer level and in the dicing frame. This 100% inspection ensures that only flawless material is sent to the customer.
Wafer Level Bonding
The downsizing of electronic devices is challenging semiconductor manufacturers to produce smaller component sizes while maintaining tighter process control requirements.
ISRA VISION's wafer inspection solutions for advanced wafer-level packaging ensure traceability throughout the semiconductor manufacturing process. Our systems provide superior quality control for improved device performance, enabling manufacturers to detect, resolve and monitor process deviations in a timely manner.

Re-Thinning
Re-thinning can introduce defects on the wafer's surface that can impact the performance and functionality of the final semiconductor device.
Therefore, optical inspection after re-thinning is crucial to detect defects that could impact device functionality.
Conducting optical inspection after the re-thinning process allows manufacturers to minimize the risk of defects and ensure that the final semiconductor devices meet the required performance and reliability standards. This helps to enhance the overall quality and yield of the semiconductor manufacturing process.

Post-Dicing Inspection
Dicing wafers carries the risk of defects in the dicing streets. Accurate inspection of the dicing street reliably detects these defects and minimizes the scrap rate of chips and dies. The DicingScan inspection tool provides 100% wafer inspection. High-performance line scan cameras precisely detect defects such as edge chippings in the dicing streets. In addition, the tool checks the presence, position, and completeness of the dicing streets.
With our patented MultiView imaging technology, which forms the basis of the WafQScan process, users can also inspect the rear side of the wafer through the carrier tape (foil). DicingScan ensures that only dies/chips of impeccable quality are processed.
Benefits
- Efficiency: Multiple inspection tasks in one scan
- 100% quality control: Only high-quality dies and chips are processed
- Features
- Typical defects
- Technical data
- Dicing street inspection immediately after dicing
- (Micro-)crack inspection on dies
- Check the position, integrity, and quality of dicing strees
- Front and rear side inspection, even through the carrier tape
- Uncompleted dicing
- Cracks
- Bubbles
- Releases
- Chip-outs
- MultiView technology with simultaneous image capturing
- Semi standard interface
Production analytics - Data-driven efficiency
The web-based production analytics platform allows you to check the system status of all production lines at a glance or analyze production data in detail. With the quality management system, you analyze historical data, monitor current inspection data in real-time, and identify future trends in your production process.
Early detection of production defects
Detect and quickly identify the cause of threshold value violations at every stage of production with live status information and automatic alerts. As a result you can quickly resolve production defects, shorten downtime, and reduce production costs.
Predictive maintenance
You can prevent potential system failures by analyzing real-time data from the sensors and monitoring systems. This allows proactive planning of maintenance, based on the actual condition of the machines, instead of following a fixed schedule. This data-driven approach saves costs through reduced downtime and increased overall productivity, as well as longer production line life.
Optimization of production
Dashboards allow you to compare production line and product data onsite or remotely, providing key insights for optimization. This enables you to make informed professional decisions along your value chain to increase the product quality as well as profitability. You can continuously track the progress of optimization measures and present them with visualized advanced reports.
