AST-IR Workstation

NIR/SWIR Metrology & Inspection Workstation

The NIR/SWIR Metrology & Inspection Workstation provides powerful subsurface imaging capabilities in a compact, versatile platform. This workstation penetrates through silicon and other wafer materials to reveal hidden structures, alignment issues, and defects with exceptional clarity. By harnessing advanced infrared imaging technology, the system delivers critical visualization for semiconductor, MEMS, and microelectronics applications where seeing beyond the surface is essential.

The AST NIR/SWIR Microscope Workstation combines sophisticated optical systems with intuitive controls to address demanding inspection requirements. The system features recipe-selectable optical filters and programmable illumination controls to optimize contrast for a wide range of materials and applications. The workstation architecture provides an ideal balance of performance and accessibility for research, development, and low-volume production environments. With its advanced vision tool library, the system enables precise geometric measurements and pattern recognition capabilities for comprehensive analysis.
