CIRCL™-AP is a cluster tool with multiple modules, covering all-surface inspection, metrology and review at high throughput for efficient advanced wafer-level packaging (AWLP) process control. The CIRCL-AP tool is utilized for multiple AWLP applications requiring high sensitivity including 2.5D/3D integration, wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP). With support for bonded, thinned and warped substrates, CIRCL-AP provides production-proven process control and monitoring strategies for Cu-pillars, bumps, through silicon vias (TSVs), redistribution layer (RDL), hybrid bonding and other packaging process flows. The latest CIRCL-AP system supports a broader range of wafer thicknesses for both the front side wafer inspection and metrology module, as well as the optical review module.
