20110268344Apparatus For Detecting Micro-Cracks In Wafers And Method Therefor - A method and apparatus for wafer inspection is disclosed. The method and apparatus involve directing light substantially along a first axis towards a first surface of a wafer to thereby obtain light emanating along the first axis from a second surface of the wafer, wherein the first and second surfaces of the wafer are substantially outwardly opposing and substantially extending parallel to a plane. The method and apparatus further involve directing light substantially along a second axis towards the first surface of the wafer to thereby obtain light emanating along the second axis from the second surface of the wafer, the first axis being angled away from the second axis about a reference axis extending along the plane. More specifically, the orthographic projection of the first axis on the plane is substantially parallel to the orthographic projection of the second axis on the plane, and each the orthographic projections of the first and second axes on the plane is substantially orthogonal to the reference axis.11-03-2011
20100220186Method And System For Detecting Micro-Cracks In Wafers - An inspection method comprises receiving light emanating from a first surface of a wafer substantially along a first axis for obtaining a first image of the first surface therefrom, the wafer having a crack formed therein and the first image containing at least one portion of the crack. The inspection method also comprises receiving light emanating from the first surface of the wafer substantially along a second axis for obtaining a second image of the first surface therefrom, the second image containing at least one second portion of the crack, the first surface extending substantially parallel a plane, and the orthographic projection of the first axis on the plane being substantially perpendicular the orthographic projection of the second axis on the plane. The inspection method further comprises constructing a third image from the at least one first portion of the crack and the least one second portion of the crack of the first and second images respectively. More specifically, the third image is substantially processable for inspecting the crack in the wafer.09-02-2010
