  • Abstract
    During semiconductor manufacturing processes, wafer cracking inside a tool is a very serious problem in a fab. It results in costs from tool recovery, wafer and time loss, and potential contamination for other wafers. Most wafer cracking cases result from wafer edge chipping. A good chipping monitor solution will save more than 100 times the costs related to wafer cracking cases.
