Airborne Nanoparticle Detection in Semiconductor Tools
The increasing attention on driving better product yield performance with advanced technology nodes has drawn reasonable discussion for in-tool monitoring to reduce nanoparticles that can have an impact on yield. With that in mind, Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) launched the new NanoAir™ 10 Condensation Particle Counter that measures particles down to 10 nm and the ParticleSeeker™ Smart Manifold system which is the first-ever manifold designed to handle nanoparticle transport. This product will unlock a new world of monitoring possibilities, providing a look into a current blind spot of the requirements and needs in the industry.
