CyberOptics has announced the launch of its next generation Airborne Particle Sensor (APS3) with new ParticleSpectrum™ Software. CyberOptics’ WaferSense® APS3 speeds equipment set-up and long-term yields in semiconductor fabs by wirelessly detecting, identifying and monitoring airborne particles in real-time. CyberOptics’ Airborne Particle Sensors, documented as the best known method (BKM), have proven to deliver up to 90% time savings, 95% expense reduction and up to 20X the throughput with half the manpower relative to legacy surface scan wafer methods. The APS3 measurement devices are even thinner and lighter to travel through semiconductor tools with ease, while providing the industry-leading accuracy and sensitivity valued by equipment and process engineers around the world. The APS3 solution incorporates ParticleSpectrum software – a completely new, touch-enabled interface with user-friendly functionality, making it simple to read in real-time, record and review small to large airborne particle data.
We have a quote from Subodh Kulkarni, President and CEO of CyberOptics regarding the launch:
“Semiconductor fabs and equipment OEMs worldwide have relied on our proven airborne particle sensing technology to provide significant improvements in yields. Now, we’ve made the device even thinner and lighter and combined it with ParticleSpectrum, a software package that is sure to delight the engineers with its simplicity.”
CyberOptics® will demonstrate its next generation Airborne Particle Sensor technology (APS3) 300mm with new ParticleSpectrum™ software at SEMICON Korea. They will also unveil a new Airborne Particle Sensor designed for the Flat Panel Display (FPD) market. SEMICON Korea is running from January 31st through February 2nd at the Seoul COEX in booth # A418.
