Wafer Inspection & TestMetrology
The segment where AI has gone deepest — the quality of every die made visible.
The step
Process Overview
Inspection and test is the most mature ground for AI, from wafer-map defect classification through adaptive test. We sell and service ADVANTEST and LASERTECHNIK equipment from Japan and integrate the most current AI models with it.
