Photoluminescent silicon block inspection and lifetime modelling

Photoluminescent inspection and lifetime modelling for silicon blocks, integrated with measurement equipment and field commissioning.

Photoluminescent silicon block inspection and lifetime modelling Project

The challenge

Photoluminescent inspection of silicon blocks requires measurement data to be translated into spatially clear inspection results and usable lifetime models. The software also has to work reliably with the installed measurement equipment.

Our contribution

Symmetrix developed and integrated the machine-side software workflow for photoluminescent inspection and lifetime modelling. The delivery also included on-site software upgrades, calibration, commissioning and end-user training.

Delivered capabilities

  • Measurement acquisition and instrument integration
  • Photoluminescent silicon-block inspection workflow
  • Lifetime modelling
  • On-site calibration and commissioning
  • End-user training and operational handover
