3Di

The Rudolph 3Di is a 3D and 2D bump inspection and metrology system designed for bumped device manufacturers. The 3Di uses patent-pending RCS technology for 3D inspection and metrology. The 3Di offers high-throughput, high-accuracy, 100% bump and wafer inspection in one system.[1][2]

What it is

The Rudolph 3Di is a metrology and inspection system for bumped device manufacturing.[1][2]

The Rudolph 3Di is a 3D and 2D bump inspection and metrology system.[2]

How it works

The Rudolph 3Di uses a patent-pending RCS sensor for 3D inspection and metrology.[1][3]

The Rudolph 3Di supports 2D inspection and metrology in the same system.[1][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Rudolph 3Di is positioned for post-fab die and wafer inspection.[1]

Applications

The Rudolph 3Di is used for complete bump and wafer inspection, including bump height, coplanarity, and other 3D defects.[1]

The Rudolph 3Di supports all bump processes and materials, under bump metalization, pre- and post-reflow, and other wafer-level packaging inspection tasks such as redistribution lines, thick films, vias, and intermediate interconnects.[1][3]

The Rudolph 3Di handles whole wafers from 75 mm to 300 mm and sawn wafers up to 300 mm on film frames.[1][3]
