AutoAlign - Front and Backside Alignment
Feature:
LED thru objective Illumination
with Recipe Stored Intensity
and contrast settings,
Single Field and Spiral search
for alignment marks that don’t
land in the field of view
Optimized load offset (OLOA)
Recipe Set Field of View –
Vision system runs calibration
to calculate pixels per micron
(New!)
The Benefits
Ultimate Flexibility in control
of illumination for reliable
AutoAlign pattern recognition
Shorter Align Time no
Operator Assistance
Added capability for hard to
find alignment targets
Great for compensation for
different size alignment
marks and getting best
possible alignment accuracy

NXQ sets the industry standard for Air
bearing leveling which provides the most
control and lowest force leveling for
fragile and ultra thin wafers and high
value product wafers!
Low friction ball seat provides an
excellent seal when vacuum is applied to
perform precise wedge error
compensation
The “air bearing” floats the chuck for
precise leveling.
Flexures prevent Z-axis shifting
The lock ring holds the piston tightly
after leveling.
The Electro Magnetic Linear Motor
(Maintenance Free!) with linear encoder
for highly accurate position (+/- 1um)
accuracy..
