GreenTropism and UnitySC sign MoU to collaborate tackling Molecular contamination identification on Advance Packaging issues using advanced sensing and artificial intelligence
Taiwan, September 17, 2019 – GreenTropism a leading French startup on artificial intelligence for spectral analysis and UnitySC, a leader in inspection and metrology solutions for advanced semiconductor packaging, announce today a collaboration effort of three years to enable advanced capabilities on spectral analysis for molecular organic measurement on UnitySC systems.
Organic molecularcontamination impact from polysiloxanes, photoresists residues or even silicones, is well known as it is their contributions to issues related with delamination and contamination of various material interface. Its impact is ubiquitous in the semiconductor industry specially at copper interconnects level. Spite of this their identification and detection are a not-easy problem related not only to sensitivity but as well as resolution and Data analysis.
In this context, advanced sensing work at UnitySC over the last years has opened the opportunity to tackle this important issue related to organic contamination measurements, as well as its identification in the process flow. Despite the fact that several technologies are available, they are hampering with sensibility, resolution, but also with data analysis problems associated with the big data nature of spectral data. It is where all the expertise on spectral analysis and work performed in different application from GreenTropism, demonstrating the key contribution of new artificial intelligence approaches comes into play. The joint effort will take advantage of both companies’ strengths.
The new functionality will allow tackling issue on the advanced packaging flow for the different application mentioned above. The expected plans are to be able to deliver the customer solution in the coming months and having the possibility to start making demonstration on customer wafer by early Q1 2020.
