Announcement highlights the official launch of the company
San Jose, Calif. (January 1, 2019) — Nano Span Technologies, LLC (Nanospan), a leading provider of production inspection and metrology equipment, today announced the commercial availability of the Sherlock product line. The Sherlock product line offers both standalone and fully automated tools macro inspection requirements of silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, diamond, and glass substrates in wafer format.
According to Barton Katz, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Nanospan, “Sherlock is a state-of-the art inspection and metrology tool that is revolutionary in the semiconductor equipment marketplace. It’s the first system to perform full-wafer 2-D and 3-D analysis at high throughput. Sherlock detects and reports the presence of wafer defects, particles, residue, and edge damage with location, count, and size information. Sherlock technology enables particle detection from sub-micron sizes (200nm) to large (millimeters) process signatures with a single scan; and allows for wafer defect determination down to sub-nanometer levels.”
Nanospan offers both macro and micro inspection and metrology products for wafer and panel applications in R&D and HVM environments. Sherlock and Clarity Pro encompass the core of the Nanospan product line for surface and sub-surface ubstrate applications, with additional products under development for applications using other form factors and substrates beyond silicon including silicon carbide, gallium nitride, glass, and diamond.
