A universal theme has been to exploit fast and contactless determination of the electric potential at the surface of an in-process semiconductor substrate to determine and characterize the electrical impact of preceding manufacturing methods to both control and optimize manufacturing yield. USF has had active programs in Defect Engineering and non-contact Defect Visualization for the past 25 years.
