● Inspection Tool
Explanation: It has two main parts Application side and FIFA.
Application: Once the wafer reaches the chamber then tool performs the inspection on the Wafer, and prepare the results. Then FIFA take back the wafer from the chamber and put it back to the cassette. The result of inspection is handled by Connectivity and exported to YMS.
FIFA (Factory Interface Factory Automation): FIFA is common for all inspection tools and is responsible for wafer handling before the Inspection and after Inspection. It moves the wafer from cassette to chamber where silicon inspection is operated and moves it back to the cassette after inspection is done. FIFA involves a robotic arm for Wafer movement from cassette to chamber and vice versa. The result of the inspection is exported in form of Defect File to customer YMS. It has a sub part Connectivity, which is responsible for handling the import and export of Defect File.
