Debris-Free 100 - 200 mm Wafer Marking
THE INDUSTRY-LEADING SOFTMARK SOLUTION
SigmaClean’s Class 1 cleanroom compatibility and ultra-stable diode-pumped laser has helped to make it the industry-leading solution for cost-efficient, highly-readable soft marking of 100 mm to 200 mm wafers for identification and traceability.
PATENTED SUPERSOFTMARK® TECHNOLOGY
SigmaClean’s proprietary SuperSoftMark® technology, along with its patented diode-pumped laser, enables it to deliver debris-free soft marking, and allows the system to be installed in customer cleanrooms for high-volume production.
HIGH PERFORMANCE WITH GREATER CONTROL
SigmaClean combines a high-performance laser system withbest-in-class system-level closed-loop control and automated system data logging. All laser performance data is accurately logged to SPC levels of mark quality.
SEMI-COMPLIANT WAFER MARKING
TUI’s WaferMark® systems are fully compliant with SEMI standards for wafer marking: T7, M12 and M13. SigmaClean can place multiple mark groups at any orientation on the wafer front surface, within a 25 mm band around the wafer’s circumference.
