DISPEC-9000 Automatic Non-destructive SiC Substrate Dislocation Defect Inspection System
DISPEC-9000 Automatic Non-destructive SiC Substrate Dislocation Defect Inspection System
The DISPEC‑9000, based on the advanced Pump‑Probe Reflection principle, enables rapid optical non-destructive inspection of 6‑, 8‑, and 12‑inch SiC substrates. It accurately identifies three critical dislocation types (TSD, TED, BPD) while also detecting SF, MP, carbon inclusions, and polycrystalline defects. The system supports dual-side inspection of both Si and C faces. Its inspection throughput is highly efficient: 4–5 wafers per hour for 6‑inch, 2–3 wafers per hour for 8‑inch, and approximately 1 hour per wafer for 12‑inch (manual loading).

Equipped with AI-powered algorithms, DISPEC‑9000 assists in precise defect identification and density analysis, while also supporting customizable defect analysis. This enables full-chain defect tracking from substrate to epitaxy to device. Compared with traditional KOH etching methods, DISPEC‑9000 not only provides non-destructive detection but can effectively distinguish between TSD and TED signals, with results highly consistent with XRT measurements. It helps substrate manufacturers reduce production costs and offers strong support for cost efficiency improvements across the entire industry chain.

Key Features

  • Optical non-destructive inspection replaces KOH etching

  • AI-assisted precise identification and classification of defects such as TSD, TED, BPD, SF, and MP

  • High speed and high throughput to meet mass production inspection requirements

  • Inspection accuracy comparable to XRT

  • Compatible with ingot and non-standard seed crystal inspection


Overcoming Industry Challenges

Traditional KOH etching methods are not only destructive but also generally unable to accurately distinguish between TSD and TED, leading to a severe underestimation of TSD density in SiC substrates. By combining non-destructive detection with AI-based recognition, this product can effectively differentiate and identify TSD and TED signals, with results highly consistent with XRT measurements.
