At the 2025 Jiwei Semiconductor Conference (July 3–5, Shanghai Zhangjiang Science Hall), Oriental Crystal Source made a significant impact by unveiling its latest advancements in electron beam metrology and inspection technologies, reinforcing its leadership in China’s semiconductor equipment industry. The company showcased its next-generation portfolio across four core front-end electron beam applications:
- SEpA-i635 EBI (Electron Beam Inspection): Features ultra-high beam current (microampere-level pre-charge, nanoampere-level imaging), enabling detection of electrical defects in advanced memory wafers. Inspection speed exceeds 3x previous generation, with performance on par with international leaders.
- SEpA-r655 DR-SEM (Defect Review): Equipped with five-channel imaging (4 side + 1 top detector), advanced 3D defect visualization, deep-layer analysis, and a DUV microscopy module for elemental composition. Supports compound semiconductors and thick wafers. Inspection speed improved by over 2x, earning it the "Industrial Chain Breakthrough Award" at the conference.
- SEpA-c505 CD-SEM (Critical Dimension Metrology): New high-speed film transfer stage and advanced Electron Optical System (EOS) deliver resolution and repeatability comparable to top-tier international 12-inch systems. Enhanced software supports advanced measurement algorithms for next-gen processes.
- PanGen (computational lithography),
- PanGen Sim (lithography simulation),
- YieldBook (yield management),
- HPO platform (system-level yield optimization).
