'QwikQual'
Chip makers, QwikQual wafer process qualification gets your production ramped up or helps correct a yield excursion.
Services for Chip Makers and FAB Product Engineers.
‘QwikQual’ wafer process qualification can help get your production ramped up, or speed up the solving of a yield excursion in your process.
Sometimes you need to know what your process tool is achieving at a specific location which is critical to your final yield, and so we have introduced a rapid instrument qualification process for FAB engineers, who need site-specific process data on a sameday/next day basis.
Our ‘QwikQual’ service is for 1 or 2 micro cross-sections with imaging and calibrated metrology taken from a specific location to help you independently qualify your manufacturing equipment – specifically for clients who have pre-registered for this service.
We will email the images directly to you as they are produced, allowing you to make quick decisions for your production line and your process.
This service is ideal for semiconductor foundries who are ‘ramping up’ a new process or for supplying site-specific customer qualification data. Our wafer process qualification can also supply precise information for non-standard Quals.

It’s got to be
- FAST
- Independent
- From the right location
- Correct (Accurate)
- Referenced to traceable standards
- Reasonably priced
How do I do that?

- You can watch over the web with ‘LiveFIB’ if needed.
In-situ or Ex-situ? An unbiased view on which TEM section lift-out method is best for you.
Just posted here is the full article discussing the relative merits of both methods of FIBxTEM section extraction and the factors to consider when choosing which is better for your sample types.
New Dual Acid FIB edit capabilities available now.
NanoScope has brought Dual-Acid decapsulation in-house, and extended those capabilities.
This equipment was part of a larger equipment acquisition and more FA and other capabilities will become available over the next few weeks.
New Decapsulation Capability Coming Soon
NanoScope has been successful in acquiring much of the FA capability of the Unisem facility and we are now in the process of transferring this equipment over to our Bristol Laboratory.
