Solutions:
Apply the Classification and Segmentation technology of Solomon SolVision AI image platform to identify defect features. First, use the Classification tool to judge whether the wafer has too many defects and eliminate the defective products that cannot be repaired. Then, use image processing technology to segment the wafer image, and use the Segmentation tool to detect the defects in the image, record their features, coordinates, area and other information, which greatly improves the efficiency of subsequent repairs.

Cognex's Deep Learning defect detection tools can find unacceptable and varied coating defects on wafer surfaces, which would be too complex or time-consuming for rule-based machine vision systems. The tool inspects the wafer surface, detecting if any cracks, chips or stains are present across it. It is trained on many different images showing variations in defect types and locations to identify potential areas of interest for inspection. Cognex's Deep Learning classification tools then classify the defects (e.g. cracks, chips, particles, etc.). This information can be used to improve processes to reduce defects and increase yield.
Apply the Segmentation technology of Solomon SolVision's AI image platform to build an AI learning module to automatically learn and detect the characteristics and location of crawling glue and overflowing glue. Combined with data augmentation technology, simulate the possible situations of adhesive overflow, so that AI can learn more feature patterns to improve accuracy. On the other hand, increasing the number of correct categories can improve the recognition strength and effectively reduce the interference of environmental factors.
Use SolVision's Feature Detection feature to learn the location points that need to be identified on the tray, and then use Segmentation technology to perform optical character recognition (OCR), which can greatly optimize the traditional AOI workflow. It is not restricted by the displacement, skew and character defects of the identification screen, and can accurately identify the source of individual materials. With the increase of the number of learning pieces, the ability of AI to identify characters can also be continuously optimized, making character identification no longer difficult.
Using SolVision AI image platform's unsupervised learning tool Anomaly Detection, AI deep learning is performed with non-defective image samples (Golden Sample), and data augmentation technology is used to improve the AI model's recognition of standard samples. The trained AI model can identify the differences between the tested object and the standard sample, locate and mark the position of the micro-crack defect inside the packaged chip, and is completely unaffected by the characteristics of the penetrating image.
Combining smart cameras with deep learning software uses optical character recognition (OCR) to decode damaged barcodes. Thanks to the pre-trained font library of deep learning, the deep learning barcode reading tool in the software is ready to use out of the box, greatly shortening the development time. Users only need to define the target detection area and set the character size. When introducing new characters, you don't need to have visual expertise, and you can also retrain this robust tool to read application-specific barcodes that traditional OCR tools can't decode.
Cognex's Deep Learning OCR tool can use a pre-trained built-in font library of over 1,000 characters to read curved strings, low contrast characters, as well as distorted, skewed, and poorly etched barcodes. The OCR tool also provides a re-training capability, allowing users to solve new or specific characters that cannot be automatically identified on the first pass. Quickly and accurately reading chip identification numbers not only improves traceability, but also ensures the correct information is captured for future reference when needed.

Traditionally, rule-based machine vision systems used with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems do not perform well. Detecting potential defects (NG) through deep learning can enhance the reliability of the inspection process. The AOI machine uses Cognex Deep Learning tools to identify potential NG situations and provide those images to the system. The defect detection tool can dynamically capture regions of interest, while the classification tool can categorize different types of defects, distinguishing between defective and acceptable wire bonds. Categorizing defects not only helps identify process issues to avoid costly rework downstream, but can also successfully identify defects at the micron level, improving IC chip yield and lifetime performance.
Cognex Deep Learning provides a simple solution that can identify all anomalous features without even having to train on "defective" images. Instead, engineers can use the defect detection tool in an unsupervised mode, training the software using samples of "good" images. Cognex Deep Learning can learn what normal wire bond and lead appearances and positions should be, and flag any deviating features as defective.
Cognex Deep Learning tools can help verify the difference between OK and NG probe marks, making probe mark detection easier and faster. The software is trained on a wide variety of images, including images showing correct probe marks and images showing unacceptable probe marks. Unacceptable marks can then be classified as "pressure related" or "off center".

Using the Segmentation technology of SolVision AI image platform, the defect features in the image samples are annotated and used to train the AI model.

Use Solomon SolVision's Segmentation technology to learn about various types of defects, and at the same time set OK categories to avoid false positives and false negatives. With data augmentation, the scope of AI learning is increased. It can not only effectively detect various types of defects, but also accurately detect edge protrusions, black edges or black spots in cluttered or complex backgrounds. It also has a good recognition effect for less obvious defects.
Use the Segmentation technology of the SolVision AI image platform to perform defect identification, detect and mark various subtle defects in complex imaging backgrounds, so that users can monitor and eliminate abnormal conditions of the carrier plate in real time.
The situation of chip jumping in the wafer is random, and the resulting defect patterns are diverse and difficult to predict the location of the defects. For AOI, it is almost impossible to set logic for jump defects and detect them based on it.Using the Segmentation technology of SolVision AI image platform, the AI model is trained with image samples of defects such as stacking, missing materials, skewing and misplacement, and flipping. After the AI training is completed, it can easily and quickly identify and mark the positions of abnormal pick and place on the wafer.
Wafer cutting is a very important process in the semiconductor and optoelectronics industries. If the cutting process cannot maintain high yield, high efficiency and maintain chip characteristics, it will greatly affect the overall production capacity. The quality control of the wafer cutting saw is mainly through the detection of external defects. Common external defects include irregular patterns and multiple drills on the saw body. Since the wafer cutting saw itself has circular stripes, it forms a complex image background, which seriously affects the machine vision for defect detection.Using the Feature Detection tool of SolVision AI image platform, the irregular patterns and multiple drill defects in the image samples are annotated and trained to train the AI model. AI vision can then detect various defects on the wafer cutting saw body in real time.

Since die bonding technology is the key to the packaging process, it has high requirements for speed and accuracy. However, the texture of the process image is very complex. Traditional optical inspection cannot use logic writing to detect defects such as angle, displacement deviation and missing, which often leads to missed detection, misjudgment and wrong positioning, which greatly affects the production efficiency of the packaging line.Using the Solomon SolVision AI image platform to enhance the reliability of displacement and angle information, accurately detect the manufacturing errors and abnormal conditions of the die bonding system. On the other hand, the AI module can also extend the learning of different chip forms and perform analysis and detection for different types of packaging products.
