WAFER SCANNING

摘要

A semiconductor wafer measuring device including a wafer mover adapted to move a semiconductor wafer; a measurement head adapted to scan a surface of the semiconductor wafer as the semiconductor wafer is moved by the wafer mover; and a controller. The controller is adapted to control movement of the wafer mover to provide a first scanning segment of a first portion of the surface of the semiconductor wafer without rotating the semiconductor wafer during the first scanning segment, a second scanning segment of a second different portion of the surface of the semiconductor wafer without rotating the semiconductor wafer during the second scanning segment; and rotating the semiconductor wafer between the first and second scanning segments.
