Conveyor inspection system, substrate rotator, and test system having the same

Abstract:

A substrate rotator configured to rotate one or more substrates includes a body, a body actuator coupled to the body and configured to rotate the body, and a first and second gripper coupled to the body. A substrate edge metrology system that measures side chips or other defects on all sides of the substrate is also described. The metrology system includes two metrology stations and the substrate rotator. Methods for measuring side chips or other defects on a substrate are also provided. The method includes performing metrology on a first set of sides of the first substrate, rotating the first substrate by a first angle, and performing metrology on the second set of sides of the first substrate.
