Products

Tordivel Solar AS is a complete supplier of inline and offline inspection and measurement systems and components for wafer production.

 

Tordivel Solar adds value by inspecting ingots, blocks and wafers for defects to provide measurement and classification data. Tordivel Solar markets a complete range of measurement instruments, systems and software for the two first process steps in photovoltaic industry: 3D measurements of ingots and blocks and inline wafer inspection.

 

Our systems and products are backed by extensive research in 3D Machine Vision.

 

Wafer inspection

The scope is to check wafers for defects and providing measurement and sorting data. This with the highest reliability and accuracy, low maintenance cost and the best total cost of ownership. An illustration of a Tordivel Solar wafer inspection line is seen below. Click to see our video.

Our systems perform these wafer measurements:

• Sawmarks

• TTV – Thickness

• Size, Surface, Chipping Edge Detection

• Contamination

• Shiny patches

• Detection and Identification

• Microcrystal Detection

• Wafer bow

 

System Architecture

The Wafer Inspection Master is the key interface to classify wafers and to facilitate analysis. The solution uses a world class unified integrated system software solution which includes the Global Configuration Management System (GCMS) and a Global Recipe System (GRS).

Measurement Instruments

Topology, Surface, Micro Crack and Optional (i.e. Thickness, Resistivity, Lifetime) instruments

 

Wafer Inspection Master

• Coordinates wafer measurements between instruments

• Tracks wafer in inspection cell with id

• Combines measurements from different instruments to provide reliable wafer sorting and geometric mapping of wafer defects

 

WIDB

Wafer Inspection Database, stores detailed wafer data and images in an open SQL Database

 

GRS

Global Recipe System

 

GCMS

Global Configuration Management System

 

PMS

Production Management System connected over OPC

 

Wafer Sorting

Production line module providing the master with wafer id and receiving wafer sorting data from master

 

All our solutions are based on Scorpion Vision SoftwareŽ and include flexible interfaces like TCP/IP, RS-232 and Profibus, OPC support, logging of the inspection results and statistics presentation.

The architecture including geomapping ensures seamless integration of complimentary inspection instruments.
