  • Objective digital output with non-destructive remeasurability
  • Fit for use by operators in manufacturing and R&D environments
  • Lower detection limit of 0.5 µm PSL equivalent particles (NIST certified)
  • Reproducible measurements with relative count variance smaller than 10%
  • Field of view up to Ø 20 mm with sizing accuracy within 20% for PSL equivalent particles

Applications

  • Surface cleanliness validation during production by operators
  • Advanced particle analysis for R&D environments
  • Quick validation and statistical process control (SPC) monitoring
  • Contamination assessment on various products and assemblies including hard-to-reach surfaces
  • Particle deposition rate level (PDRL) measurements for cleanroom and vacuum chamber monitoring
  • Post-contamination analysis using SEM-EDX workflows

Key features

The Fastmicro Sample Scanner enables surface particle contamination measurements using compatible samplers (PMC 2.0 or Fastmicro Sampler). The system delivers high-throughput measurements with operator workflow completed in less than one minute, including on-the-spot processing. The scanner features multiple measurement interfaces, including a 2-inch Wafer Interface for fallout measurements and direct measurement capability with SEMI-standard 2-inch silicon wafers.

Measurement capabilities include analysis of particle quantity, position, and size with annotated image overlays and particle detection visualization. The system provides 3D signal representation of particles and detailed raw image views. Data output includes export functions with KLARF and CSV file formats, with data exchange via USB or ethernet connection. Remote access features are included as standard.

The scanner employs non-destructive measurement technology with no added contamination from the measurement process. Its adaptability across different interfaces makes it suitable for various applications and industries. The system operates within clean environments (ISO 7 or cleaner per ISO 14644-1) and includes optional qualification report generation in UI and PDF format according to ISO 14644-9.

Customization

The Fastmicro Sample Scanner supports multiple measurement interfaces and sampling configurations to accommodate different application requirements. Standard configurations include PMC 2.0 samplers, with additional interface options available including the 2-inch Wafer Interface for PDRL measurements and SEMI-standard 2-inch silicon wafer capability. Software customization options enable multi-recipe selection for operator flexibility. Advanced features including custom output criteria configuration and logo addition can be implemented through Advanced Workflow & Reporting software upgrades (pricing varies based on specific requirements).
