Summary
A profession that inspects and measures the appearance and electrical characteristics of semiconductor products to ensure product quality.
Description
Semiconductor product inspectors perform appearance inspections and electrical characteristic measurements on semiconductor wafers and chips during manufacturing processes and after completion, sorting out defective products. In clean rooms, they operate automatic optical inspection equipment (AOI) and electrical test equipment using probe cards, and analyze the measurement data. Inspection results are reflected in manufacturing process improvements and quality assurance, and they also handle troubleshooting during line stoppages. High attention and accuracy are required, and they manage clean room work procedures and calibration of measuring instruments.
Future Outlook
As semiconductor demand expands and performance requirements increase, higher inspection accuracy will be demanded, and the adoption of automation and AI inspection technologies is expected to advance.
