Details of defect regognition and image processing in Si wafers by using SIRD and SIREX are available, e. g. published in several papers and application notes. Do not hesitate to ask for sending them!
Hi Matthias, please tell me your Email adress. Then I can send you some copies of papers and presentations. We are just preparing a paper in Energy about results on Cz-Si wafers. The main author is Sindy Würzner at the Fraunhofer THM in Freiberg. Studies on multi-Si Wafers as well as on slurry-sawed ones would be very interesting for comparison. In brief: max. lateral resolution ca. 3µm, acquisition time 1mm^2 / min.
P. S. Sorry for confusion! The Information I have just sent to you are the data / parameter of our photo-elastic microscope SIREX that we have applied to the characterization of the sub-surface damage. For the recognition of edge defects on wafers we use the fast wafer mapper SIRD (Scanning Infrared Depolarization Imager). The resolution is about >=100µm, the acquisition rate 1cm^2 / sec !!! M.
