  • Publication number: 20170005018
    Abstract: A method for inspection of a semiconductor device is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes performing a processing step in manufacturing of the semiconductor device, wherein a compound is at least in contact with the semiconductor device. The method also includes capturing an image on a two-dimensional image sensor of an area of at least part of the semiconductor device, wherein the captured image comprises spectral information for a plurality of positions in the area, and wherein the spectral information comprises intensity of incident electro-magnetic radiation for a plurality of different wavelength bands across a spectrum of wavelengths. The method also includes processing the spectral information of the captured image for each of the plurality of positions to determine whether residue of the compound is present in the position.

  • Patent number: 8900800
    Abstract: A method for producing a GaNLED device, wherein a stack of layers comprising at least a GaN layer is texturized, is disclosed. The method involves (i) providing a substrate comprising on its surface said stack of layers, (ii) depositing a resist layer directly on said stack, (iii) positioning a mask above said resist layer, said mask covering one or more first portions of said resist layer and not covering one or more second portions of said resist layer, (iv) exposing said second portions of said resist layer to a light source, (v) removing the mask, and (vi) bringing the resist layer in contact with a developer comprising potassium, wherein said developer removes said resist portions that have been exposed and texturizes the surface of at least the top layer of said stack by wet etching said surface, in the areas situated underneath said resist portions that have been exposed.
