Neon

Market Leading Inspection Yield with Uncompromised Throughput

Neon is Cohu’s next generation inspection platform optimized for small, fragile semiconductors used in mobility and consumer applications.

Neon can handle fragile wafer level chip scale products at high speed, maintaining high operational efficiency while inspecting small devices down to 0.2 x 0.4 mm in size. It features extended process integration capabilities and can be configured with infrared and visual micro-scale defect inspection modules. It is also equipped with an external loader unloader to integrate with factory robots for customers adopting Industry 4.0 initiatives.

Neon is designed to provide our customers with the best price/performance ratio in the industry, targeting semiconductors used in handset and small consumer electronics applications for high volume die sort needs.
