Abstract: A wafer inspection apparatus includes a support structure including a frame and vacuum chucks mounted thereon, each vacuum chuck having a support surface including a vacuum suction portion, the support structure configured to structurally support a wafer on one or more vacuum chucks, the frame defining an opening larger than an area of the wafer. The wafer inspection apparatus includes an electromagnetic wave emitter configured to irradiate an inspection electromagnetic wave to the wafer, a sensor configured to receive the inspection electromagnetic wave from the wafer based on the inspection electromagnetic wave passing through the wafer, and a driver configured to move at least one of the electromagnetic wave emitter or the frame to change an irradiation location of the wafer. Each vacuum chuck is configured to be selectively movable between a first location and a second location in relation to the frame.

Abstract: A shock absorbing plate configured to absorb a shock between a first plate and a second plate stacked on the first plate in a vertical direction, positioned between the first plate and the second plate so that the first plate is apart from the second plate in the vertical direction, and having a circular shape when viewed in the vertical direction. When no pressure is applied to the shock absorbing plate, a vertical thickness of the shock absorbing plate is greatest at a center thereof and decreases from the center toward an outer edge thereof. A plurality of holes penetrate the shock absorbing plate in the vertical direction. A friction coefficient and an elastic modulus of the shock absorbing plate are less than a friction coefficient and an elastic modulus of each of the first plate and the second plate.

Abstract: A measuring system measures an overall resistance of two or more films on a substrate/measurement object by a terahertz absorption measurement and an overall film thickness by a photoacoustic measurement. The system estimates a first film thickness based on the overall resistance, then subtracts this estimated thickness from the overall film thickness measured by the photoacoustic measurement. The system includes a source unit to output a laser beam. A first pump-probe unit receives the laser beam and performs a photoacoustic test on the measurement object. A second pump-probe unit receives the laser beam and performs a terahertz signal test on the measurement object. The system also includes a stage to support the measurement object and controls for controlling elements and calculating the film thicknesses
