About Bruker’s InSight WLI System

The InSight WLI system is designed for advanced packaging measurement requirements, providing non-contact, high-resolution 3D optical metrology. It accurately measures layer-to-layer alignment, surface topography and coplanarity. All these capabilities are essential for maintaining yield and quality.

Significance of Bruker’s InSight WLI System

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in consumer and industrial technologies, the chips powering these systems must deliver higher performance, faster data processing and greater energy efficiency. To meet these demands, semiconductor manufacturers are turning to advanced packaging — a transformative approach that enables the integration of multiple chips into a single, compact package. Advanced packaging supports multi-die stacking and heterogeneous integration, combining chips for processors, memory and accelerators into unified systems. This architecture is essential for AI workloads, which require high bandwidth, low latency and power efficiency. However, it also introduces new manufacturing challenges in precision alignment and structural integrity. Because of these challenges, Bruker’s advanced metrology solutions have become important for maintaining performance and reliability.
