Augmented, Mixed, and Virtual Reality Headset Inspection Systems

AR/VR/MR Headset Production

Maximizing Throughput, Yield and Quality

Producing high quality AR/VR/MR headsets require high-resolution, 100% visual defect detection at each critical process stage from IQC (glass wafers) through coating and assembly (final QC). Particles and coating defects of only a few microns can mean a rejected assembly. Dark Field has developed and proven on-line, high-speed inspection and measurement technologies which detect defects and provide real time measurements and immediate grading/alarms/reject actions.

Post Coating of Headset Optics – Quality, Yield and Throughput Challenges

Manual inspection is time consuming, expensive, subjective and inexact; critical defects cannot be reliably detected, manually. Manual handling adds to the defects and yield loss.

Production line speeds, limited line access and the need to find very small defects make manual inspection impossible.

Conventional camera technologies do not deliver consistent high-speed inspection of first surface or both surfaces.

Dark Field Solutions

Specially designed Solid State Laser Reflection (SSLR) scanners deliver the highest resolution in the industry (1μm); darkfield and brightfield scanner designs.

Special technology for first surface inspection or transmission inspection. Edge defect and chamfer defect detection. Inspect time 1-2 seconds per wafer.

Self-aligning optics means no more false hits or missed defects due to misalignment.

Process Challenges

Pilot plant operations need a means to determine cause and effect of changing process parameters in a simple “Push button” operation.

Process and customer-specific turnkey solutions are required for process optimization.

Building a cost-effective turnkey solution is not within the remit or expertise of inspection and metrology companies.

Customer and process-specific turnkey solutions are routinely designed and built by Dark Field Technologies.

Information Challenges

Conventional inspection systems produce megabytes of data and images but do not generate useful information

Conventional systems require constant attention and tuning

Your Partner For Complete Inspection & Metrology Solutions, From Product Development Through Production

Contract Inspection

Contract Inspection allows your team to deploy Dark Field’s inspection expertise even in the early days of product and process development.

R&D Tabletop Systems

Turnkey tabletop inspection systems allow pilot lines, Labs and R&D operations to start using SSLR technology early in the product/process development. Systems are modular and may be repurposed to the production line in the future. This means that the Lab or Pilot Line results are directly transferrable to Production.

Solid State Laser Reflection (SSLR) Systems for Pilot Lines and Production

The world’s most advanced technology solution for finding defects and taking measurements in RTR, Sheet and Wafer Production. On-line defect detection to 1µm. Achieve greater throughput, improved quality, minimize scrap, eliminate manual labor, and improve costs – concurrently.

Turnkey Systems

New processes and pilot plants sometimes require a stand-alone, special turnkey system. Dark Field turnkey systems deliver recipe-based defect detection and metrology for all process operations. Systems include XYZ stages and requisite safety interlocks and controls. This system may later be repurposed for Production.

Future Upgrades

As processes and products change or evolve, Dark Field systems may be upgraded for wider and faster operations, greater system resolution and customized software. Dark Field systems are completely modular so they can be upgraded in the field.
