Measurement Solutions for the Semiconductor & Electronics Industries Colour and Spectral Reflectance Measurement for Development, Manufacturing and Quality Control of circuit boards, films, LED components and encapsulation materials Quality Inspection Solutions for the Semiconductor and Electronics Industry Precision and consistency are essential in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Whether it’s the differentiation of PCB layers, the uniformity of transparent conductive films, or the performance of optical coatings, even the slightest variation can affect functionality, reliability, or visual appeal. Konica Minolta provides advanced colour, reflectance and illuminance measurement instruments tailored to these challenges. Our highperformance instruments and software allow manufacturers to quantify and control visual characteristics across all stages of production – from materials , like encapsulants and resists, to finished components such as displays and LEDs. This ensures not only compliance with industry standards but also a streamlined process for quality assurance and product innovation. Development: Process and quality control: Performance testing, comparative analysis, and ageing tests to evaluate colour stability and optical behaviour under thermal and environmental stress. Accurate, repeatable colour and reflectance measurement for monitoring raw materials and finished components like PCBs, films, and coatings. Spectrophotometers are used for precise colour and spectral reflectance measurement of semiconductor wafers, electronic components, and display panels, ensuring consistency and detecting subtle defects invisible to the human eye. Illuminance meters are used for measuring colour and brightness in display and LED quality control, and for verifying illuminance levels in cleanrooms, inspection environments, and lighting validation in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. Implementing Konica Minolta’s quality control measurement systems helps reduce waste, enhance product quality and support adherence to industry standards and traceability requirements. Our instruments are supported by certified calibration services, ensuring traceability and repeatability of QC measurements, which is vital for process validation and audits in regulated industries. This supports your organisation in maintaining strict manufacturing standards and delivering products that meet exact specifications globally. 2 Examples of Applications for Quality Inspection Advanced Optical Measurement Instruments Spectrophotometers and colorimeters are used for precise colour and appearance measurement of semiconductor wafers, electronic components, and display panels, ensuring consistency and detecting subtle defects invisible to the human eye. Display Colour Analyzers are used to measure colour, luminance, and uniformity in display manufacturing (e.g., OLED, LCD, LED) to guarantee high-quality visual performance and compliance with industry specifications. Lighting and Signal Measurement Luminance and Colour Measurement instruments ensure the brightness and colour accuracy of LEDs, signal lights, and backlit components, which are essential for both end-user experience and regulatory compliance. Continuous Analytics QC systems provide immediate feedback and analytics, enabling rapid response to quality issues and continuous process improvement. 3
