Abstract
A system for examining semiconductor substrates may comprise an indenter configured to exercise a force onto the semiconductor substrate such that a crack in the semiconductor substrate occurs, a piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor configured to detect an acoustic signal emitted by the crack, and attaching means configured to fasten the indenter to a first surface of the piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor. The indenter and the attaching means are configured to transmit the acoustic signal to the piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor. The resonance frequencies of the indenter and the piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor are attuned to one another.
