Inspection device and method

An inspection device for producing a deformation in a wafer and revealing a defect in the wafer, comprising:

• a base
• a collar extending from said base for defining an opening and a chamber;
• a vacuum device connecting with said chamber for evacuating said chamber after the wafer is positioned adjacent to said upper surface of said collar and deflecting the wafer into said chamber for propagating the defect in the wafer;
• a base displacer for positioning said wafer between a first engagement position, a non-engagement position and a second engagement position;
• said first engagement position abutting the wafer with said base for defining a first wafer deflection upon said vacuum device evacuating said chamber;
• said non-engagement position separating said base relative to the wafer;
• a base pivot pivoting said base relative to the wafer during said non-engagement position for alternating the angular orientation of said base relative to the wafer for defining an alter angular orientation of said base relative to the wafer;
• said second engagement position abutting the wafer with said base for defining a second wafer deflection upon said vacuum device evacuating said chamber;
• and
• said first wafer deflection and said second wafer deflection defining an increased homogeneous stress distribution within the wafer for increasing the area within the wafer for propagating the defect and reducing the evacuation pressure applied by said vacuum device.

A method for producing, a deformation in a panel body and revealing a defect in the panel body, the method comprising the steps of:

• positioning the panel body adjacent to a collar coupled to a base defining a chamber;
• evacuating the chamber for deflecting the panel body into the chamber for propagating the defect in the panel body;
• releasing the vacuum within the chamber for removing the panel body from the chamber;
• separating said base relative to the panel body;
• inspecting the panel body for propagated defects;
• pivoting the base relative to the panel body for alternating the angular orientation of the base relative to the panel body for defining an alter angular orientation of the base relative to the panel body;
• positioning the panel body adjacent to the collar;
• evacuating the chamber for deflecting the panel body into the chamber for propagating the defect in the panel body;
• releasing the vacuum within the chamber for removing the panel body from the chamber;
• separating said base relative to the panel body;
• and
• inspecting the panel body for propagated defects.
