A FAST AUTOMATED OPTICAL INSPECTION SYSTEM <BR>
FOR FINISHED SEMICONDUCTOR WAFERS </FONT></H1>


<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel - August 4, 2003 - Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT)
 a developer and supplier of intelligent optical inspection systems, today announced the introduction of its new
automated system for optical inspection of semiconductor wafers in their final
manufacturing stages &#150; the FALCON. The Falcon, which was first demonstrated at the
Semicon West 2003 show in San Jose, offers synergistic surface inspection and 3-D
metrology for wafers up to 300 mm in diameter. Camtek plans to install the first systems
in the fourth quarter of 2003.<BR> &#147;Known Good Die (KGD) is a prerequisite for packaging yield, and is getting even more critical in high density and
3-D packaging&#148;, said Rafi Amit, Camtek&#146;s CEO. &#147;Automated Optical Inspection
is quickly becoming an important tool for achieving KGD. The Falcon brings a new level of
inspection capabilities to support enhanced yields and lower packaging costs&#148;. </FONT></P>

FALCON </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Built upon Camtek&#146;s experience
of over 10 years in developing intelligent optical inspection systems, the Falcon targets
wafer-level in-line inspection at the FAB end-of-line, bumping and packaging facilities.<BR>

On-the-fly scanning detects surface defects from micron to macro-levels, as well as
multiple, missing or misplaced probe marks, bump size and placement deviations. Two
available sensor types provide fast and high precision height measurement for
comprehensive bump height, volume and co-planarity analysis. Off-line setup and review
features maximize utilization. </FONT></P>
