What it is

The Hitachi S 9380 II is a critical dimension scanning electron microscope (CD-SEM). The S 9380 II supports 12-inch and 8-inch wafer handling via its E3 and OCL2300 ports.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A CD-SEM produces an image by scanning a focused electron beam over the sample surface. Secondary electrons emitted from the sample are collected to form an image that reveals the topography and edge profiles of microscopic features. The instrument measures distances between edges in the image to determine critical dimensions.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

CD-SEMs are applied to measure critical dimensions of resist patterns, etched lines, contact holes, and other features. CD-SEMs are used for in-line monitoring and development of semiconductor devices. The tools are also suitable for failure analysis and process characterization.
