What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe KLA AIT I Surface is a metrology and inspection tool.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA surface profilometer measures surface topography by sensing height variation across a workpiece. A metrology and inspection tool in this class is used to characterize surface features, step heights, and roughness so process results can be checked against process targets.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA surface profilometer sits in the measurement and control part of semiconductor manufacturing rather than in the primary wafer-processing sequence. The machine is used after process steps that change surface height or texture so the resulting topography can be checked before later processing continues.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA surface profilometer is used for wafer surface measurement. A tool of this class is used to evaluate topography-related features that matter in semiconductor manufacturing, including surface shape changes introduced by prior process steps.
