What it is

The KLA Puma 9120 is a dark-field defect detection tool. The system supports two hundred millimeter and three hundred millimeter wafers. The tool uses visible and ultraviolet light in the 370 to 720 nanometer range.[1][3][4][2]

How it works

The Puma 9120 uses a dual open-cassette loader for two hundred millimeter and three hundred millimeter wafers. The system is equipped with two cameras. Three inspection pixel models are installed or available, designated as sL5, sL8, and sL20. The smallest pixel size available is zero point sixteen micrometers. Software options include an array mode algorithm, a sizing option, and a nine-point-one simulator. The tool does not support RICO.[1][3][2]
