What it is

The Applied Materials G 3 Lite is an inspection system used in semiconductor manufacturing. The system is part of the metrology and inspection category of fab equipment.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Inspection systems of this class detect defects on wafers by scanning the surface and comparing captured images or signals against a reference. The G 3 Lite is designed for automated optical inspection of patterned wafers.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The primary application of the G 3 Lite is defect detection and classification on wafers in a semiconductor fab. The system supports process development and production monitoring by identifying particles, pattern defects, and other anomalies.
