This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
The Hitachi HD 2300 is a scanning electron microscope used for metrology and inspection.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA scanning electron microscope forms images by scanning a focused electron beam across a specimen and detecting emitted signals from the surface. In this class of instrument, the electron beam and detector system are used to resolve fine surface detail and support dimensional inspection tasks.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn semiconductor and related manufacturing flows, a scanning electron microscope is typically used after patterning or surface-processing steps to examine features, verify dimensions, and check for defects. It supports process control, failure analysis, and inspection of small structures that are difficult to assess with optical methods alone.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis class of instrument is used for metrology and inspection of microstructured surfaces and fabricated features. It is also used to examine defects, pattern quality, and other fine-scale details on semiconductor and precision-engineered materials.
