What it is

The Hitachi S 9260 A is a CD-SEM (Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscope). The system is configured for 8 inch wafers.[1][2][4][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A CD-SEM uses a focused electron beam to scan the surface of a semiconductor wafer. Secondary electrons emitted from the wafer are collected to form an image of the patterned features. The tool measures critical dimensions such as line widths and contact hole diameters by analyzing the image signal.
