Frequently asked questions
What kind of tool is a CD-SEM?General reference — not yet source-verified
It is an electron-beam metrology and inspection tool that images and measures very small patterned features on a surface.
What does this class measure?General reference — not yet source-verified
It is used to evaluate the size, shape, and consistency of fine structures, especially features formed by lithography and subsequent pattern transfer.
Why use electron-beam inspection instead of optical inspection?General reference — not yet source-verified
This class is used when feature sizes or edge detail are too small for practical optical measurement and when higher spatial resolution is needed.
Where is this tool used in fabrication?General reference — not yet source-verified
It is used in the metrology and inspection flow to check pattern quality after manufacturing steps and to support process control.
What kind of output does it provide?General reference — not yet source-verified
It provides high-resolution images and measurement data that can be used to assess feature dimensions, shape variation, and local defects.
