What is it?

The KLA 2135 wafer inspection system is described as using brightfield, small-pixel, high data rate, digital image processing technology for in-line inspection. The source says it enables detection of all types of yield-relevant defects on all process layers, with high capture rates, and states that it offers a two- to three-times throughput improvement over the earlier KLA 2132.
