What it is

The Archer 300 overlay metrology system provides overlay registration and CD measurements on various substrate types including Si, SiC, GaN, quartz, glass, and GaAs. The system is built on the Archer platform and supports 300 mm (12 inch) wafer sizes.[2][1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor manufacturing, overlay metrology is performed after lithography and before etch to verify alignment of the new pattern to previous layers. Measurement results are used to feed forward corrections to lithography tools or to monitor process stability.
