Candela 6310 Surface
What it is
The KLA Candela 6310 Surface is a surface inspection system. The KLA Candela 6310 Surface belongs to the metrology and inspection category.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSurface inspection systems scan a prepared surface and detect optical signatures associated with particles, scratches, pattern disturbances, or other surface anomalies. Surface inspection systems generally combine wafer handling, controlled illumination, collection optics, signal processing, and defect classification functions within one tool.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSurface inspection systems are used as monitoring tools around deposition, lithography, etch, clean, polish, and incoming-surface qualification steps. Surface inspection systems help engineers check whether a process sequence is introducing added defects before wafers move to subsequent fabrication or review operations.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSurface inspection systems are applied to defect monitoring on polished, coated, and otherwise prepared wafer or substrate surfaces. Surface inspection systems support process development, excursion monitoring, yield learning, and quality control where surface condition is a critical attribute.
