The Nikon Eclipse L 200 is an IC inspection microscope. The Nikon Eclipse L 200 has 6-inch wafer support.[1]
What it is
The Nikon Eclipse L 200 is a microscope used in metrology and inspection work. The Nikon Eclipse L 200 ND is an IC inspection microscope with 6-inch wafer support. The Eclipse L 200 ND family includes the Eclipse L 200 ND model. The L200ND and L200N share instructions that apply to both models.[2][1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn IC inspection microscope forms a magnified optical image of wafer features so an operator can inspect surface patterns and defects. Inspection microscopes of this class typically combine reflected-light viewing, precision stage motion, focus control, and multiple observation modes to let an operator examine different layers and topographies across a sample.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedInspection microscopes sit in the characterization and verification part of fab operations rather than in the patterning, deposition, or etch functions themselves. Inspection microscopes are commonly used around lithography, thin-film, etch, clean, and packaging-related steps when operators need visual confirmation of pattern quality, alignment condition, residue, scratches, or other observable defects.
Applications
