What it is

The Nikon Eclipse L 200 ND is an IC inspection microscope for metrology and inspection work. It is part of Nikon’s Eclipse L200ND/L200N microscope line, and the model shown here is configured for six-inch wafers.[2][1]

How it works

The L200ND family also supports motorized nosepiece use, optical-path selection, focus control, and camera attachment options through adapters and external-device connections.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

This type of microscope is used after fabrication steps that create patterned or surface-defined features, when operators need direct visual checking of wafers, masks, or device structures. It sits in the inspection and metrology portion of the workflow rather than in the primary process tools.

Applications

The L200ND is used for IC inspection work, including examination of surface features and contrast-sensitive structures that benefit from bright-field, dark-field, polarization, DIC, fluorescent, or transmitted-light viewing.[1]
