What it is
The Nikon Optiphot 200 / NWL 851 is a microscope used for metrology and inspection in semiconductor work.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA microscope of this class uses an optical imaging path to inspect features on a wafer surface and support measurement-oriented review. In semiconductor use, this kind of instrument is positioned so an operator can view patterns, edges, and defects at magnification and evaluate surface condition directly.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis class of equipment is typically used after process steps that create or modify patterns, when a wafer must be checked for alignment, pattern fidelity, or visible defects before the next operation.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedEquipment of this type is used for wafer inspection and metrology tasks in semiconductor manufacturing.
