What it is

The Onto Innovation Inspectrology IVS 120 is an overlay measurement system used for metrology and inspection in semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An overlay measurement system compares successive patterned layers on a wafer to evaluate how accurately they are registered to one another. In this class of equipment, optical measurement methods are commonly used to detect alignment error, then translate the result into data for process control and tool correction.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

This type of tool sits in the metrology and inspection part of the fab flow, after patterning steps have created multiple layers on the wafer. It is used between lithography-related steps to check overlay performance and help maintain alignment control during manufacturing.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay measurement is used in semiconductor fabrication wherever patterned layers must be aligned with one another. The tool class is relevant to layered device manufacturing, process monitoring, and verification of lithographic alignment across the wafer.
