What it is

KLA introduced the Archer 200 as a new overlay metrology system in June of 2008.[1]

How it works

The Archer 200 uses optical imaging to measure overlay and support layer-to-layer alignment control.[1][3]

The Archer 200 uses AIM alignment targets and is compatible with micro-AIM targets for denser placement within the chip.[1][3]

The Archer 200 can be equipped with an optional SCOL module for scatterometry-based overlay measurement.[1][3]

The Archer 200 uses redesigned optics, a modified light path, and camera management algorithms to improve throughput, matching, and measurement repeatability.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Archer 200 supports scanner alignment and scanner correction through higher-order overlay control.[1]

Applications

The Archer 200 was aimed at overlay control for 32nm lithography and double-patterning processes.[1][3]
