What it is
The KLA INS 3000 is a DUV defect inspection system manufactured by KLA/Leica. The system supports 8-inch wafers.[1]
Why won't it start?
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
- Auto Focus occasionally fails to engage and works after pressing the button several times
- DF (Dark Field) and CF (Confocal Mode) functions are inoperable
- Vibration isolation function failure
- Air regulator currently bypassed
- Joystick malfunction; usable but return action is sluggish
- Three scratches present inside the eyepieces (both left and right lenses)
- Video printer and Confocal UV lamp power supplies are currently disconnected/unused
- Stage has a slight left-to-right tilt and minor scratches
