What it is
The KLA Viper 2435 XP Defect is a metrology and inspection tool.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMetrology and inspection tools examine wafers or other semiconductor substrates for defects, pattern issues, and process variation. Inspection systems typically combine illumination, imaging, and software analysis to detect and classify defects or other process-relevant features.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDefect inspection tools are used during process control rather than for wafer fabrication itself. The KLA Viper 2435 XP Defect sits in the inspection flow to support monitoring of manufacturing quality before later processing or release decisions.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDefect inspection equipment is used for identifying surface anomalies, particle-related defects, and other yield-impacting irregularities on semiconductor substrates. Such tools support production monitoring, excursion detection, and process qualification in mature and legacy fabs.
