Nikon 276768 is a microscope with an x/y/z positional and tracking stage. Nikon 276768 belongs to the Metrology & Inspection category.[1][2][3]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA microscope of this type provides optical magnification through a series of lenses, allowing an operator or automated system to view fine details on the surface of a sample.
The x/y/z positional and tracking stage enables precise movement of the sample in three axes, facilitating navigation to specific locations on the wafer and maintaining focus during inspection.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSuch microscopes are employed in the metrology and inspection phase of semiconductor fabrication, typically after process steps such as deposition, lithography, or etching to verify pattern fidelity and detect defects.
The tool is used in a cleanroom environment and may be integrated with data-management systems for defect review and classification.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedApplications include defect inspection, critical-dimension measurement, overlay verification, and general visual quality control of semiconductor wafers and photomasks.
