KLA-Tencor Surfscan 6420

The image is from the cleanroom at the place it was refurbish in California.

Particle counting of an unpatterned surface. A broad range of particles size from 0.15 µm to greater than 3 µm can be measured on a polished silicon or epitaxial layers. Thin films like Nitride and thermal Oxide can also be inspected. The system will remove small surface roughness so it will not count as particles.
