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.

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.
