What it is

The KLA 2350 is an inspection system. The KLA 2350 belongs to the KLA 23xx family of metrology and inspection equipment.^[1]^[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Inspection systems operate by scanning the surface of a wafer or reticle with an optical or electron-beam imaging subsystem. The captured image is compared to a reference pattern or a database of known defects to identify anomalies such as particles, scratches, or pattern deviations. Detected defects are classified and reported for process monitoring and yield management.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor manufacturing, inspection tools are used at multiple points in the fabrication flow. After photolithography, after etch, and after deposition steps, inspection systems check for defects that could affect device performance. The data from inspection feeds back to process control and equipment maintenance decisions.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The KLA 2350 is applied to defect detection on unpatterned and patterned wafers during front-end and back-end processing. The system supports yield enhancement by identifying systematic and random defects.
