KLA HRP-260: a cassette-to-cassette stylus profiler with long scans up to 200 mm and a high-resolution piezo stage for AFM-like measurement of small features.
Key features
- Dual stage
- Long scans up to 200 mm, plus a high-resolution piezo stage with resolution similar to AFM.
- Wafer handler
- Loads 75 to 200 mm opaque (e.g. silicon) and transparent (e.g. sapphire) samples automatically.
- Optics
- In-line low and high magnification optics.
- Production capability
- Fully automated with sequencing, pattern recognition and SECS/GEM.
