What it is

The KLA HRP 340 Surface is a metrology and inspection tool in the HRP 340 family. The KLA HRP 340 Surface is a surface profilometer or high-resolution profiler used for wafer surface measurement.[1][4][5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A surface profilometer measures surface height by tracing a stylus across a wafer or other sample. A high-resolution profiler uses a stylus-based sensing stage to resolve fine topography changes on the surface.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The KLA HRP 340 Surface fits in wafer metrology and inspection flow, where surface topography is checked after process steps that change film thickness or surface relief. A profiler of this class is typically used between fabrication steps to verify process results and monitor surface uniformity.
