What it is
How it works
The Nikon NWL 860 T is an automatic wafer loader that includes a Nikon Optiphot 200 microscope. The loader is designed to present wafers to the microscope for inspection.[1]
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe primary application of an automatic wafer loader with an integrated microscope is optical inspection of semiconductor wafers. Common inspection tasks include defect detection, critical dimension measurement, overlay registration, pattern verification, and contamination monitoring. The tool is used in research and development as well as in high-volume manufacturing for inline quality control.
