Used KLA / TENCOR Alpha Step 500 #9257301 for sale

KLA / TENCOR Alpha Step 500 is a wafer testing and metrology equipment designed to meet the highest demands of semiconductor manufacturers. It is capable of processing 200mm and 300mm ultra-light wafers; it features an advanced, slim-form head design for accurate measurements of profile and dimension on the particular wafer surface. The source of KLA Alpha Step 500's precise measurements is its optical sensing technology, which leverages 3D auto focus and innovative, patented image recognition algorithm for superior accuracy of the scanning process. The optical technology is complemented with an advanced mechanical design featuring ultra-stable Scanning Stages. TENCOR ALPHASTEP 500 offers sophisticated automated software, with pre-defined applications and easy-to-learn user friendly GUI. It also features a wide range of software programming options that allow users to customize operations. This allows the system to be tailored to specific customer needs and requirements. TENCOR Alpha Step 500 can test complex structures such as gate height, line width, contact areas and other complex shapes through its deterministic shape recognition algorithms. This includes the measurement of outside edge (sizes) of vias, thru-holes, trenches, and trenches from high-precision reference images. KLA ALPHASTEP 500 is also able to measure step heights, thin film layers, and other surface features in combination with a wide range of edge detectors. Furthermore, it offers users the ability to generate detailed maps of wafer surfaces, enabling them to visualize data such as profilometry and morphometry of the scaled surface topography. In addition, KLA / TENCOR ALPHASTEP 500 offers Advanced Process Control (APC) capabilities. These include automated wafer measurements and correction of misalignment that takes place during wafer optimization. The unit also offers defect classification feature for production control, density measurements and statistical process control (SPC) for yield analysis. ALPHASTEP 500 is a robust, reliable and cost-effective wafer testing and metrology machine.Its capabilities make it an ideal choice for the demands of semiconductor manufacturing while its built-in software options and plentiful customization capabilities offer further value for customers.
