Used KLA / TENCOR Alpha Step 500 #9393024 for sale

KLA / TENCOR Alpha Step 500 is a wafer testing and metrology equipment, developed by KLA, Inc. It features a comprehensive suite of surface and topography metrology techniques to accurately measure wafers and thin background films on the manufacturing floor. Its advanced technology allows for the detection of even the most minute issues on a production line. KLA Alpha Step 500 integrates three metrology methods, including an automated, non-contact stylus, a non-contact optical interferometer, and a contact profilometer with integrated non-contact topography system. Each of these processes enables reliable surface measurements on samples with variable height, surface roughness, and geometry. The interferometer employs single-point, non-contact optical techniques, allowing for real-time data collection and quick results. The stylus measures the thickness of a film or surface feature, as well as topography profiles of complicated, three-dimensional samples. The contact profilometry uses multiple scan positions and speeds, for accurate and detailed profile details. TENCOR software features powerful analytical capabilities, providing an integrated environment for data display, visualization, and analysis of wafer surface data. It allows for transmission of efficient, detailed information in a convenient and user-friendly format, covering anything from small localized features to average top-level profiles. An intuitive user interface allows for quick navigation through the different data modes, and enables metrology engineers to manage large datasets. TENCOR ALPHASTEP 500 is designed to meet the demands of industrial production lines, with ease of operation and maintenance. It is equipped with automated processes, adjustable parameters, and built-in test programs, allowing for efficient and accurate metrology in industrial settings. It is also designed in such a way that any measurement data can be easily extracted from the unit and transferred across different environments. Overall, KLA / TENCOR ALPHASTEP 500 is a state-of-the-art wafer testing and metrology machine, ideal for use on production floors. Its integrated metrology tools and intuitive user interface enable engineers and production line operators to accurately measure wafers and thin background films, reducing the risk of costly manufacturing errors.
