Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDarkfield wafer inspection is used for in-line process control between manufacturing steps. Wafers are typically measured after process modules such as deposition, etch, and chemical-mechanical planarization. The inspection results support disposition decisions, such as whether a wafer lot can continue. Defect maps generated by darkfield tools feed yield-management data back to process engineers. Tools of this class also support equipment qualification and baseline defect monitoring.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDarkfield defect inspection is applied to find particles, residue, and surface irregularities on unpatterned and lightly patterned wafers. The method is selected for smooth substrates such as bare silicon and blanket deposited films. Applications include equipment qualification, process module monitoring, and baseline defect checks. Darkfield tools are also used to monitor cleaning processes and to verify that wafers are free of surface contamination before a critical step.
