What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay measurement tools support process control by checking alignment relationships between patterned layers on a wafer. Overlay measurement is part of in-line fabrication metrology rather than final product testing.

How it works

Wafer inspection equipment in this class typically presents the wafer to an optical or sensor-based inspection path and scans or views the surface to detect defects, irregularities, or process deviations. The tool supports metrology by measuring features or conditions on the wafer and converting those observations into process-control information.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

A wafer inspection system is used within the manufacturing flow after relevant process steps and before subsequent process stages that depend on quality confirmation. The DSM 200 Overlay Measurement fits into process monitoring by checking wafer condition before the wafer advances further in fabrication.[3]
