KLA Surfscan SP1 / SP2

KLA Surfscan SP1 / SP2

The KLA Surfscan SP1 and SP2 are unpatterned wafer inspection systems used for semiconductor surface inspection and defect detection. Global TechSolutions supports Surfscan SP1/SP2 equipment through refurbishment, installation, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and laser-system support.

KLA Surfscan SP1 and SP2 unpatterned wafer inspection equipment

KLA Surfscan SP1 / SP2 Overview

KLA Surfscan SP1 and SP2 systems are used for optical inspection of unpatterned semiconductor wafers. The systems scan wafer surfaces to identify particles, defects and other surface conditions that can affect semiconductor manufacturing.

The Surfscan SP1 uses visible-light laser inspection technology, while the later SP2 platform introduced ultraviolet laser technology for higher-sensitivity unpatterned wafer inspection.

Global TechSolutions supports KLA Surfscan SP1 and SP2 equipment with refurbishment and field service for semiconductor manufacturers looking to keep existing inspection systems in operation.
