The Hitachi S 4200 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for metrology and inspection. The Hitachi S 4200 can be equipped with an Oxford EDS for energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.[1][2]
What it is
The Hitachi S 4200 is a scanning electron microscope in metrology and inspection use.[1][2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA scanning electron microscope forms images by scanning a focused electron beam across a specimen surface and collecting emitted signals from the interaction volume.
A metrology and inspection SEM is used to examine small surface features, measure critical dimensions, and inspect defects that are difficult to resolve with optical methods.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Hitachi S 4200 fits into wafer inspection and measurement workflows after fabrication steps that create patterned surfaces.
The Hitachi S 4200 supports review of surface features and defect sites before downstream disposition, analysis, or process adjustment.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Hitachi S 4200 is used for surface review, defect inspection, and feature measurement on semiconductor specimens.
