What it is

The KLA Archer 10 XT Overlay is a metrology and inspection system for overlay measurement.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay metrology tools measure the registration between patterned layers on a wafer so lithography alignment can be checked and corrected.

Mask aligner and overlay metrology classes use optical measurement of alignment targets and stage positioning to quantify layer-to-layer error.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Overlay metrology sits in the lithography control flow, where measured alignment error is used to tune exposure and correction settings.

Applications

The Archer 10 XT Overlay is used for wafer overlay measurement in semiconductor lithography control.[1][2]
