What it is

The KLA Archer 200 AIM is an overlay measurement system in metrology and inspection.[2][3][4]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An overlay measurement system compares the alignment of patterned layers on a wafer against intended placement.

Overlay metrology supports process control by measuring registration error after lithographic exposure and pattern transfer steps.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

An overlay measurement tool is used after patterning steps to verify layer-to-layer alignment before downstream processing continues.

Applications

The Archer 200 AIM is used for wafer overlay measurement in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][5][3][4]
