What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedKLA Candela wafer inspectors operate by scanning a wafer with multiple laser beams of different wavelengths, typically blue and red. The beams are directed at the wafer surface at an oblique angle, and the scattered light is collected by photodetectors positioned at various angles. Surface defects scatter light differently than a pristine surface, allowing the system to identify and classify anomalies. The tool generates a defect map with coordinates and type classification for each detected defect.
