What it is

The KLA-Tencor eV 300 is a fully automated, production-grade SEM specialized for defect review and analysis. The system can be equipped with an Oxford EDX detector for elemental composition measurements.[2][3]

How it works

The eV 300 provides automatic defect classification (ADC) to sort defects by type in real time. The tool supports tilt and rotation of the wafer for multi-angle imaging, voltage contrast review for electrical defect detection, and high aspect ratio interconnect (HARI) imaging for deep structures. Landing energy can be set up to 19 keV, enabling unambiguous material identification. The system integrates with KLA-Tencor's Klarity Defect data management platform for further analysis and excursion monitoring.[2]

Applications

The eV 300 is suited for both in-line monitoring and engineering analysis at 0.13 micron and smaller technology nodes. Specific capabilities include voltage contrast review for electrical defect detection, high aspect ratio interconnect (HARI) imaging for deep vias and trenches, and elemental analysis via EDX when equipped.[2][3]
