What it is

The KLA P 11 Surface is a surface profilometer in the metrology and inspection category.^[4]^[5]

The KLA P 11 Surface is part of the KLA P family.^[5]

How it works

Surface profilometers are used to evaluate roughness, waviness, step height, and related surface characteristics on precision parts and wafer surfaces.^[3]

The KLA P 11 Surface supports the bump process.^[1]^[5]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The KLA P 11 Surface is used for surface measurement on wafers and other finished or semi-finished surfaces that require topography control.

Applications

The KLA P 11 Surface is used for bump process measurement.^[1]^[5]

A P-11 profiler is used on semiconductor wafers, thin-film heads, precision-machined and polished surfaces, ceramics for micro-electronics, glass for flat panel displays, and optical surfaces.^[3]
