It offers equipment comprising patterned and unpatterned wafer inspection, defect review, and classification; reticle defect inspection; packaging and interconnect inspection; critical dimension metrology; pattern overlay metrology; film thickness, surface topography, and composition measurement; measurement of in-chamber process conditions, wafer shape, and stress metrology; computational lithography tools; and yield and fab-wide data management, and analysis solutions. The company also offers component inspection systems, which is used for inspection of semiconductor IC packaging; wafer inspection systems that perform 2D and 3D inspection of semiconductor or LED wafers; and solar inspection, which inspects photovoltaic solar wafers and solar cells during solar PV cell manufacturing. Its defect inspection tools help to detect, count, classify, and characterize yield failures caused by particles, residues, and other contaminants, as well as pattern defects, surface anomalies, and electrical issues during the stages of IC manufacturing processes. The company's component inspection systems inspect various components that are handled in trays; and inspect for 3D planarity, evenness of contacts, and 2D surface aspects, as well as identification marks and orientation. Its metrology, analysis, and process window optimization products verify designs that are to be manufactured, characterize new processes, or monitor manufacturing processes. KLA-Tencor also provides yield management and related online tech support services, as well as offers software solutions to translate inspection and metrology data into consolidated information that reveal process problems.
