Chamber Integration Kits for Near-process Measurement​

Higher Throughput and higher yield through electrical characterization of wafers and Metal Layers

Overview of Near Process Integration Options

SURAGUS offers several options to enhance cluster deposition tools with integrated measurement solutions

Higher Wafer Yield and Higher Wafer Throughput

through high-speed measurements
because of no contact to layers

Higher Throughput

through increased system up-time

Better Device Performance and Improved Yield

through live improvement of process parameters because of in-chamber testing
