KLA
Hardware
Laser-scanning patterned-wafer inspection system for advanced logic and memory fabs, built around DefectWise, a deep-learning algorithm that separates defects of interest from pattern noise and nuisance defects inline to speed up process-excursion diagnosis.
E-beam patterned-wafer defect inspection system that finds defects other inspectors miss, using KLA's SMARTs deep-learning algorithms to separate defects of interest inline at leading logic and memory fabs.
Lasertec
Hardware
Automatic inspection and review system for semiconductor wafers that combines defect inspection, high-magnification review and 3D surface profiling in one device, with deep learning-based image classification.
