kSA MOS UltraScan

Scan reflective samples of various sizes — from wafers to glass panels — at resolutions better than 1 µm…

The kSA MOS UltraScan integrates the original kSA MOS technology into a standalone unit with an x,y scanning range of 300 mm at exceptional resolutions. The scans are fully programmable and repeatable for selected area or full area map of wafers. The system also provides unmatched curvature, stress, and bow analysis capabilities.
