KLA-Tencor donated a KLA 5200XP, a wafer inspection system worth $0.5 M, to ISL.
This system includes a state of the art optical system that can notice
less than a micron defects in wafers used by chipmakers in the semiconductors industry. The system will be used to develop new imaging algorithms helping to monitor wafer quality.
Some of these algorithms will enable such system to navigate on a wafer using images only. KLA-Tencor is a leader in the
semiconductors inspection industry. KLA employs 6000 employees and has $1.5 B in sales
Some new projects using this state of the art equipment (e.g. - Tower is using a cheaper model
from KLA) are offered in the
ISL project list.
