Comments:
  • Unless any additional inspection sites are specified, this step will include inspection of only two CD features per wafer.
  • If resolution structures are included in the mask, their images will be taken and posted in the runcard.
  • For any other or additional inspection, the customer will specify the location and nature of inspection, and it will be custom quoted.
