The Impact/Online automated defect classification (ADC) system from develop a defect classification scheme on one system and export it to other fabs running the same processes. The standardized classification scheme permits process engineers working in different fabs around the world to collaborate in solving defect problems. The matching capability is available for the KLA-2132 and 2135 inspection systems,

Web Inspection Systems
Web inspection systems are used for the detection and/or automatic identification of web or web coating patterns and defects or problems such as streaks and blurs.
Surface Profilometers
Surface profilometers are contact or non-contact instruments used to measures surface profiles, roughness, waviness and other finish parameters.
Automated Test Equipment
Automated test equipment (ATE) is used to monitor and control test and measurement devices, keeping human interaction at a minimum.
Logistics Services
Logistics services manage the flow of goods and services between the point or origin and the point of consumption.
Laser Pointers
Laser pointers are compact instruments that produce a low-power, visible laser light. They are often used for pointing out features on a projected visual display.
