KLA-Tencor + SOITEC inspection tools JDP soitec.com However, unlike traditional silicon substrates, SOI and other engineered substrates are composed of multiple film layers of different thickness (depending on the target IC application), which create interference effects that cause current inspection technologies to provide false and inconsistent defect readings, as well as inadequate overall sensitivity.
