Claim 10:
11. A processing tool, comprising:
a housing enclosing a processing chamber;
an input/output port configured to pass a wafer from a wafer carrier through the housing into and out of the processing chamber;
a macro-inspection system including a first camera and a second camera which are arranged along rails of a gantry system within the processing chamber, the first camera arranged along a first side of the rails and configured to image a first side of the wafer while the wafer is at a first location and the second camera arranged along a second side of the rails and configured to image a second side of the wafer while the wafer is at a second location that differs from the first location; and
a micro-inspection system arranged within the processing chamber and configured to image the first side of the wafer while the wafer is at a third location that differs from the first and second locations, the first side of the wafer being opposite the second side of the wafer.
