WaferScan

Advanced metrology system for automated wafer geometry characterization

Highlights

WaferScan Chromatic Confocal Spectroscopy

The WaferScanTM automated metrology system delivers rapid and accurate wafer geometry characterization to enable wafer manufacturers to meet the demanding lithography and CMP requirements imposed by 1x nm design rules and beyond.


Incoming wafer flatness variation and subsequent process induced-shape changes can result in drastic reduction in final device performance and yield. WaferScan obtains high-throughput measurements of stress-induced wafer shape changes, shape-induced overlay, wafer thickness variation, and front-side and back-side topography to address these issues. Measurements can be performed on various substrates, including polished, epitaxial, and SOI wafers.
