Broad Thin-Film Metrology Capabilities
Measure a wide range of properties across diverse materials and thickness ranges, including:
- Properties: film thickness, refractive index, total thickness variation (TTV), composition and crystallinity, critical dimensions (CD), and roughness
- Layer thickness: from bare substrate (<1 Å) to very thick (2 mm)
- Sample types: dielectrics, semiconductors, III-V films, thin metals, metal oxides
Inline Process & Composition Control
Support process monitoring and characterization of thin-film properties across semiconductor manufacturing applications.
- Inline control for multi-layer film thickness and refractive index on micron-sized device features
- Inline composition control (e.g., %Ge in SiGex) for thin films
- Inline process control of thin metal oxide thickness to prevent non-wet open failures
3D Structure Metrology
Measure critical dimensions and structural features with high throughput and repeatability.
- Inline monitoring of high aspect ratio TSV depth and CD
- Accurate, high-throughput trench depth measurement
Silicon Photonics Film Characterization
Characterize optical films used in photonic device fabrication with high-resolution thickness and refractive index measurements.
- High-resolution measurement of film thickness and refractive index for silicon photonics (e.g., SiON, Si₃N₄)
