Ellipsometry and Reflectometry

FilmTek 3000M

Micro-spot reflection-transmission metrology for patterned, non-uniform, and thick films on transparent substrates 

FilmTek 3000M

The FilmTek™ 3000M micro-spot reflection-transmission metrology system enables efficient and accurate measurement of patterned films deposited on transparent substrates, including wafers. Moreover, it outperforms the micro-spot measurement capabilities of conventional systems, even on non-uniform samples, and can characterize films far thicker than competing instruments can accommodate.

 

Conventional micro-spot film metrology systems use high-power objectives, making them prone to significant signal degradation and optical artifacts. Conversely, FilmTek 3000 uses our patented microscope-based optical design — characteristic of all our "M" series instruments — featuring a low-power objective with a nearly collimated beam. It is consequently able to achieve a measurement spot size down to 2 µm with consistently high signal fidelity during small- and micro-spot measurements. As a result, FilmTek 3000M delivers spectral reflection and transmission measurements with maximum signal coherence, providing best-in-class accuracy and reliability on samples not easily or feasibly measured with conventional instruments.

 

Options are available to optimize FilmTek 3000M's design for more specialized measurements, including large custom sample stages for flat panel display applications. This system can also be configured to provide fully-automated imaging-based critical dimension (CD) measurement of patterned samples, allowing for simultaneous CD and film thickness measurement.
