FilmTek 2000M TSV

Advanced metrology system for high-throughput measurements in semiconductor packaging applications

FilmTek 2000M-TSV

The FilmTek™ 2000M TSV metrology system provides an unmatched combination of speed and accuracy for advanced semiconductor packaging applications. This system delivers best-in-class measurement performance and precision for high-throughput measurements for various packaging processes and related structures, including characterizing resist thickness, through silicon vias (TSVs), Cu-pillars, bumps, and redistribution layer (RDL).

 

High-yield TSV fabrication requires rapid, high-accuracy measurements of TSV etch depth and depth uniformity. The FilmTek 2000M TSV system features our patented optical method, based on normal incidence reflectometry, enabling users to efficiently and precisely measure the etch depth of high aspect ratio TSV structures. The system can readily determine etch depth for via structures with diameters greater than 1 µm up to a maximum etch depth of 500 µm. 

 

Moreover, our patented low power objective optical design enables the FilmTek 2000M TSV to achieve very small spot sizes — the same order as the diameter of targeted via structures — with a nearly collimated measurement beam. For example, the system can be configured such that a 10X objective gives a measurement spot size of 5 µm by 10 µm in the y and x dimensions, respectively. This optical design limits the angular spectrum of the collected light and maximizes the coherence of the spectral reflection from a high aspect ratio TSV or trench structure. The system can consequently deliver data with far greater clarity than metrology instruments that use a high power objective.

 

Additional capabilities include measurement of height or depth, critical dimension, and film thickness for microbumps, trenches, and a variety of other structures and applications.
