  • Basic Equipment Information
  • Operating Principle
  • Typical Application Case
Main Application

It enables non-contact and non-destructive thickness measurement of thin film samples, capable of testing thin film thickness and optical constants. It features fast measurement and simple operation, with accuracy typically reaching the nanometer or angstrom level. The wavelength range is selectable from ultraviolet to near-infrared. The sample stage supports 12-inch and smaller wafers, including irregular fragments, and supports automatic area scanning. It is widely used to measure the thin film thickness of various materials such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon, and photoresist.

 

Process/Testing Capabilities

It is applicable to the non-destructive measurement of thin film thickness for various materials such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon and photoresist. It is widely used in various fields ranging from basic research to industrial production, including semiconductor materials, thin film growth, and lithography process monitoring.

 

Technical Specifications

  • Detection wavelength range: 190nm — 1700nm.
  • The sample stage is compatible with 12-inch, 8-inch, 6-inch, 5-inch and 4-inch samples, and can also measure irregular-shaped samples.
  • Film thickness measurement accuracy: ≤±0.2% or 1 nm; measurement precision (100 consecutive tests): ≤0.02 nm; measurement stability (100 tests): ≤0.05 nm.
Ultraviolet and visible light irradiates the sample surface vertically. Part of the light is reflected on the thin film surface, while the other part penetrates the thin film and reflects at the interface between the thin film and the underlying material. Interference occurs between the reflected light from the thin film surface and that from the thin film bottom, resulting in oscillation of the reflected light intensity. Such light intensity oscillation is correlated with the incident light wavelength and the thin film thickness.

Keep the sample clean. For new materials, multilayer films, and samples with extremely ultra-thin or ultra-thick thicknesses, please contact the equipment administrator in advance.
The use of the ultraviolet light source requires prior contact with the equipment administrator.

Turn off all light sources after measurement is completed.

FAQs
  • 01
    No normal peak and valley signals during measurement.
    Abnormal Cause: The baffle or light source switch is not turned on, or the light source is damaged;

    Solution: Check the indicator light status of the baffle and light source switch buttons. The indicator stays steadily on when normally turned on. Contact the process engineer in case of any abnormality.
