The FilmTek™ 3000 PAR-SE is one of our most advanced and versatile metrology solutions, able to meet extremely challenging measurement demands in both R&D and production environments. Though it achieves idustry-leading accuracy and precision in nearly any advanced thin film measurement application, this system excels at material characterization of product wafers and patterned films on both transparent and non-transparent substrates.
Like our other PAR-SE products, this system combines rotating compenstor-based spectroscopic ellipsometry, DUV multi-angle polarized reflectometry, our patented parabolic mirror micro-spot optical design, our proprietary Multi-Angle Differential Polarimetry (MADP) and Differential Power Spectral Density (DPSD) technology, and our advanced material modeling software and optimization algorithms. It is also uniquely capable of spectroscopic transmission measurements across an extended spectral range. As a result, FilmTek 3000 PAR-SE not only achieves industry-leading sensitivity to changes in ultra-thin films and multilayers, but is also uniquely well suited for use with absorbing patterned films or product wafers containing absorbing structures.
Additionally, the FilmTek 3000 PAR-SE's hardware and software can both be easily modified to satisfy unique customer needs and measurement requirements far outside those of mainstream film metrology applications, including those requiring generalized ellipsometry or more advanced automation.
Enables simultaneous determination of:
Virtually all translucent films ranging in thickness from less than 100 Å to approximately 150 µm can be measured with high precision. Typical application areas include:
With flexible software that can be easily modified to satisfy unique customer requirements in R&D and production environments.
