What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA thin film metrology system measures film properties on wafers by combining optical measurement methods with wafer handling and stage positioning. A system of this class typically uses reflected light and pattern recognition to evaluate film thickness and related optical properties on selected wafer sites.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA thin film metrology and inspection tool fits in the wafer fabrication flow after film deposition and before later process steps that depend on film thickness, refractive index, or uniformity control. A system of this class supports process monitoring, recipe verification, and comparison of measured film properties across wafers and measurement sites.
Why won't it start?
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
- The sensor on the wafer chuck does not illuminate, although the inspection function remains operational.
- The built-in monitor is not functioning; an external monitor can be used.
