What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Onto Innovation RPM 2000 PL Mapper is a semiconductor metrology and inspection tool.

How it works

The RPM 2000 PL Mapper can use laser excitation, white light for thickness measurements, and detector channels suited to a broad sensitivity range.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A PL mapper is used in wafer characterization rather than in pattern transfer or material deposition.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

PL mapping is used for compound semiconductor and optoelectronic wafer inspection where spatial variation in luminescence and thickness is relevant.
