Optical Gauge series

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document details the Optical NanoGauge and MicroGauge Thickness Measurement Systems developed by HAMAMATSU, designed for high-precision film thickness measurement in nanometer and micrometer ranges. These systems are suitable for semiconductor manufacturing, flat-panel display production, and film production, offering features like inline equipment integration and multipoint measurement.
Measurement Principle
The systems use spectral interferometry to measure film thickness by analyzing the spectrum produced by the phase difference of multiple-reflection light waves within a thin film. The Optical NanoGauge employs curve-fitting or FFT methods for spectrum analysis.
Product Lineup
Models include C12562, C10178, C11295, C10323 for NanoGauge, and C11011 for MicroGauge, featuring multipoint measurement, high-speed ultrathin film measurement, and easy integration into existing systems.
Performance and Benefits
The Optical Gauge series offers stability against angular and focus fluctuations, high-speed measurements up to 200 Hz, and the ability to measure films as thin as 10 nm. The systems are designed for easy installation and cost reduction.
Applications
These systems are used in semiconductor manufacturing, flat-panel display production, and film production, supporting processes like coating, deposition, and etching to improve yield and reduce process start times.
Technical Specifications
The C13027 model supports PLC connections, measures film thicknesses from 10 nm to 100 μm, and covers a wavelength range of 400 nm to 1100 nm. It features a compact design for easy integration and precise measurement capabilities.
Optional Features
Optional features include surface analysis for both-side-coated samples, mapping functions, and the ability to analyze optical constants (n, k).
System Configurations
Both in-line and off-line configurations are available, allowing integration into manufacturing equipment. Options for data analysis modules and various sample stages accommodate different sample sizes and measurement needs.
Principle of Operation
Spectral interferometry measures film thickness by analyzing the characteristic spectrum of light reflected from the sample, which varies with film thickness.
Additional Features
Mapping systems for thickness distribution measurement enhance quality control by confirming in-plane homogeneity. Optional acid-resistant probe heads and mapping stages are available for specific applications.

Measurement principle Spectral interferometry is used to measure film thickness. When light enters a thin film sample, multiple reflections occur inside the thin film. These multiple-reflection light waves boost or weaken each other along with their phase difference. The phase difference of each multiple-reflection light is determined by the light wavelength and optical path length (= distance that light moves back and forth in the thin film multiplied by the film refractive index). This phase difference allows the spectrum reflected from or transmitted through the sample to produce a unique...

Both surface analysis The analysis is performed using the film thickness measurement software for both surface U12708-01. (Patented) Both surface analysis for both-side-coated samples In some cases, a coating film is applied to the back side of thin film samples. If such both-side-coated samples are measured by an ordinary method, the fitting cannot be consistent as the effect of the film on the back side is not taken into account, and therefore accurate values cannot be obtained. In addition, if the thickness of the film on the back side changes, the system cannot follow the change during the...
