What it is

The Filmetrics F80-A is a film thickness mapping tool designed for patterned wafers.[1][2]

The tool integrates full F80 functionality with Ricmar's WTT 300 Wafer Transfer Tool in a single EFEM platform.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Film thickness mapping tools of this class use spectral reflectance to measure the thickness of thin films on a substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Filmetrics F80-A is used in semiconductor manufacturing for in-line product-wafer metrology, specifically to measure film thickness on patterned wafers.[2]

Applications

The F80-A is applied to patterned wafers for product-wafer metrology in semiconductor fabs.[2]

  • Patterned wafers
  • Product-wafer metrology
