What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Film thickness measurement systems are metrology tools used to determine the thickness of deposited or grown layers on substrates. Film thickness metrology is commonly used to verify process results after deposition, oxidation, or etch steps and to support process control for thin film fabrication.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Film thickness measurement systems in this class use optical interaction with a film to infer layer thickness from the measured response. Such tools are typically applied to transparent or semitransparent films whose optical behavior can be related to thickness through a material model or calibration.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Film thickness measurement systems are used in process development, routine fab monitoring, and post-process verification of thin films. Typical applications include dielectric layers, optical coatings, and other films whose thickness affects electrical behavior, optical response, or subsequent pattern transfer.
