The Nikon 6 Profile Projector Optical Comparator is a precision optics profile projector and optical comparator. The Nikon 6 Profile Projector Optical Comparator supports 12-inch wafers. The Nikon 6 Profile Projector Optical Comparator uses a 20x objective lens.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedProfile projectors and optical comparators are inspection and measurement tools rather than process tools. Profile projectors and optical comparators are typically used around fabrication, mask, metrology, and quality functions where operators need visual confirmation of shapes, edges, alignment features, or dimensional conformity. Profile projectors and optical comparators generally fit after a part or substrate has been made or patterned and before release, rework, or downstream assembly decisions.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedProfile projectors and optical comparators are used to inspect projected profiles, edges, and geometric features on wafers, masks, fixtures, and fabricated parts. Profile projectors and optical comparators are used for comparative checking, dimensional verification, and visual assessment of feature form. Precision optics comparators are commonly applied where contact measurement could risk damage or where a magnified silhouette is useful for operator judgment.
