How it works

The Nanospec 210 has a thickness measurement range of 100 to 500,000 angstroms. The Nanospec 210 has a typical measurement time of 2.5 seconds. The Nanospec 210 has a spot size of 50 um with a 5x objective, 25 um with a 10x objective, and 6.5 um with a 40x objective. The Nanospec 210 includes a reflectance mode for thick films. The Nanospec 210 has reproducibility of 5A ± 5% depending upon the film type.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Onto Innovation Nanospec 210 is used in semiconductor process control.[1]

Applications

The Nanospec 210 measures oxide on silicon, nitride on silicon, negative resist on silicon, polysilicon on oxide, negative resist on oxide, nitride on oxide, polyimide on silicon, positive resist on silicon, and positive resist on oxide. The Nanospec 210 uses reflectance mode for thick films.[3]
