Where it fits in the process flow
The Veeco profilometer-R1 is part of the RAC1 inert atmosphere lab equipment set. The RAC1 inert atmosphere lab includes fabrication, microscopy, and metrology tools connected through an inert-environment workflow. The same lab equipment list includes thermal evaporation, reactive ion etching, electron-beam lithography capability, Raman microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and an optical profiler.[1]
Applications
The Veeco profilometer-R1 is used to measure surface topography and thin film step heights. The tool can be used to profile surface topography and waviness, as well as to measure surface roughness. The tool accommodates samples up to 200 mm in diameter and up to 90 mm thick.[2]
