What it is

The Zygo Nexview NX2 is a 3D optical profiler.^[1]

The Nexview NX2 is part of Zygo’s optical profiler product family.^[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An optical profiler forms a three-dimensional height map by using optical imaging and surface-interrogation methods suited to precision surfaces.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Nexview NX2 fits in metrology rather than material removal or pattern transfer.

The Nexview NX2 is used after fabrication steps that create optical or microstructured surfaces, when surface form and texture need measurement and comparison to specification.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Nexview NX2 is suited to inspection of surfaces where noncontact topography measurement is appropriate.
