Si-71 Wafer Thickness System
Introducing patented, breakthrough technology!

This product optically measures the thickness of silicon or other materials using infrared light.

This tool can help solve your backthinned wafer yield problems or enable reduced thicknesses.

* Materials: Si, GaAs, InP, quartz, resist, ...

* Measure bumped wafers

* Measure through tape on top or bottom

* Allows conductive substrates

* 300 mm vacuum chuck

* Also available as manual positioning or as an integrated metrology tool

Foothill Instruments Metrology Application, Main Screen
Production mode

* Automatically measure multiple sites on wafer

* One button RUN generates thickness results with statistics

* Alerts may be defined for thickness and fit out of range condition

* Advanced Wafermap® software for mapping and statistical process control (SPC) production screen capture

Semi-auto mode

* Allow mapping with manual positioning


Engineer mode

* Manual site measurement

* Pattern and film editors for production program definition

* Sophisticated editor generates grid, ring, line, or custom patterns

* Absolute reflectivity measurements

* Export reflectivity and model data to text files

* Maintenance functions
