CHARACTERIZATION EQUIPMENT
NANOMETRICS 8000X SE
Description
The Nanometrics 8000X SE is an advanced high resolution, fully automated, pattern recognition capable thin film measurement and characterization tool.
The system utilizes a Woollam spectroscopic ellipsometer to extend and complement the capabilities of its reflection spectrophotometer for standard and high-performance applications. These applications include the measurement of both very-thin and multi-layer film stacks, and the characterization of thin-films over a range of 210-800 nm wavelengths.
The ellipsometer uses a Windows-based operating system which is embedded in the NanoSpec 8000 OS/2 WARP operating system for a simple, common interface. The system enables high-speed, multi-spectral analysis, at an acquisition time of less than 1 millisecond per wavelength.
