Thickness measurer

Thickness Measurer. Positioned in serviceroom CX1

The purpose is to measure the thickness of wafers, depths of larger grooves or height of larger mesas.

During a KOH etch it can be helpful to ensure no over-etching by making a thickness measurement during the etching.

Quality Control - Recipe Parameters and Limits

Quality Control (QC) for the Thickness measurer

The measured standard thickness is 0.1 mm. The measured result has to be within ± 0.005 mm. The QC is preformed once a year.


Equipment performance and process related parameters
