|SFOCUS uses the bottom AE mark to measure the beam diameter while adjusting the objective lens. The objective lens is defined to be in focus where the machine finds the minimum beam diameter. This program can also be used to observe the depth of focus of a certain condition file. The graph shows the beam diameter versus position of objective lens. The position of the objective lens is converted to a difference in substrate height by executing the subprogram 'HCOEFFI'. <br><br> Please note, that SFOCUS does not work well for currents larger than 6 nA; at higher currents the focus should be set manually. This is to be done by DTU Danchip staff only.

HEIMAP is a sub program that measures height of the substrate with an IR laser. The incidence angle of the laser is 73 degrees.
HEIMAP is a sub program that measures height of the substrate with an IR laser. The incidence angle of the laser is 73 degrees.
'''It has been observed by one user, that HEIMAP does not work on a SOI wafer coated with a thin layer of e-beam resist and ESPACER''', most liekly due to a Fabry-Perot effect in the substrate. The problem was solved by using thermally evaporated Al instead. The refractive index of Al (at 800 nm) is approximately 2, the refractive index of ESPACER approximately 1.25.
