The Dektak 8 stylus profiler is a product of Veeco Instruments. It is used for profiling surfaces of samples with structures in the micro- and nanometer range. The size of the structures that can be measured is limited by the tip dimensions.
It can measure specific structures found with the help of a high magnification video camera or it can be programmed to measure several points defined with respect to some deskew points. It can also be used for [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Characterization/Stress_measurement|stress measurements]] of thin films by measuring the wafer bow.

=== Height measurement accuracy ===
[[#Height measurement accuracy for the DektakXT|See above for the DektakXTA]] as the considerations for the Dektak 8 are the same, though the resolution and measurement repeatability is a tiny bit better for the Dektak 8 than for the DektakXTA.
