Thickness measurer

File:??.jpg

Thickness meassurer. Positioned in cleanroom 4

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

Doing a KOH etch can it be helpful to insure no over etching by making a thickness measurement doing the etch.

Quality Control (QC) for the Thickness measurer

The QC procedure The newest QC data The measured standard is 0.1 mm. The measured result have to be within +- 0.005 mm. The QC is preformed ones a year. Equipment performance and process related parameters Purpose Measurer the thinkness of silicon wafer ?? Performance ?? ?? Process parameter range Process Temperature 800-1150 oC Process pressure 1 atm Gasses on the system Substrates Batch size 1-30 100 mm wafers (or 50 mm wafers) per run Substrate materials allowed Silicon wafers (RCA cleaned) without metal bulk contamination Feedback to this page: click here This is a micrometer-screw. The Thickness measurer in Cleanroom 3 It measures with an accurracy within a few µm. The range is from a few µm up to 5mm. Measure the wafer in the box next to the meter. If this is ok, then other wafers can be measured. There is a calibration device by the DEKTAK. It is calibrated at 750µm.
