The Sensofar S Neox 3D Optical Profiler has a sensor head that combines confocal, interferometry and focus variation techniques  as well as thick and thin film measurement capabilities.
 
The Neox sensor head provides standard microscope imaging, confocal imaging, confocal profiling, PSI (Phase Shift Interferometry), CSI (Coherence Scanning Interferometry), Active illumination (Ai) Focus Variation and high resolution thin film thickness measurements on a single instrument.
 
The main purpose is 3D topographic imaging of surfaces, step height measurements in smaller trenches/holes than can be obtained with standard stylus methods (i.e. with aspect ratios higher that 1:1), roughness measurements with larger FOV (Field Of View) than the AFM, but less horisontal resolution.
 
For most samples the optical profiler provides fast and easy information without any sample preparation. However, it can be necessary to cover thin transparent layers (< 2 µm) with a thin layer of metal.
 
The resolution is limited by the objectives and the pixel resolution.

'''Analysis software:'''
*Free analysis software for visualizing and analyzing AFM and Optical profiler files (Sensofar) [http://gwyddion.net Gwyddion]
*SensoView software from Sensfar want also be downloaded for all users: U:\Nlab\CleanroomDrive\_Equipment\Optical profiler Sensofar\SensoVIEW 1.6.0
*We have an extra license to the more advanced SensoMap software. As a user of the system you can access this by remote desktop here: DTU-8CC0321MFL. You log in using your DTU login.
