Thickness measurer

Thickness Measurer. Positioned in cleanroom D-3

There are 2 thickness measurers in the cleanroom, both positioned in cleanroom D-3. The Thickness measurer is for measuring all sorts of samples. The thickness measurer (wafers) is solely for measuring the thickness of wafers or depths of grooves on wafers.

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

The user manual, technical information and contact information can be found in LabManager:
