Metrology tool for metal film measurement.(Test & Measurement)

* Designed for on-line and near-line measurements on semiconductor wafers, optical devices, high-density chip-scale packaging and substrate applications

* Uses a combination of microbeam X-ray collimation technology and traditional energy dispersive XRF (EDXRF) spectroscopy

* Non-destructive metrology technique measures thickness and composition of up to five layers of deposited metals simultaneously

* Also determines bulk alloy composition for up to 20 elements

* Use of optically collimated X-rays delivers intensity gains of up to 1000 times over traditional XRF tools

* X-rays generated by 50W X-ray tube are redirected and focused on sample surface

* Available in benchtop, console, and automated wafer handling configurations

* MicroXR microbeam XRF platform
