What it is
The Zygo Newview 5000 is a 3D optical profilometer.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOptical profilometers typically operate on interferometric principles, such as scanning white light interferometry or phase-shifting interferometry, to generate three-dimensional surface maps.
The instrument scans the surface in the vertical direction and analyzes interference patterns to reconstruct height information at each pixel.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedOptical profilometers are used in semiconductor manufacturing and precision optics fabrication as metrology and inspection tools after processing steps such as deposition, etching, or polishing.
The measurement data can be used for process control, defect review, and surface quality assessment, providing feedback to upstream processes like chemical mechanical planarization or lithography.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedApplications include surface roughness measurement, step height and depth profiling, thin film thickness measurement, and defect analysis on wafers, optical components, and other planar substrates.
