Thin Film Measurement System TF-168


Introduction

Thin Film Measurement system TF-168 is an improved system of TF-166 with easier light beam alignment from the top. It functions non-contact optical measurement of thickness, refractive index, and absorption index of various multi-layer optical thin films and coatings.

Applications

Dielectric coatings on optical components, coated optical filters, semiconductor fabrication on wafers, liquid crystal devices, multi-layer polymer films.
Example thin film layer: SiO2, CaF2, MgF2, Photoresist, Polysilicon, Amorphous Silicon, SiNx, TiO2, Sol-Gel, Polyimide, Polymer Film.
Example substrate material: Silicon, Germanium, GaAs, ZnS, ZnSe, Acrylic, Sapphire, Glasses, Polycarbonate, Polymer, Quartz.

Thin Film Thickness Measurement System
  • One Thin Film Measurement main machine (110V-240V AC), Including a Tungsten Halogen light source and a PC based optical mini spectrometer with USB interface.
  • Beam transfer, projection, and receiving fiber cables and optical assemblies
  • New Span Thin Film Measurement Software version 5.1
  • One Silicon wafer as reflectance standard
  • Supporting hardware
  • PC requirement: >800 MHz clock, RAM 1 GB, Windows Vista, 7, 8, or Windows 10.

Separate Use of the Contained Light Source or Spectrometer

The main machine includes one Tungsten Halogen light source (360-2500 nm) and one PC-based USB mini spectrometer (350-1000 nm), each features an SMA 905 Connector.
By disconnecting the thin film measurement optical fiber from the internal light source and spectrometer, separate fibers can be connected to the light source and the spectrometer to facilitate other illumination or spectroscopic measurement applications.
