Optical Instruments » Thin Film Measurement System TF-168M
Introduction
TF-168M thin film measurement system adds the micro-spot measurement capability to TF-168 through a microscope interface. The added longer measurement optical fiber and an adaptor allows the alignment beam to be provided over the top of the microscope while the reflectance signals are collected from a center optical fiber. A measurement spot size as small as 5 micron is possible depending on the microscope optics selection. This instrument functions non-contact optical measurement of thickness, refractive index, and absorption index of various 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.
