How to ensure your Profile Sensor Equipment is measuring accurately

Assuring Sub-Micron Height Measurement Confidence With Automated System Verification In high-yield manufacturing, like semiconductor, advanced electronics, medical device, precision optics, and aerospace, the cost of measurement uncertainty is high. Unplanned downtime, phantom defects, and measurement drift can easily erode your production margins. Metrology equipment needs to deliver highly accurate measurements while offering an easy, frictionless

How to Achieve Micron Precision in Thickness Measurement

In manufacturing of semiconductors, panels, boards, and other surfaces, thickness control is vital to the final product’s quality. Often, incoming substrate materials need to be measured for uniform thickness. Other times, as layers are added or bonded to surfaces the thickness needs to be constantly monitored. The best way to accurately measure thickness is by
