Optical Profilometry

Optical profilometry (OP) is a non-contact interferometric-based method for characterizing surface topography. A typical optical profilometer analysis provides 2D and 3D images of a surface, numerous roughness statistics, and feature dimensions. In addition to these standard measurements, EAG can also perform many advanced optical profilometer analyses with a state-of-the-art Bruker Contour GTX-8 3D optical microscope. These include:

  • Analysis automation for high-throughput measurements of several hundred features on a single sample, such as patterned wafers or die features
  • Thickness determination of transparent, continuous films.

OP is suitable for numerous applications and sample types because it can accommodate many sample geometries, offering a wide range of possible analytical dimensions and a versatile Z-range, covering a broad range of potential surface roughnesses. EAG is committed to working with our clients to develop unique approaches for characterizing the topographies of even the most challenging samples with our 3D optical microscopy capabilities.

Ideal Uses
  • Step height and dimensional measurement
  • Characterizing wear and friction of mechanical parts
  • Determining consistency of solder bump heights, e.g. on flip chips and other advanced packaging
  • Correlating roughness measurements with materials properties, e.g. adhesion, corrosion, appearance
  • Measuring the radius of curvature of microfluidic channels, optics, etc.
  • Assessing bow on coated/processed wafers, e.g. MEMS fabrication
  • Quantifying thickness of continuous, transparent films (i.e. no physical step is needed)
  • High-throughput screening of multiple features on a die or wafer
