1、 Core technical principles
The NS-30 series film thickness gauge is based on the principle of white light interference for measurement. The device vertically irradiates high stability wideband light onto the thin film on the surface of the wafer to be tested. The incident light is reflected on the surface of the thin film, and another part is transmitted into the thin film and reflected at the interface between the thin film and the substrate. These two reflected light beams interfere with each other to form an interference pattern. Through spectral analysis and regression algorithms, parameters such as thickness, refractive index, and reflectivity of each layer of the thin film can be calculated.
