 Metal Film Metrology 

MESEC

MESEC SAT-3000 (stand-alone type)
MESEC BIT-2000 / 3000 (built-in types)

The cost effective in-tool or stand alone copper film thickness and uniformity measurement system.

Benefits

MESEC - A cost-effective metrology system for metal film thickness measurements.

IMPROVE PROCESS RELIABILITY

MESEC gives you reliable, metal film thickness measurements using Eddy current detection technology. Now you can make process corrections fast.

  • Non-contact, non-destructive measurements
  • Directly evaluate device wafers, not test/witness wafers
  • Copper films from 0.03um to 5um can be measured faster and more accurately

REDUCE COST

MESEC is available at a fraction of the cost of other metrology systems. ULVAC makes it easy to add MESEC to your PVD, CVD, plating and CMP processes

  • for either 200mm or 300mm applications.
  • Retrofit your existing process tool
  • Integrate it into your new tool
  • Buy it as a stand-alone system


Features

  • Measures metal thin-film thickness and sheet resistance non-destructively and without contact.
  • Built-in models have a compact eddy current sensor that gives quick measurement speed which enables MESEC to be integrated into PVD, CVD, plating, CMP or similar tools where accurate measurement of metal film thickness is critical.
  • ULVAC's advanced measurement electronics eliminates measurement drift and results in outstanding reproducibility.

 

Data Analysis Features

The software supplied with the MESEC stand-alone version has full surface metrology and data analysis capabilities.

Single point, multi-point diameter scans and multi-point 3-D surface scan functionality is included.

 

 

Applications

  • Metal film thickness / sheet resistance quality control in semiconductor manufacturing
  • Deposition system status checks, process evaluations
  • Providing real-time process control information to deposition equipment
