Santec: High-Accuracy Wafer Thickness Mapping System TMS-2000
The TMS-2000 maps the thickness distribution of semiconductor wafers with sub-nanometer repeatability even under conditions of temperature instability or environmental vibrations, circumstances where conventional wafer thickness mapping techniques may struggle. The system captures key wafer flatness measurements including global flatness, site flatness and edge flatness.
