Measurement Locations

Measurements on 2D pads or in-die add value by offering customers measurement location options. In-die measurements typically maintain the highest correlation to electrical performance

Direct Measurement

Directly measures the photoelectrons from a single ultra-thin layer or multiple layer stack. This is superior to optical methods, which convolve thickness and optical properties, by using a direct uncorrelated measurement of thickness and composition resulting in the only viable solution for ultra-thin film and complex stacks

Improved Precision

Provides improved results for films comprised of dopants or non-proportional elemental compositions

New Application Enabler

Enables new applications for emerging thinner films and film structures in advanced Memory and Logic with simultaneous XPS and XRF capabilities. The combination of XPS and LE-XRF addresses dose and thickness measurements of complex films simultaneously
