XPS/XRF Leader
Nova offers the largest global installed base for fully automated XPS and XRF systems in the industry
Fully Automated
A fully automated thickness and composition solution for 300mm wafers interfaces seamlessly with all factory automation equipment such as overhead transport (OHT). These systems deliver and retrieve wafers automatically and upload measurement data to a host for statistical process control (SPC)
XPS/XRF Sensitivity
Both XPS and XRF measurements can occur simultaneously, offering unique value for resolving thickness and composition in complex film stacks
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
Wide Application Range
Offers compatible sensitivity to all elements except hydrogen and helium, and provides solutions for all process flows (logic, DRAM, 3D-NAND, MRAM, PCRAM)
