TXRF-V310

TXRF Spectrometer with Integrated VPD 

High-speed metal contamination mapping 

Highest sensitivity with VPD 

Total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis can gauge contamination in all fab processes, including cleaning, litho, etch, ashing, films, etc. The TXRF-V310 can measure elements from Na through U with a single-target, 3-beam X-ray system and a liquid nitrogen-free detector system.

The TXRF-V310 includes Rigaku's patented XYθ sample stage system, an in-vacuum wafer robotic transfer system, and new user-friendly windows software. All of these contribute to higher throughput, higher accuracy and precision, and easy routine operation.

TXRF-V310 system for wafer surface contamination metrology by VPD-TXRF

TXRF-V310 Overview

Integrated vapor phase decomposition (VPD) capability enables automatic VPD preparation of one wafer while a TXRF measurement is made on another wafer for the highest sensitivity and high throughput. VPD-TXRF eliminates the operator variability that may occur with ICP-MS, and VPD-TXRF can be completely controlled via factory automation. VPD recovery from selected areas, including the bevel area, is available.

Detection Limit of typical elements (LLD)

Detection limit LLD (E10 atoms/cm²) Al Fe Ni Cu
TXRF 25 0.10 0.10 0.15
VPD-TXRF 0.1 0.001 0.001 0.002

Measurement time: 1000 sec  

Options

  • Sweeping TXRF software enables mapping of the contaminant distribution over the wafer surface to identify "hot spots" that can be automatically re-measured at higher precision.
  • ZEE-TXRF capability overcomes the historical 15 mm edge exclusion of original TXRF designs, enabling measurements to be made with zero edge exclusion.
  • BAC-TXRF capability enables fully-automated front-side and back-side TXRF measurements of 300 mm wafers with non-contacting wafer flipping.
