XHEMIS EX-2000

XRR and EDXRF Metrology Tool for Blanket Wafers

Thickness, density, roughness, and composition of films on blanket wafers

In-line high-volume semiconductor manufacturing

This versatile X-ray metrology tool uses X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) for high-throughput non-destructive measurement of thickness and density of blanket wafers ranging from ultrathin single-layer films to multilayer stacks for process development and film quality control.

XHEMIS EX-2000 Overview

Designed for high-volume manufacturing

XHEMIS EX-2000 is designed for high-volume manufacturing of up to 200 mm wafers. Outstanding stage alignment before measurement enables quick and accurate measurement of a variety of wafer samples. The highly accurate stage control enables full-surface mapping measurements in a short time.

User-friendly designed tool

When equipped with a transfer robot, XHEMIS EX-2000 can handle wafers automatically. AutoCal (an automatic calibration function) maintains constant tool conditions. User-friendly software makes tool operation and data analysis easy. This tool can be used for a variety of applications from research to production for quality control.

Application examples

Barrier metal, Al/W wire, W process, backside electrode, oxide/nitride films, LED, filters, power devices, MEMS
