Through Silicon Via (TSV) Metrology

FilmTek™ 2000M TSV Metrology Advantages

  • Fully automated metrology platform for fast and reliable critical dimension, etch depth, and film thickness measurement over a wide range of TSV sizes and aspect ratios
  • CD precision (1σ) < 0.2%
  • Etch depth precision (1σ) < 0.005%
  • Film thickness range: 10nm - 350μm
  • Film thickness precision (1σ) < 0.005%
  • Measurement time of 1-2 seconds per point
  • Pattern recognition by Cognex
  • Lowest total cost of ownership

 

TSV Depth Measurement of High Aspect Ratio TSV Structures

        
Interference between reflected waves is caused by optical path length difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the TSV structure
The spot size must be small (same order as via diameter) and the measurement beam must be nearly collimated to observe interference in the reflected light
Patented FilmTekTM technology allows a small measurement spot size without the use of a high power objective
