XRF Thickness Analysis of Semiconductor Wafers

Our range of high-precision XRF analyzers for semiconductor wafers are ideal for coating thickness analysis on flip chip packaging and IC substrates. Precisely locate and analyze coating thicknesses for metallization, ball grid arrays (BGA), solder bump and under bump metallurgy. Easily and accurately analyze gold (Au), silver (Ag), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti) and chrome (Cr) from plating, CVD and PVD operations. Depending on your choice of optics technology, you can reliably measure down to the nanometer level for wafer features smaller than 50 µm (micron).

Collimators and Capillary Optics

Choose from two optics configurations: mechanical collimators or polycapillary optics, depending on the size of your wafer features and thickness of the coatings you need to analyze.

Collimators:

Ideal for features down to 100 µm, our analyzers with collimators offer multiple size options for optimized precision.

Capillary optics:

For features less than 100 µm and coatings in the nanometer-range, capillary optics are best. For our polycapillary optics XRF instruments, several capillary tubes are clustered together in a tapered configuration. This advanced technology can achieve the smallest spot sizes and direct more X-rays at the board, giving better precision on smaller areas.
