Reflection and Transmission inline monitoring for thin film measurement RT Inline

FTPinline_NIR

Highest speed for thin film measurement

Due to the internal reference technique, no external reference measurement on a separate position is necessary. That guarantees highest speed for sequential multiple point thin film measurements.

Multiple head set-up

Up to 7 sensor heads are driven by one controller, providing a cost effective solution for uniformity monitoring.

SENTECH advanced software

The easy-to-use, recipe oriented FTP software includes a large library of predefined applications that fit the requirements of R & D as well as of quality control in production environments.

The RT inline thin film measurement system is designed for inline quality control of deposition processes. The method is based on SENTECH well known Film Thickness Probe FTPadv for measuring reflectance and film thickness. It operates in the spectral range of 420 nm to 1,050 nm, 2,000 nm or 2,500 nm respectively. Smooth and textured TCO films, thin CdS films, a-Si, µ-Si, CIGS, and CdTe absorber films can be analyzed.

By RT inline, the uniformity of TCO, absorber and buffer layer depositions on large glass panels or plastic foils can be monitored without impairment. Film thickness and reflectivity measurement is done by fixed installed sensor heads above the glass panel during its transportation from the deposition system to the next process station.

Up to seven sensors can be operated by one controller making the RT inline an cost effective, flexible, and productive inline measurement tool. An optional ultrasonic sensor controls the distance between heads and glass platform to exclude wrong measurements.

SENTECH recipe driven FTP software FTPadv Expert comprises a comprehensive package of predefined ready-to-use applications. It offers an optional software interface to transfer data from the measurement system to the host computer. So, thin film measurement can be started manually or automatically by a signal from the host computer or conveyor.

Recipes developed using SENTECH SENresearch spectroscopic ellipsometer can be transferred directly to the RT inline. Based on such spectroscopic data, even complex layer stacks can be measured inline.
