A Thin Silicon Wafer Thickness Measurement System by Optical Reflectmetry Scheme Using Fourier Transform Near-Infrared Spectrometer

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, measurable thickness range was improved by re-customized components of the thickness measurement system using the method of Fabry-Perot interference signature analyzing. A Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer with indium gallium arsenide was used in the developed system. As a result of the sensitiveness in the whole near infrared band and high spectral resolution united with high signal noise ratio of the FT-NIR spectrometer, the maximum measurable thickness is improved to 88μm while sub-micron order of the minimum measurable thickness is also improved.
