Non-Contact 2D Step/Thickness (Roughness) Measurer
Release time:
2023-05-24
THINKFOCUS has been consistently dedicated to the research and development of high-precision spectral confocal measurement technology. The CLS-3000 two-dimensional profiler, equipped with a high-precision piezoelectric scanning mechanism, pushes the precision of spectral confocal technology to its absolute limit, achieving ultra-high measurement accuracy with a repeatability of 10 nm and an absolute accuracy of 20 nm.
Outstanding features
◆ Lower cost—1/2 to 1/3 the price of traditional contact profilometers.
◆ Smaller size—just 1/4 the volume of conventional contact profilometers, making system integration easier.
◆ Smaller measurement spot—measurement spot size: 2 µm
◆ Higher precision—10nm repeatability, 20nm measurement accuracy
◆ Non-contact measurement—does not scratch the sample surface and eliminates probe wear.
Main applications include: ink thickness measurement, MLCC thickness measurement, thick-film circuit measurement, silver paste thickness measurement, laser etching measurement, adhesive coating thickness measurement, surface roughness measurement of semiconductors and special materials, and more.

Main functions of the device
The device employs a piezoelectric scanning method to perform non-contact measurements of step height, thickness, roughness, and other parameters.
Scanning method:
1. The piezoelectric scanning stage drives the probe to scan, while the sample remains stationary.
2. The probe is fixed, and the piezoelectric scanning stage moves the sample for scanning.

Introduction to Measurement Software Features (Supports Chinese-English bilingualism)
Piezoelectric Scanning Stage Control and Data Acquisition Software
● Set the scan start position and other parameters, then click Start Measurement to acquire the contour.
● Data processing: If the acquired contour shows significant tilt, it can be leveled. Simple data processing can be applied to the acquired contour to obtain a more accurate contour curve. Upper and lower limits can be set for automatic qualification assessment.
