TXRF-V310
WAFER SURFACE CONTAMINATION METROLOGY BY VPD-TXRF
Measurement of ultra-trace elemental surface contamination
Features
- Accepts wafers with dimensions of 300 mm, 200 mm, and 150 mm.
- Analytical elements in a wide range (NaU).
- Sensitivity to light elements (for Na, Mg, and Al).
- Rigaku is the only company that uses a single target 3-beam approach and an XY stage to do ultra trace analysis across the whole wafer surface.
- VPD preparation that is entirely automated and integrated for maximum sensitivity.
- Limits of detection: 1E7 atoms/cm2.
- For follow-up analysis, import measurement coordinates from defect inspection tools.
- Multitasking: operate the VPD and TXRF at the same time for maximum throughput.
Introduction
Rigaku NANOPIX SAXS/WAXS measurement system is a new X-ray scattering instrument designed for nano-structure analyses. NANOPIX can be used for both small angle scattering (SAXS) and wide angle scattering (WAXS) measurements, which makes it possible to evaluate multi-scale structures from sub-nanometer to nano-order (0.1 nm to 100 nm). It achieves the highest level of small angle resolution (Qmin to 0.02 nm-1) for a laboratory SAXS instrument.
