Facts

  • The SMFL has two Nanometrics Spectrophotometers
    • Nanometrics Model 210 is in Wet Etch 1.
    • Nanometrics Model 200 is in Wet Etch 2
  • The basic operating principle of a spectrophotometer is that the intensity of monochromatic reflected light depends strongly on film thickness because of interference.
    • The film thicknesses are comparable to the wavelength of the incident light.
  • The machine uses a computer-controlled grating monochromator and a photomultiplier tube detector to measure the reflected optical spectrum over the 350 to 800 nm wavelength band) from a bare silicon reference wafer and from the wafer under test.
  • Given an index of refraction for a thin film and the two measured spectrums, the computer will analyze the interference pattern to determine film thickness.
