| Model |
:
|
KLA Tencor FLX 2320 |
| Specifications |
:
|
Measures curvature of plates and beams using laser. Heating stage upto 500C in ambient atmospheres or under inert gas shrouding . Liquid nitrogen can circulated to reach temperatures down to 0 C. Dual beam enables stresses measurements for transparent coatings as well. |
| Procedure |
:
|
Measure the curvature of substrate before and after the deposition and, knowing the substrate and film thickness and substrate elastic modulus, use Stoney’s equation to find the stress. |
| Statical Strain |
:
|
Maximum size is 8 inches wafer. Plates, disks, beams with longest measurable length less than 8 inches dia. can also be used. |
