In this webinar, KLA Instruments™ presents use cases for through-glass measurements of microfluidic devices as well as deep trench measurements using the Zeta™ 3D optical profiler. The focus of this webinar is to discuss the use of non-contact 3D surface profilers for challenging surface metrology applications, including high aspect ratio device structures.
About the Webinar
3D surface profilers are in wide use today across many industries due to their ability to quickly deliver critical topographic data, and optical profilometers provide non-contact measurements of step height, surface roughness, curvature, and more. Important advantages of optical profilers include minimal sample preparation, measurement of and through transparent surfaces, and the ability to measure high aspect ratio structures.
Key metrology metrics of microfluidic devices include channel dimensions, interface effects, and surface roughness, all of which impact fluid flow. This webinar discusses the measurement techniques of the Zeta optical profiler specifically for these types of devices, including both open-channel and closed-channel measurements of surface roughness, cover thickness, and channel depth and width.
High aspect ratio measurements are required for many types of devices, including etched trenches, where the non-contact, non-destructive optical technique of the Zeta systems is especially important. This webinar discusses the use of this technology for accurate and automated measurements of deep trenches created by reactive ion etching (RIE), including trench depth, roughness, the radius of curvature of the trench bottom, and more.
