CD and Overlay Measurement

MicroLine is the name of an entire product group of optical CD and Overlay measurement systems. As the basis for recording image data, the manual system uses a conventional microscope for which the xy stage focus and the lighting are controlled via the CD and Overlay measurement system. In the semi-automated and the fully automated versions of these systems, a solid granite base with integrated vibration damper serves as the basis for a precision xy stage and as the bridge for the optical components of the system.

The origins of the complex analysis of gray scales and contrast go back more than 20 years. On the basis of this experience, a modern CD and overlay measurement system is available today with a number of adjustable parameters that allow reliable measurements of structures of any kind.

Together with the tested positioning equipment, the powerful CD and overlay measurement system offers high throughput for all tasks during production and development. On different levels, complex measurement tasks can be solved by using recipes for the automated production. The recipes are either selected by the operator using their name, or they can be activated by remote control using the identification on the wafer or the lot.
Based on the same principle, CD and Overlay measurement systems are available for large substrates with dimensions up to 1000mm x 1000mm, where a positioning speed of 800mm/s is achieved. Substrates with dimensions over 1.500mm are slanted on a stable frame, and the optical equipment is positioned at the corresponding measurement site.
Optical measurement systems for precise 3-D measurements of components, measurements on magnetic heads and ink jet nozzles as well as for checking optical waveguides during processing are further products that are highly regarded around the world because of their excellent precision and reliability.
