Veeco
NT 3300
The Veeco / Wyko NT 3300 is a non-contact optical profiler used for surface metrology. The NT 3300 features a 200 mm stage and includes objectives of 10x and 50x with additional barrel options.[1][2][3]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA metrology profiler is a measurement tool used to characterize surfaces and features rather than to modify materials. Profilers are used in semiconductor and precision-manufacturing workflows to measure topography, step height, and other surface-related properties.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe NT 3300 belongs to the optical-profilometry class of instruments. An optical profiler measures a surface by analyzing light reflected from the sample and converting the optical response into surface-height information.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe NT 3300 fits in the measurement and inspection portion of a fabrication flow. The instrument is used after process steps that create surfaces, films, or patterned features, when dimensional or topographic verification is needed.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe NT 3300 is used for surface-profiling and metrology tasks in semiconductor and microfabrication environments. The instrument supports inspection of surface features that require noncontact optical measurement.
