TIC – Advances in measurement
Standards in measuring techniques – by means of circular polarized light, it is easy to measure step heights, whereby the interference pattern direction can be adjusted to the specimen (see figures). With a measuring range of about 5 µm. With clearly defined levels, precision up to 20 nm may be achieved! TIC – Total Interference Contrast: an innovative technique, easy to use and attractive in price. Overview Contrasting Methods
