Sheet Resistance Measurement

Sheet Resistance Measurement

Sheet resistance monitoring is critical to any industry that utilizes conductive films, from semiconductor manufacturing to the flexible electronics required to enable wearable technology. The Filmetrics® R-series sheet resistance measurement instruments have been developed based on over 45 years of KLA sheet resistance measurement innovation. Since the introduction of our first resistivity gauge in 1975, we have revolutionized both sheet resistance measurement and thickness measurement for conductive layers. The new Filmetrics R170 adds automated wafer handling and SECS/GEM to provide fully automated sheet resistance measurements for 200mm and smaller samples for semiconductor and compound semiconductor manufacturing.

Filmetrics® R170 Sheet Resistance Mapper

Sheet resistance process control is critical to any industry that utilizes conductive films, including semiconductor and compound semiconductor manufacturing. The Filmetrics R170 is the latest innovation in KLA sheet resistance and conductivity mapping systems. The automated R170 design represents a culmination of over 45 years of sheet resistance technology leadership.
