About the JVX6200i(TM) production metrology tool

The JVX6200i(TM) was designed for high volume production metrology with full automation, high throughput, high uptime and low COO.

The JVX6200i(TM) is a multi-channel metrology tool for advanced semiconductors FEOL, BEOL and Wafer-level Packaging (WLP) applications. The popular configuration is XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) and XRR (X-Ray reflectance) for FEOL (Hi-K, Metal gate, SiON and ACL applications) and BEOL (Cu Seed Barrier, Cu CMP and UBM applications). New WAXRD (Wide Angle X-ray diffraction)configuration is targeting metrology of advanced metallization structures with in-line capabilities of monitoring grain size, texture and phase of the seed/barrier and Cu or W metal structures.
