TXRF-V310
WAFER SURFACE CONTAMINATION METROLOGY
simultaneous VPD AND TXRF
FOR THE HIGHEST THROUGHPUT
MEASUREMENT OF ULTRA-TRACE ELEMENTAL SURFACE CONTAMINATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
TXRF analysis can gauge contamination in all fab processes, including cleaning, litho, etch, ashing, films, etc. The TXRF-V310 can measure elements from Na through U with a single-target, 3-beam X-ray system, and a liquid nitrogen-free detector system.
The TXRF-V310 includes Rigaku's patented XYθ sample stage system, an in-vacuum wafer robotic transfer system, and new user-friendly windows software. These contribute to higher throughput, accuracy, precision, and easy routine operation.
Integrated VPD capability
Enables automatic VPD preparation of one wafer while a TXRF measurement is made on another for the highest sensitivity and high throughput. VPD-TXRF eliminates the operator variability that may occur with ICP-MS, and VPD-TXRF can be controlled entirely via factory automation. VPD recovery from selected areas, including the bevel area, is available.
Optional Sweeping TXRF software
Enables mapping of the contaminant distribution over the wafer surface to identify "hot spots" that can be automatically re-measured at higher precision.
Optional ZEE-TXRF capability overcomes the historical 15 mm edge exclusion of original TXRF designs, enabling measurements to be made with zero edge exclusion.
Optional BAC-TXRF
The capability enables fully-automated front-side and back-side TXRF measurements of 300 mm wafers with non-contacting wafer flipping.
