Precision non-contact control of surface microtopography with nanometer resolution. The method provides three-dimensional relief data for the quantitative assessment of roughness, defects, and geometric parameters of microstructures.
The full-field white light interferometry method allows for non-destructive testing of surfaces with sub-nanometer precision. The technology is based on the analysis of the interference pattern arising from scanning the surface with coherent radiation.
The equipment provides automated acquisition of topographic maps followed by quantitative data processing. It is possible to perform static and dynamic measurements, including roughness, waviness control and micro-relief parameters.
The Engineering Center for Radio-Electronic Instrumentation of the St. Petersburg Technopark provides surface profile measurement services using the Nikon BW-S505 optical profilometer, operating on FVWLI technology — full-field white light interferometry. The method ensures accurate 3D micro-relief datawithout contact with the sample and with nanometer vertical resolution.
The service is used for roughness analysis, micro-defect detection, micro-volume depth measurement and finish quality control. It is suitable for both process control and scientific research in microelectronics, materials science, precision mechanics, and other related fields.
Measurements are performed by qualified specialists with interpretation of results upon the customer's request and the potential issuance of a report.
