Extract

In the semiconductor and electronics industries the processes Involved in producing integrated circuit soften require thin films such as P205/SiO2, Si/Al, Ni/Cr, Fe/Ni, or others to be deposited on a substrate wafer. It is critical to the performance and life time of the device that the composition and thickness of these films be precisely controlled. The ability to quickly analyze wafers provides data which can be used to adjust fabrication parameters before large quantities of devices are lost.
