Optical Scanning Profilometry (OSP)

Surface mapping microscope photoSurface Mapping

The MicroXAM surface mapping microscope (ADE Phase-Shift) is a non-contact, three-dimensional profilometer. The capabilities of the microscope include measurements of roughness, finish and texture of surfaces ranging from highly-polished optics and wafers to rough surfaces, such as rolled metals, plastics, and ceramics. In addition, the step-height feature allows imprinted or elevated surfaces to be mapped, such as micromachined parts or imprinted text. We can quantitatively characterize surface features at subnanometer resolutions.

Measurement and Software Analysis

  • 3-D interferometric surface mapping: roughness, waviness, form
  • Magnifications of 5X, 10X, 20X, and 50X
  • Standard 2D and 3D surface statistics including summit and valley analyses and University of Birmingham specified S-parameters
  • Comprehensive graphical software for the acquisition, analysis, manipulation and visualization of data
  • Calculation of surface statistics including summit and valley analysis
  • Fourier and autocovariance analysis and surface filtering
  • Polynomial fitting, data filtering, scaling, masking and interpolation
    Interactive zoom
  • X-Y and line segment profiles
  • 3D wire, hybrid and solid plots
  • Area difference plot for step height measurement
  • Fourier analysis for visualizing and characterizing periodic structures in surface maps
  • Stitching of measurements to form a large scale, high-density map

Applications

Examination of small parts and semiconductors.
