What it is

The Jordan Valley JVX 6200 is an X-ray metrology tool that combines X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and small spot X-ray fluorescence (XRF) capabilities. The system supports 200 mm and 300 mm (12 inch) wafer sizes.[3][1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

X-ray reflectivity works by directing a collimated X-ray beam at a grazing angle onto the wafer surface and measuring the reflected intensity as a function of angle. The resulting interference pattern reveals the thickness, density, and roughness of thin films.

X-ray fluorescence uses a focused X-ray beam to excite atoms in the film, which then emit characteristic fluorescent X-rays. An energy-dispersive detector analyzes the emitted spectrum to determine elemental composition and stoichiometry.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Primary applications include measurement of thickness and density for dielectric films such as silicon dioxide and silicon nitride, metal films such as copper and aluminum, and barrier layers. The XRF mode provides elemental composition analysis for alloy films and dopant concentration in transparent layers.

Frequently asked questions

What type of samples can be measured with an X-ray metrology system?General reference — not yet source-verified

X-ray metrology systems can measure solid samples such as semiconductor wafers, coated glass or optics, and thin-film stacks on various substrates. The technique is non-destructive and can handle samples ranging from small test coupons to full production wafers or parts.

Is the measurement non-destructive?General reference — not yet source-verified

Yes, X-ray metrology is inherently non-destructive because X-rays pass through the material without causing damage, provided the exposure levels are within standard limits. The sample remains intact and can be used for further processing or analysis.

What are the typical measurement parameters available?General reference — not yet source-verified

Common parameters include film thickness (for single and multiple layers), density, surface and interface roughness, elemental composition, crystallinity, lattice strain, and residual stress. The exact set of available parameters depends on the measurement mode (XRR, XRF, XRD) and the system configuration.
