The Olympus LEXT OLS 5000 3D is a 3D measuring laser microscope categorized under Metrology & Inspection.[1][2][3]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe LEXT OLS 5000 3D uses a laser scanning confocal microscope to acquire topographic data from a sample surface.
The instrument combines a laser source with confocal optics to reject out-of-focus light, enabling high-resolution height profiling and three-dimensional reconstruction of surface features.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe LEXT OLS 5000 3D is used in semiconductor fabrication for post-process inspection of patterned wafers, including photoresist structures, etched features, and deposited layers.
The tool serves as a quality-control station between process steps such as lithography, etch, and deposition to verify dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe LEXT OLS 5000 3D is employed for surface roughness measurement, step-height calibration, cross-section profiling, and defect characterization on semiconductor wafers and other precision substrates.
