Stylus Profilometer

KLA Tencor P-7

Overview

KLA Tencor P-7 Profilometer

The KLA Tencor P-7 Profilometer is a physical thickness measurement tool that uses a capacitance difference to measure the surface topography and profile of a sample. The stylus is made up of a diamond tip with a 2.5μm diameter that laterally passes across the sample for a given distance. It measures both the step height and the roughness.
