This Scanning Kelvin Probe System moves 9 individual KP heads in vertical direction in order to realize an motorized approach between the KP Probe and the Sample. The Samples are clamped on a rotating chuck, while a rail moves all 9 heads simultaneously in X-direction along the radius of the wafer and thus allowing a scan range overlap between the heads. Software based length and work function calibration procedures make sure that the overlapping work function scans result in a uniform work function image of the total wafer area.
Automized procedures allow for imaging of full, half or quarter wafers as well as wafers with smaller diameters.
