General OverviewGeneral Overview (click here to collapse)

DUV-Vis-NIR (Wavelength Range: 190nm – 1000nm) Scatterometers/
Thin Film Metrology Systems for Transparent and Opaque Substrates,
Designed for Conventional and EUV Photomasks

The n&k Gemini and Gemini-M are specifically designed for measurements of Conventional and EUV photomasks. These tools are based on polarized Reflectance (Rs and Rp) and polarized Transmittance (Ts and Tp) measurements, with a 50μm spot size for Rs, Rp, Ts, Tp. Polarized Reflectance and Polarized Transmittance are simultaneously measured to determine film thickness and n and k spectra from 190nm – 1000nm, as well as depth, CD and Profile of trenches and contact holes of Conventional and EUV photomasks.

The Gemini Series is our “next-generation” DUV-Vis-NIR Scatterometer/Thin Film series for photomasks. This series was launched in 2011, superseding the previous generation 5700-CDRT and 1700-CDRT. Advancements in the optical design of the Gemini Series provide a 50μm spot size for Ts and Tp in comparison to the 200μm spot size of previous generations.
