Physical property analysis
Physical property analysis
A physical property analysis is a process of measuring and evaluating the characteristics of a material or object. Examples of physical properties include density, hardness, colour, melting point, electrical conductivity, refractive index, and thermal expansion. A physical property analysis can help to identify, classify, compare, or select materials for various applications or purposes.

Thin Film Stress Measurement System, Flexus FLX-2320-R
Description
The FLX-2320-R is a thin film stress measurement instrument. It accurately measures the changes in the radius of curvature of the substrate caused by the deposition of a stressed thin film on the substrate.
Related Information
The intrinsic stress of a film is mainly caused by the atomic structure mismatch between the film and substrate at the deposition temperature. FLX 2320-R uses a laser interferometer to measure the curvature of a wafer with and without film deposition, which is then used in the calculation of the stress in the film deposited on the wafer. FLX 2320-R has two LASER wavelengths - 670 nm and 750 nm.
