12. Dektak IIA profilometer

Description

Profilometry is a surface measurement technique to measure film step height or to quantify large-scale surface roughness. The profilometer at the Solar Fab is a contact profilometer in which a diamond stylus reacts vertically by virtue of contact with the sample while the sample is scanned laterally for a specified distance and with a specified contact force. The profilometer can measure small surface variations through vertical stylus displacement as a function of position.
