NewView 9000 Optical Profiler at Photonics West 2018 Video Transcript

00:00 – 0:04: LaserFocusWorld Exhibitor Showcase SPIE photonics west 2018

00:05: Hi, my name is Eric FelKel and I am the Optical Profilers product manager at Zy Igo Corporation. And I’m here to show you one of our new products

00:14: that we’ve got at Photonics West, the New View 9,000. So, it’s the latest generation of coherent scanning interferometer in the new view family.

00:21: Coherent scanning interferometry is a technology that lets us do non-contact 3D surface profiling of virtually any surface, wether it’s rough

00:32: or smooth, whether it is flat or curved, whether it’s got discontinuous surfaces or it’s just a continuous surface.

00:42: Basically it works by sending white light down into a microscope objective that has its own interferometer and that interferometer

00:51: has a built-in reference surface and we compare whatever surface we wanna measure to that perfectly flat reference mirror inside the objective.

00:59: By scanning the objective away from the part, we can profile different heights very, very quickly. The New View 9,000, brings to this technology a very large sensor.

01:11: We’re going at 1.0 megapixels now, and it runs very, very quickly. It’s typically only seconds to make a measurement.

01:22: So in addition to being fast and large area, it’s also bringing some ease of use features to Coherent scanning interferometry, scanning interferometry.

0:1:32: [showing a close up of the machine] basically making it so you can go from bringing a part up to the tool to having data in reall

01:39: just a matter of seconds. So this demonstration part that I have is a small semiconductor sample, and I’m gonna show you how easy it is to go from setup

01:48: through making a measurement. So first think I do, I’ve got it underneath my system. It’s just sitting under the objective. It’s not in focus.

01:54: What I’ve done is I brought the system to look underath the part. I am just gonna press one button.

02:02: It’s a new button that we have in our software called Find Part. What this is gonna do is automatically scan through

02:08: and locate where the part is and optimize our light level so that all we need to do is press that, find part button,

02:15: and then start a measurement. The measurement is only going to take about five seconds and we’ve basically gone from installing a part

02:23: to having new data on the screen in less than a minute.
