TFProbe® Software Version 3.X has all-in-one solutions for Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, Photometry and vision applications: simulation, data acquisition, regression analysis, system confiuration/setup, sample/wafer handling, mapping profile definition, 2D/3D results presentation, data management etc. Not like some vendors, collection data using one module, anlysing data using another third party software, we do all-in-one for you.
TFProbe 3.x has much more powerful functions added in modeling for our spectroscopic ellipsometer tools, comparing with TFProbe 2.x version, which is for our simple reflectometer tool's application. Theorectically, with TFProbe 3.x, users can build a model with as many layers as they want. Layers can be defined as homogenoues or inhomogeneoues. If it is inhomogeneoues, a refractive index can be profiled with many mathmatical functions. Between layers, an interface based on effective media approximation (EMA) could be inserted if necessary. An anisotropic layer can be also defined. Besides, quantum well/supper lattice style structure is easily built with supported periodic structure definition interface. Since ellipsometry is model based technique, a powerful software is key to get job done.
TFProbe 3.x comes with sophisticated scientific mode and also very simple operator user interface. That is why our tools are widely used in both research institue like universities, labs and also manufacturing enviroment for product developement and quality control. From time to time, we are also able to customize software to meet customer's special needs. For example, we added signal tower for spectroscopic ellipsometer delivered to Samsung for manufacuring envioronment purpose. We also added capability to log measureemnt results directly into Finisar's MsSQL database in their MES system.
Recently, we have integrated TFProbe 2.x into TFProbe 3.x so all functions supported reflectometry applications are avialable in TFProbe 3.x software. In addition, for reflectometry data, both version software share the same data format so all reflectometry data measured with TFProbe 2.x can be analyzed with TFProbe 3.x software, which shows our support effort to our reflectometer users. Of course, transmission simulation, measurement and analysis can also be performed with TFProbe 3.3
