What it is

The Zygo Newview 7300 Optical is a metrology and inspection instrument.[5][6]

The Zygo NewView 7300 Optical is a white light interferometer and optical profilometer.[6][4]

The Zygo Newview 7300 Optical uses 1X and 5X objectives in one configuration and 5X and 50X objectives in another configuration.[1][2]

How it works

The NewView 7300 uses non-contact, three-dimensional, scanning white light interferometry with a closed-loop piezo-based scanner and capacitive sensors.[4]

The NewView 7300 uses ZYGO's Coherence Scanning Interferometry technology for three-dimensional optical surface measurement.[6]

The NewView 7300 includes motorized image zoom, motorized focus, and motorized stage options in some configurations.[4][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The NewView 7300 is used as a nondestructive surface measurement tool for characterizing topography without sample preparation.[6]

The NewView 7300 measures surfaces that include opaque, transparent, coated, uncoated, specular, and nonspecular parts.[4]

Applications

The NewView 7300 is used for step height measurements, surface roughness measurements, and three-dimensional mapping of surfaces.[6]

The NewView 7300 is used to characterize and quantify surface roughness, step heights, critical dimensions, and other topographical features.[6]
