The Filmetrics F32 is a compact half-width 3U rack-mount thin film monitoring platform purpose-built for continuous in-line and vacuum chamber integration in industrial manufacturing, delivering non-contact spectral reflectometry measurements to track film thickness, refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k) and real-time deposition rate without disrupting production workflowsFilmetrics. Its modular spectrometer architecture enables expansion up to four independent measurement channels simultaneously, ideal for monitoring multiple coating zones, multi-layer stack deposition or dual-side web processes; extended spectrum variants like F32-UV, F32-EXR, F32-NIR and F32-XT expand measurable thickness from 1 nm ultra-thin gate dielectrics up to 450 μm thick polymer passivation films across far-UV to near-infrared bands.
Fiber-coupled probe optics with interchangeable focusing lens assemblies allow flexible mounting inside vacuum chambers, sputtering tools, roll-to-roll coaters and solar cell deposition lines, with variable measurement spot sizes adaptable to small patterned wafer die and large-area continuous substrates. Native digital I/O hardware enables fully automated process control: triggering measurements, resetting recipes and feeding real-time thickness data to factory SPC and MES systems for closed-loop deposition tuning, eliminating manual operator intervention during 24/7 production runs.
Supplied with FILMeasure industrial measurement software preloaded with a database of over 100 pre-calibrated material models including SiO₂, SiN, photoresist, ITO, polyimide and Parylene, the platform supports fast single-second spectral fitting for single and multi-layer film stacks, automated baseline calibration and customizable data logging templates. All F32 variants feature simplified USB PC connectivity for quick setup, compact rack footprint to save valuable fab cabinet space, and long-lifetime halogen light sources for years of stable continuous operation.
