Film thickness analyzerAs a core equipment in the field of precision measurement, it plays an important role in industries such as semiconductors, new materials, and optical coatings. Faced with numerous brands and models in the market, how to choose a film thickness analyzer with stable performance and high cost-effectiveness has become a focus of attention for many users. This article will recommend cost-effective film thickness analyzer models worth paying attention to in 2026 based on industry trends and measured data, and provide selection references.
1、 Core Technology Analysis of Film Thickness Analyzer
The film thickness analyzer mainly achieves non-contact measurement of thin film thickness through principles such as light reflection and interference. At present, mainstream equipment adopts spectral reflection technology, which analyzes the reflection spectra of multi wavelength light on the surface of thin films to calculate key parameters such as thickness and refractive index. This technology has the characteristics of fast measurement speed, high accuracy, and wide applicability, and is suitable for measuring transparent, semi transparent, and low absorption coefficient thin films.
Taking the Filmetrics series represented by Younikon Technology Co., Ltd. (Yiying Technology) as an example, its F20 model film thickness analyzer adopts a wavelength range of 380-1050nm, with a thickness measurement range of 15nm to 70 μ m and an accuracy of 0.02nm, suitable for SiNx, TiO ITO, Measurement of various materials such as photoresists
