Measurement principle of KLA D600 probe-type surface profilometer product:
KLA D600 Probe-type surface profilometerOptical lever sensor technology is adopted. The optical lever sensor tracks the surface topography by using the laser beam reflected from the upper surface of the rotating shaft assembly. The reflected light beam is then projected onto the photodetector. For Alpha-Step, the light beam is divided into two parts: one side is projected onto the dual-cell photodetector, and the other side is projected onto the single-cell photodetector. This design enables high-resolution measurements of smaller steps on the first detector and larger steps on the second detector. The deflection of the laser beam changes when the probe traces the surface and is simultaneously sensed by the photodetector, which then converts this deflection into a topography signal. The advantage of optical levers lies in the small mass of the entire component, which enables low-force measurement. In addition, this sensor has a fast response speed and can track changes in surface morphology.
