"The Omnitrac makes the benefits of laser tracking systems
available to a new class of users who may not have been able to afford
traditional interferometer based instruments," Sabino states. The system provides
real-time measurement of thickness and shape of dielectric materials and for
a variety of Low-K materials.

Additional Semiconductor Manufacturing Processes and OEM Integrations

REHOVOT, Israel, Nova Measuring
Instruments Ltd. NovaScan 3090 is integrated in the exact
same configuration as the NovaScan 3060 system, thus offering customers an
easy upgrade path.

Equipped with a single polarized channel, from Deep-UV to
Near-IR, the NovaScan 3090 supports the measurement of solid areas, 2D
structures and enables 3D shape characterization.

The type of products listed here are micrometers, calipers, plug gauges, thread gauges, surface plates, columns and all fixed gauging for manufacturing process.

Working with Boeing to
develop the first commercial laser tracker, API was granted the license to
tracker technology by NIST in 1988 and remains the exclusive licensee. The unmatched MAM time of NovaScan 3090, the dynamic
precision and tool-to-tool matching, along with built-in high reliability,
all offer our customers a production worthy tool covering a wide range of
metrology solutions, enabling Wafer-to-Wafer process control, without
affecting the process tool's overall throughput.
