Measuring Glass wafer thickness with a Proforma 300i
Measuring glass substrate thickness with a Proforma 300i Semiconductor Glass Wafer Thickness Measurement Thickness Applications testing of glass (substrate) thickness An applications experiment was made with the MTI Proforma 300i Semiconductor thickness system to determine if it’s useful to measure glass substrate thicknesses typically found as support structures for Si semiconductors that are used for fabricating MEMs components and other thin Si wafers. The MEMs Silicon wafer is so thin after grinding that it needs the support of a thicker substrate to prevent breakage of the wafer during the back grinding/thinning [...]

Exploring the Different Types of Aircraft Vibrations
There are two main types of aircraft vibrations: normal and abnormal. Normal vibrations regularly occur when an airplane is in flight and during takeoff and landing. These oscillating or reciprocating motions do not indicate potential defects with the aircraft or its engines and can be explained by routine operations such as flying through turbulence or extending or retracting the landing gear. With abnormal vibrations, a mechanical defect or condition is to blame. If this is not corrected, further damage and even catastrophic failure may occur. What are the causes of aircraft vibrations? The causes of aircraft vibrations include: engine [...]
How Capacitive Measurement Can Help Reduce Packaging Waste
Product packaging is often made of lightweight polymeric foams or plastic sheets and films. These materials are relatively inexpensive, but manufacturers still want to minimize waste and maximize yields. Across high volumes of low-cost materials, even a small per-unit savings can become significant, especially as the price of petroleum – a key ingredient in many polymers – continues to rise. For companies with environmental sustainability efforts, there are other important considerations as well. The excessive use of packaging materials can contribute to environmental pollution, especially with polymers that are slow to degrade. Yet, materials such as plastic sheets and [...]
Non-Contact Displacement Sensors for Detection and Measurement
Non-contact sensors detect or measure a physical property without making direct contact with the target, the object that is being monitored or measured. They are used to measure physical properties such as thickness, proximity, displacement, or distance. To obtain readings, non-contact displacement sensors emit a form of energy and may use capacitance, fiber optic, or laser triangulation technologies. By contrast, contact sensors must touch the target and often rely upon mechanical movement. Non-Contact Sensors vs. Contact Sensors Non-contact sensors are faster, especially for applications with high sampling rates, and won’t dampen the motion of a target. They can also [...]

Advantages of Measuring Semiconductor Thin Film Thickness with Capacitance
Semiconductor Thin Films: Measuring Thickness with Capacitance In the semiconductor industry, thin films are deposited onto silicon and other wafer materials one atomic layer at a time. The thickness of these extremely thin coatings is important because thin-film thickness affects the wafer’s electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. With semiconductors, either conductive metallic films or non-conductive metal oxide films are deposited. There are two main thin-film coating methods, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD), both of which use a variety of processes. Because the coatings for semiconductor wafers are so thin, thickness measurement require a high degree [...]
How Often Should Vibration Analysis Be Performed?
How Often Should Vibration Analysis Be Performed? Once a customer takes delivery of a PBS system and learns how to use it, the next logical question is: “How often should we use it?” At a minimum, your approved maintenance program (whether it’s a program developed by your operation, or the maintenance procedures outlined by the engine/airframe manufacturer) will tell you about the intervals at which to perform a vibration analysis. Usually, there is a procedure to specify how an engine vibration analysis and balance need be only completed when squawked by a pilot or after the completion of maintenance work [...]

Contact vs. Non-Contact Measurement and Linear Displacement Sensors
Contact vs. Non-Contact Measurement and Linear Displacement Sensors Linear displacement sensors are used to measure the distance between two points or two plane surfaces. They use various technologies, but there are two basic types: contact and non-contact. As their names suggest, contact sensors make physical contact with the object that is being measured and non-contact sensors do not. This is an obvious but important difference, but there is much more to consider. Non-contact measurement is faster than contact measurement, especially for applications with high sampling rates. Because contact-type devices must touch and then traverse the object, measurement is slower. [...]
