FP Series Contact Profilers

Toho custom profilers offer comprehensive measurement capabilities for mass production and research facilities that demand accuracy, performance and value. Incorporating KLA’s proprietary low-force measurement head, Toho Profilers provide low stylus force and achieve highly accurate micron to nanometer range measurements.

Substrate Accommodation

Toho offers a full range of FP-Series Profilers built to accommodate substrates of all sizes. FP-10 models are ideal for smaller panels.

FP-10

A-Type: Head Stationary / Stage Moves

For smaller scale applications where footprint and budgets are limited, the Toho FP-10 is the right choice for surface analysis. The original KLA design with a moveable stage is utilized. Two lead screws (X and Y) are used for location of a measurement point while the patented Micro Head & stylus is fixed over the stage. Accommodating various materials, shapes and rigidities, the FP-10 offers excellent versatility.

Sample size Up to 400mm x 500mm
Scan repeatability 10Å

FP-20

X-Type: Head Moves / Stage is Stationary

With larger glass panels, noise can be generated with sample handling. The X-type FP series resolves this issue with a moveable Micro Head. The granite measurement stage features an X axis and a gantry suspends the scanner with the Micro Head moving in the Y axis. This structure allows for faster measurements with more reliable data at all points on a large area. FP-20’s are used at all major display fabs worldwide.

Sample size Any substrate larger than 400mm x 500mm
Scan repeatability 15Å

Standard features

Highly Repeatable Step Height Measurements at 10Å

Toho Profilers analyze surface flatness, surface roughness, waviness, peak to valley, curvature, texture, stress, and feature dimensions specifically for large square substrate larger than 300mm.

KLA-Tencor Micro Head

Toho Profilers feature patented KLA-Tencor measurement head core technology in order to provide best in class profilometry.

Stylus Profiling

The standard L-Stylus (2μm, 60°) allows for precision scanning with force ranges from 0.5mg to 15mg providing up to 90mm continuous scan length at 25mm per second.

Repeatability

Excellent and reliable measurement reproduction featuring scan repeatability of 10 Å at center stage.
