Abstract

See full text

Techniques and systems for obtaining the thickness map of a partially transparent substrate in a nondestructive optical fashion. The thickness is determined by comparing the amount of absorption by the substrate to a calibrated amount obtained from a substrate standard with a known thickness that is formed of the same material. Digital signal processing operations are performed to reduce noise and to improve resolution of the thickness map.
