-^ Practical interferometers • Alignment procedure • Summary
Applications of interferometer • Typical Parts Measured – Optics (flats, spheres, torics, aspheres, prisms, substrates, windows)– Semiconductor Products (wafers, MEMS, packaging material)– Data Storage (hard disk read heads, disks, suspensions)– MEMS (pressure sensors, accelerometers, micro-mirrors)– Cutting and Grinding Implements (drill bits, razors, sandpaper)– Food and Drug Products (cereal, chocolate, pills)– Medical Implants (stents, hip implants, bio-MEMS)– Precision Machine Parts (air bearings, engine blocks, fuel injectors,airplane wings)– Coatings (AR, drug coatings, anti-corrosion coatings) • Typical Measurement Results – Flatness/Shape– Critical Dimensions– Roughness– Depths and Volumes– Film thickness– Dynamic Response
