XE-HDD
XE-HDD was designed for the sole purpose of Hard Disk media processing and analysis. It excels in obtaining superior images of Hard Disk Drive samples. The high performance Z scanner, a flexure guided scan system which is completely decoupled from the XY scanner, is mounted on the XE-HDD head (Super-luminescence diode (SLD) AFM scanning head) with a built-in precision linear encoder, making it possible for the tip to maintain constant feedback conditions (force or distance) as it is moved over a sample surface. In addition, with its superb closed-loop feedback of the Z-servo, XE-HDD can trace steep walls of the trench edges without hitting or sticking to the sample. XE-HDD's XY scanner also excels in performance with virtually no out of plane motion, while its competitors suffer from the presence of severe background curvatures. The high precision motorized XY stage with a built-in linear encoder on each axis, make precision control and monitoring of XY sample stage movement possible with excellent repeatability. Together with the XE-Series' own acoustic enclosure, the advanced active vibration isolation system of the XE-HDD provides ultimate performance by isolating the AFM environment from harsh fab conditions. Park System's mission is to provide our Hard Drive Disk industry's customers with advanced AFM products and solutions that extend the critical innovations of the XE-Series to the industrial Hard Drive Disk metrology.

XE-PTR
XE-PTR Lab/Inline was designed with a focused purpose in mind; absolute PTR metrological analysis. XE-PTR Lab provides a complete AFM system for PTR analyses routinely performed in analysis laboratories, while XE-PTR Inline provides a complete AFM system for automated inline PTR measurements and analyses, consisting of pattern recognition capabilities, off-axis optics for pattern recognition, pattern recognizable row bar fixtures, automated PTR measurements and analyses specified by customers' recipes, etc. With XE-series' exclusive ability to perform True Non-Contact AFM, XE-PTR can successfully analyze the nano-scale PTR metrology without corrupting it despite the PTR morphology's varying hardness/softness. The high performance Z scanner, a flexure guided scan system which is completely decoupled from the XY scanner, is mounted on the XE-PTR head (Super-luminescence diode (SLD) AFM scanning head) with a built-in precision linear encoder, making it possible for the tip to maintain constant feedback conditions (force or distance) as it is moved over a sample surface. In addition, with XE-PTR's sub-nanometer resolution and virtually no background curvature in the XY axis, the ever-decreasing PTR scale can be precisely and accurately measured. The high precision motorized XY stage with a built-in linear encoder on each axis makes precision control and monitoring of XY sample stage movement possible with excellent repeatability. All the parts and components of the XE-PTR Inline are class 1 clean room compatible, and together with the XE-Series' own acoustic enclosure, the advanced active vibration isolation system of the XE-PTR provides ultimate performance by isolating the AFM environment from harsh fab conditions. PSIA's mission is to provide our customers with advanced AFM products and solutions that extend the critical innovations of the XE-Series to the laboratorial/industrial PTR metrology.
XE-WAFER

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is emerging as an essential tool in semiconductor metrology. The innovative features and unprecedented metrology performance quickly enabled the XE system to become the AFM of record at many data storage companies. The same attributes are beneficial to semiconductor customers as well. XE-200 and XE-300 are wafer based systems designed both as AFM or AFM/Profiler to address product deficiencies of current AFM and profilers on the market.

XE-3DM

Park Systems has revolutionized the AFM with the introduction of the XE-3DM, the fully automated AFM system designed for overhang profiles, sidewall imaging and critical angle measurements. The unique design of the XE-3DM, made possible by the XE-series’ decoupled XY and Z scanning system, allows for characterization of undercut surfaces as well as sample top surfaces. In using Park Systems’ True Non-Contact mode, the XE-3DM can realize non-destructive imaging of soft photoresist structures at the same scanning speed as any other XE-series platform.

XE-LCD
The XE-LCD is a fully automated in-line metrology system that automatically finds optimal feedback parameters and scanning speeds for large flat panel display substrates up to 1100 x 1300 mm. Designed for use by operator-level fab personnel, the XE-LCD is class 1 clean room compatible, and includes XE Inline System Control with automatic wafer alignment, automatic height profiling, and data acquisition. Our innovative vision system and pattern recognition algorithm enable a fully automatic operation of AFM measurements so that you can focus on critical process issues. XE-LCD can be seamlessly incorporated into any existing or future production line as our professional staffs fully understand and have adopted the industry standards of production work flow and communication protocol therein. The fully automated XE-LCD generates more accurate and better data in a non-destructive manner without the need for sample preparation.
