WMT, WLT

Fast non-contact thickness, TTV and resistivity characterization.

Thickness and resistivity are primary quality control parameters for silicon wafers in PV applications.

The WLT models, WLT-1, -3 & -5 In-Line Thickness and Resistivity Testers allow measurement of thickness at 1 to 5 points and resistivity at 1 point with the high throughput that meets the requirements of in-line quality control in fully automated wafer production lines.

The WMT models, WMT-1 & -3, Thickness and Resistivity Testers allow measurement of wafers "on the fly", i.e., conveyor belt does not stop during measurement. Therefore, they have the high throughput that meets the requirements of in-line quality control in fully automated wafer production lines.
