Abstract

A method for measurement of a surface microprofile with a nanometer resolution is described. The method is based on partial scanning of correlograms in a Linnik white-light interferometer. Experimental results on measurements of thin film thickness are presented. It is shown that a depth resolution of better than 1 nm can be obtained by correlogram scanning in the range from 1 to 2 periods.
