Hello,
You have'nt mentioned whether the wafer below the resist, is plain
silicon or is there another layer of transperent film below ( like SiO2
Si3N4, ..), if there is no transperant film below the resist, then
Ellipsometry would give a fairly accurate estimate ( of the order of
1 micron) of thickness.
we use a Rudolf series-I ellipsometer and effectively measure resist
thickness of that order. ( the refractive index of the particular resist
are specified by the manafacturer ( Merk, Olin Hunt, JT Baker) and are
well classified even according to postbake temp. / prebake temp/exposing
wavelength.
If you have any other layer below then it would be better to hardbake the
resist and then use a
DecTak Mark III profilometer, this though is a destructive testing it
would work the best for two-three scans.
