What it is

The Perkin Elmer Spotlight 200 IR Microscopy is a system manufactured by Perkin Elmer.[1][2]

The unit falls under the Metrology and Inspection equipment category.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An FTIR microscope directs infrared radiation through or onto a sample and measures the absorption spectrum to identify chemical bonds.

The instrument can operate in transmission, reflectance, and attenuated total reflectance modes to accommodate different sample types.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The system serves as a tool for failure analysis, contamination identification, and material characterization after wafer processing.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Infrared microscopy is applied to identify organic contaminants, polymer layers, and other chemical residues on semiconductor surfaces.

The technique is also used in pharmaceutical analysis, forensics, and materials science for chemical imaging of heterogeneous samples.
