Filmetrics was founded in 1995 with the mission of making thin-film measurements simple and affordable. Prior to our arrival, film-thickness measurement instruments cost $50,000 or more and required advanced training. Single measurements took as long as an hour.
The Filmetrics approach, borne of the microelectronics and software revolution, results in film-thickness measurements that take less than a second - by operators who can be trained in minutes.
products: Thickness Measurement Products
  • Single-Spot Measurements: Tabletop systems for measuring film thickness and refractive index with a single mouse-click. Measure thicknesses from 1nm to 13mm - even within multilayer film stacks
  • Automated Mapping Systems: Fully-automatic mapping of thickness and index for nearly any sample shape. Manual-load and robotic-load systems are available
  • Inline Monitoring: Monitor and control thickness of moving films during production. Sample rates as high as 100 Hz are possible at multiple measurement locations.
  • Accessories: Filmetrics offers a variety of accessories to meet your film-thickness measurement needs
