The Only Profiler You Need

You no longer have to select a profiler based on the type of surface you want to measure.

The Nexview™ NX2 profiler measures topography of virtually any surface from a super

polished optical surface with sub-Angstrom surface roughness, to steep machined angles up

to 85 degrees. It does all this in 3D, without contact, and provides the best qualities of other

profiling technologies (stylus, confocal, focus scanning) without their shortcomings.

Additional application modules for specific needs, such as measurement in the presence of 

transparent films, and 2D vision analysis, are available for customers that require these capabilities.

Automated Operation

The Nexview™ NX2 profiler is a fly-by-wire tool with no manual controls, so it can be fully

automated with programmed sequences to measure multiple areas of a surface, multiple parts

in a tray, or larger surfaces by stitching together multiple measurements into a single measurement.

Clean, Streamlined, Design

The Nexview NX2 profiler features a large work area with clear lines of sight to help make

measurement setups and changeovers simple and quick.

Its automated 200 mm integrated measurement stage is the epitome of clean and efficient

industrial design. It features an embedded ±4 degree high load tilt stage with parcentric correction

– which makes aligning the measurement surface simple, even for featureless samples.

Nexview™ NX2 3D Optical Profiler

Designed for the most demanding applications, the Nexview™ NX2 3D optical profiler

combines exceptional precision, advanced algorithms, application flexibility,

and automation into a single package that represents ZYGO’s most advanced

Coherence Scanning Interferometric (CSI) profiler.

The completely non-contact technology optimizes the return on investment by delivering

sub-nanometer precision at all magnifications and measuring a wider range of surfaces

faster and more precisely than other comparable technologies commercially available.

With applications as varied as flatness, roughness and waviness, thin films, step heights

and more on virtually any surface and material, Nexview NX2 truly is the no-compromise

profiler.

As the latest generation flagship, Nexview™ NX2 provides a wide range of differentiated

features targeted at making users’ metrology better, faster, and more reliable:

• Large-area 1.9 MP sensor with high sensitivity lets you see more in a single measurement

• High-speed measurements take only seconds for improved productivity and process control

• Automated part focus and setup minimizes operator variability and training while reducing

the time to data

• Gage capable performance through exceptional precision and repeatability for the most

demanding production applications.

• Vibration robust metrology with SureScan technology and built in isolation enables high

quality metrology even in vibration-prone environments

• SmartPSI™ technology for ultra-fast profiling of ultra-smooth surfaces

• 2D and 3D correlation provides confidence in your measurements with results that comply

to ISO 25178 and ISO 4287 standards.

• Mx™ software for instrument control, analysis, and measurement automation

• True Color imaging for enhanced visualization

• Variable image zoom with three included zoom lenses lets users optimize the field of view

and maximize instrument flexibility

Nexview™ NX2 profi ler product highlights

An all-new advanced non-contact 3D imaging and metrology

tool—with high fi delity surface mapping and visualization—

for surface applications demanding precise quantitative,

topographic, volumetric, and texture characterization.

Superior measurement visualization, capabilities, and performance

Nexview™ NX2 profi ler represents a signifi cant advantage over

other metrology methods. A fully automated optical head makes

confi guration of advanced metrology applications easy, robust

and repeatable. Interactive user-confi gurable data plots reveal

surface characteristics through traditional 2D and 3D plots,

as well as more advanced slope analysis, PSD, and true color imaging.

Whether for measurement precision, speed, robust performance,

or visualization, the Nexview NX2 profi ler is the ideal choice.

Mx software is ZYGO’s platform for instrument control and data analysis.

Using a simple workfl ow based concept, users easily navigate the metrology

experience from setup through analysis and reporting.

Interactive and detailed plots show full 2D or 3D data; profi le slices,

material ratio, slope analysis, and PSD views. With built-in SPC,

pass/fail indication, data reporting and run charts, production quality

analysis is simple.
