100x faster wafer mapping

Left: Thickness map of a 4-inch wafer obtained with the new snapshot method—over 60,000 points in 600 seconds. Right: Sparse sampling with commercial ellipsometry—76 points in the same time. The snapshot method reveals detailed thickness variations invisible to conventional scanning.
