ATF5 AUTO FOCUS & TRACKING SENSOR
Click to Enlarge

The WDI Laser Auto-Focus ATF5 sensor is an active optical device (incorporating a semiconductor laser) designed to provide focusing servo systems with fast feedback signals needed to quickly and accurately focus all types of infinity corrected microscopes.

The ATF5 projects a multitude of laser dots. Each reference dot is a source of a distance to focus measurement. This redundancy of information improves the sensor accuracy and facilitates reliable operation on patterned media such as TFT arrays or photo-masks.

For setup and configuration changes, the sensor communicates with the master system controller (computer) over a serial communication link.
 
Typical ATF5 Applications
ATF5 Special Features
  • The Sensor operates on almost all types of surfaces:
  • Reflective and low reflectivity surfaces (down to 1%)
  • Transparent and opaque
  • Plain, patterned and textured
  • Optional functions:
  • Critical dimension measurement
  • AOI (automated optical inspection)
  • Covers microscope objectives ranges from 2x to 100x
  • Focus with programmable offset function
