In pursuit of further high density, high-speed operation, and low power consumption of semiconductor devices, three-dimensional stacked devices that build circuits vertically by stacking chips are being put into practical use. Each chip is connected vertically by through-silicon vias (TSV: Through Silicon Via).

BGM300 rapidly measures Si thickness and TSV depth before the grinding process to prevent Cu contamination and enable optimal grinding. It also enables measurement of the remaining Si thickness at the Via portion after grinding.
