Abstract

See full text

Provided herein is a device for measuring a thickness of a dielectric layer on a base substrate. The device is provided with a cylindrical resonant cavity having a circular cylindrical wall and a plane wall on one end thereof, wherein the opposite end is open to be placed upon the dielectric layer on the substrate to form a wall of the resonant cavity on the opposite end; an antenna located within the resonant cavity and adapted to excite an electromagnetic field in the resonant cavity that is approximately zero in the dielectric layer; a reflection meter connected to the antenna and adapted to measure the resonant frequency of the resonant cavity; and a processor connected to the reflection meter. Also provided herein is a method for measuring a thickness of a dielectric layer on a base substrate having a curved surface.
