    摘要: An apparatus determines a layer thickness of a plurality of layers arranged on a body. The apparatus includes a THz transmitter configured to emit a THz signal to said plurality of layers and a THz receiver configured to receive a reflected portion of said THz signal that has been reflected by at least one layer of said plurality of layers. The apparatus is configured to determine the layer thickness of at least one of said plurality of layers based on said reflected portion of said THz signal. The apparatus further includes a distance measuring device for determining at least one parameter characterizing a distance between said apparatus and said body, wherein said distance measuring device may include at least one optical triangulation sensor.

    摘要: A measuring device for detection pf measurement signals during a penetrating movement of a penetrating member into a surface of a test object or during a sensing movement of the penetrating member on the surface of the test object. The measuring device includes a housing which accommodates a force generating device and on which a holding element is arranged remote from the force generating device, which holding element is movable relative to the housing at least in one direction along a longitudinal axis of the housing and which accommodates the penetrating member. The measuring device also includes at least one first measuring element for measuring the penetration depth of the penetrating member into the surface of the test object or a traversing movement of the penetrating member along the longitudinal axis relative to the housing during a sensing movement on the surface of the test object, wherein a transmission element is provided which extends between the force generating device and the penetrating member.

    摘要: A vacuum chuck for clamping workpieces, in particular wafers, and a measuring device and a method for checking workpieces by way of X-ray fluorescent radiation. The vacuum chuck has a clamping plate having a support surface, having at least one suction connection arranged on a base body for connecting to a negative-pressure device and for clamping the workpiece on the clamping plate by negative pressure received by the base body and having several suction grooves arranged in the clamping plate and are open towards the support surface. The support surface has concentric suction grooves having a suction opening to which a negative-pressure line is connected or which is connected to a work channel. Each suction groove having a separate negative pressure, which is separate to the adjacent suction groove, is selectively controlled by a control valve by a control for supplying the respective negative pressure in the respective suction groove.
