Abstract
The use of a Nomarski microscope for the characterization of surface features will be presented. Since a Nomarski microscope measures slope values, the shape of a surface can be followed qualitatively. Besides, a Nomarski microscope can be used to analyze surface roughness in terms of rms value and a distinction between different types of surface roughness is possible. Examples of Nomarski measurements will be shown and discussed.
