profilometer - Tools for optical profilometers and film thickness measurements

Load, display and convert SDF files from ADE profilometers. Supports extraction of film height using histogram analysis.

Load / Save Functions

load_sdf(filename) Loads an SDF file.
save_xyz(filename, x, y, z) Save height profile as simple XYZ ascii file.
convert(filename) Convert files from sdf to xyz format.

Data Manipulation Functions

tilt_correction(z[, type]) Correct tilt by subtracting a plane from the 2d height profile.

Measurement Functions

get_film_thickness(z[, plotHist, dz]) Extract film thickness from height profile using histogram analysis and two Gaussians.

Plotting Functions

plot_profile(x, y, z[, filename]) Create a 3d surface plot.
