A metrological AFM is designed to establish a traceable standard with nanometer uncertainty. The principle and design of the instrument is introduced in this paper. The displacement of the sample is traced to the SI unit by interferometers. The metrological AFM is applied to step height and line width measurement. The results are compared with optical instrument and profilometer. The metrological AFM is used to step height measurement in an international comparison and the result shows an uncertainty less than </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;" lang="EN-CA">2 nm. The application of metrological AFM in line width and pitch are also introduced.</span>

An experimental investigation of contrast in confocal optical micrographs of semiconductor wafers is presented. Results show a smooth variation of contrast over the edges of deposited layers as the focal plane is varied: correct interpretation of this contrast may enhance the accuracy of edge detection and hence of line-width measurement.
