System Check Unsuccessful
If the System Check is not successful (that is, the error bars on the determined
parameters exceed the acceptance limits), a message box describing the error
will be displayed.

In most circumstances, the error bars on the Ps (polarizer), Cs (compensator),
and As (analyzer) azimuthal calibration parameters all should be less than ±0.01°.
If the system check is not successful, check the following:
 The system is aligned and the light intensity is adequate.
 If the intensity is greater than 40, try reducing the intensity by half and
 Read Chapter 11 Performance Checks and/or Chapter 12 Troubleshooting

The SiO2 thickness varies significantly from wafer to wafer (20-
30nm). 25nm is the nominal thickness. Your wafer may have SiO2
thicker or thinner than 25nm.
