Holotomography
Tomocube's cutting-edge Holotomography technology represents the next generation of 3D microscopic imaging, widely adopted across various industrial sectors. This advanced imaging method enables non-destructive, high-resolution analysis not only of surface features but also of internal structures within samples. Holotomography provides precise volumetric data that captures complex internal details without the need for sample preparation or destruction. Such capabilities are especially valuable in analyzing transparent and semi-transparent materials, including glass substrates, hybrid bonding interfaces, and micro displays. As a result, Holotomography serves as a powerful solution for 3D critical-dimension measurement, detailed structural analysis, and comprehensive defect inspection across industrial applications.
Holotomography is a "CT scan with light" — it reconstructs the inside of transparent materials from laser light, without cutting or coating the sample.
Why Holotomography?
Most fabs already own SEM, X-ray CT, or interferometry tools. Holotomography does not replace them — it fills the gap none of them covers: non-destructive, sub-micron 3D imaging of the inside of transparent materials.
- Non-destructiveFull 3D volume of the sample’s interior — the same panel continues down the line
- No prepNo sectioning, polishing, or coating — measured as-is, intact afterwards
- 130–161 nmSub-micron lateral resolution, minutes per field of view
- 10⁻⁴ ΔnQuantitative refractive-index mapping no other tool class provides

Start from your sample, not the spec sheet.
My sample is transparent or semi-transparent — glass substrates, TGV panels, optical films, waveguides, HOEs — and I need to see inside it.
→HT-T1™Transmission
My sample sits on an opaque substrate — silicon wafers, metal layers, PCBs — and I need surface and embedded-layer measurement (RDL, hybrid bonding, CMP).

Applications
Claims are easy; data is convincing. Representative measurement examples show exactly what a holotomography result looks like for each application.
TGV sidewall roughness, quantified in 3D — without cutting the panel
A glass panel with laser-etched vias is imaged as a full 3D volume. Via depth, taper angle, sidewall roughness, and internal microcracks are extracted from a single non-destructive scan — the same panel continues down the line.
Buried waveguide shape and refractive index, mapped in 3D — non-destructively
Photonic circuits hide their critical structures below the surface. Transmission-mode holotomography reconstructs the 3D shape and refractive-index distribution of buried waveguides and laser-written structures, revealing fabrication quality and mode-field accuracy without sectioning the device.
Cu pad recess and bonding-interface roughness, before yield loss happens
Hybrid bonding succeeds or fails on nanometers. Reflection-mode holotomography maps Cu pad recess depth and dielectric surface roughness across the field with 0.1 nm height sensitivity, flagging out-of-spec areas pre-bond.
Pixel-level layer thickness uniformity across a micro display
Thin-film layers and pixel structures in LEDoS/OLEDoS devices are measured non-destructively, layer by layer. Refractive-index and thickness variations reveal coating defects long before electrical or optical test.

Tomocube HT technology
Open up a new horizon
Tomocube was founded in 2015 from KAIST research that pioneered holotomography, and proved the technology in life science labs worldwide. The Precision Division brings that same imaging physics to semiconductor and display manufacturing — where transparent materials like glass substrates are becoming the backbone of advanced packaging, and where conventional metrology must cut samples apart to see inside them.
