The Effect of Gaussian Filter Long Wavelength Cutoff in Topography Comparisons and Measurements

Abstract
Five parameters are used for 2D and 3D topography comparisons and measurements, those include two correlation parameters Ds and CCFmax , and three surface parameters: the r-m-s roughness Rq (or Sq for 3D), r-m-s waviness Wq and Gaussian filter long wavelength cutoff. Their functional relationship is theoretically and experimentally investigated. It is suggested to use a ratio between Rq (or Sq) and Wq for the optimum selection of the cutoff, by which the roughness topography can be unambiguously extracted from the waviness and form deviations for topography comparisons and measurements.
