A profilometer used for 3 dimension measurement of micro-surface topography is presented.The instrument is based on the vertical scanning microscopic interferometry (VSMI).A Linnik type interference microscope is used and the interferograms which present changes of surface profile are recorded with a CCD camera.A developed nano-positioning work stage with an integrated optical grating displacement measuring system realizes the precise vertical scanning motion during profile measurement.By a white-light phase shifting algorithm of arbitrary step,flames of interferograms are processed by a computer to rebuild and evaluate the measured profile.Because of the specialty of VSMI,the profilometer is suitable for both smooth and rough surface measurement.It can also be used to measure curved surfaces,dimension of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS),etc.The vertical resolution of the profilometer is 0.5 nm,and lateral resolution 0.5μm.

By a white-light phase shifting algorithm of arbitrary step, flames of interferograms are processed by a computer to rebuild and evaluate the measured profile.Because of the specialty of VSMI, the profilometer is suitable for both smooth and rough surface measurement.
