Novel nondestructive method based on low coherence optical interferometry for measurement of deep etched trenches in MEMs structures is presented. The proposed technique proves to provide very reproducible results and can be easily extended to metrology of other materials such as metals and dielectrics. We present results in real life semiconductor structures and discuss practical and fundamental limits of this technique
