Dimension Edge PSS Atomic Force Microscope
Bruker introduced the Dimension Edge PSS Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The Dimension Edge PSS AFM performs automated measurement, data collection, data analysis and report generation on 2- to 6-inch wafers for production metrology applications. It is designed for patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) metrology in high brightness light-emitting diode (HB-LED) manufacturing. The Dimension Edge PSS AFM [...]
Ohmpoint System Magneto Transport Measurement System
The Ohmpoint Measurement System, from Rhomap, is a magneto-transport measurement tool that offers a range of software selectable sample connection probe geometries in one system. The instrument enables engineers to measure resistance in two or four point geometry, sheet resistance and magneto-transport behaviourm (including Hall effect and magnetoresistance). Rhomap is a spin-out from the Durham [...]
