Description

The nanomaterial characterisation cluster is a comprehensive set of tool for characterisation at nanoscale various type of samples from thin films to nanoscale devices. It includes:

  • MicroRaman
  • Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
  • UV-VIS-NIR to FAR IR spectrophotometry

Specifications

Sample size
Between ∅1cm to ∅10cm in diameter
Spectroscopic ellipsometry
Covers a large spectral range from UV to NIR (190nm to 2100nm) and have built-in wafer scale mapping capabilities
MicroRaman
