Description
- Lab-to-Fab services (fundamental tests, feasibility studies, development of materials and technologies and scale up).
- Lab Metrology for material analysis with Time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) Hard and soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES/ XPS), EFTEM/EELS, EDX and TXRF allows the determination which element is in the sample and even the kind of bonding is obtainable.
- With X-ray Diffraction (XRD), TKD/EBSD, HR-TEM, Raman Spectroscopy and AFM it is more the Morphology and crystalline phase accessible.
- For Thickness measurement a range of analysis options are available from SEM/TEM, X-ray reclectometry (XRR) and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry to calculative methods like angle resolved XPS (ARXPS) and Rs-Mapping (sheet resistance).

Case Study
Fraunhofer offers research and development to partners do not have their own manufacturing possibilities. Therefore small companies which are capable to fill structures in the 28nm technology node and below are not necessarily able to measure small voids in the nm range. So they are dependent on the customer, but if some preliminary results are necessary for R&D our infrastructure can support them.
