Bulk

BLS-I/BCT-400: Bulk Silicon Characterization

Simple and accurate contactless measurement of true bulk silicon lifetime and resistivity on CZ or multicrystalline silicon bricks and ingots. Measure the true lifetime of bulk material prior to sawing with no surface preparation required.

Wafer

WCT-120/WCT-120MX: The Standard R&D Wafer-Lifetime Tool

The standard R&D tool for process optimization with the best available measurement accuracy. Measure initial material quality, surface passivation, and dopant diffusion. MX version that is capable of measuring samples up to 230 mm is also available.

WCT-120TS: Temperature Dependent Lifetime Measurement

Wafer lifetime measurement instrument offering calibrated analysis of temperature-dependent carrier-recombination lifetime over a temperature range of 25-200°C. Same great R&D level analysis as the WCT-120 with the added ability to analyze the temperature dependence of the key characteristics of the sample including defects.

WCT-120PL: Wafer Lifetime Measurement with Photoluminescence Detector

Measure the calibrated carrier-recombination lifetime of a silicon wafer using both the standard method (QSSPC) and the photoluminescence (QSSPL) method.

IL-800: Inline Wafer Testing

Advanced R&D level wafer analysis for high throughput inline production environments. Pre-process elimination of low-quality wafers using measured lifetime, trapping, and resistivity as well as process control and optimization at dopant diffusion and nitride deposition steps.
