Low cost table top lifetime measure­­ment system for characterisation of a variety of different silicon samples at different preparation stages. Without built-in automatisation, optional hand operated z-axis for thicker samples. Standard software for result visualisation. As an OEM version, the tool is as well suited for inline linescan applications.

MDP spot - table top single spot or inline linescan measurements

Measurement of minority carrier lifetime and resistivity linescans at µ-PCD or steady state excitation conditions are in the focus of this small tool.

Table top unit for single point measurements of poly- or monocrystalline silicon wafers up to final devices of different preparation stages. Small size, low price and easy to use. Comes with a basic software for result visualisation.
