Push-Pull Capacitance Sensor Measures Un-grounded Targets

How to measure the thickness and warp of 156 mm² photovoltaic (PV) wafers with the accuracy of <1um, as they pass at the rate of one wafer per second ?

Today’s semiconductor and solar industries drive the demand for thinner wafers to conserve silicon and fulfill new IC applications. To meet this demand, wafer fabricators seek greater dimensional control of their silicon products. With that said, semiconductor wafers used to make integrated circuits (ICs) and silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells are fragile and expensive. The...

Are angstrom level measurements possible?

How can the measurement of a very small oscillatory motions (nanometers) produced by a piezo electric device can be made possible?

Piezo electric crystals expand and contract when voltage is applied across the stack. Controlling the amplitude of the applied signal, enabled us to control the magnitude of the displacement. And by using a combination of instruments including: a spectrum analyzer in the frequency domain in conjunction as well as MTI's high resolution Fotonic probe, we were able to resol...
