kSA 400 - Calculate Growth Rate In Real-Time
kSA 400 software previously featured three independent methods for calculating growth rate post acquisition. Now kSA 400 can also calculate real-time growth rate using Damped Sine Fit.
This real-time growth rate can then be sent as an output for process control. For more information about kSA 400 real-time growth rate please contact us. |

k-Space Distributor Sells First kSA MOS Ultra-Scan
Our Japanese distributor—Vieetech Japan Co., Ltd.—has sold the first kSA MOS Ultra-Scan. The Ultra-Scan can be used to map the curvature of semiconductor wafers, optical mirrors, lenses, or practically any polished surface. The standard system provides up to 150mm x,y scanning range with 1μm resolution. Scans are fully programmable for selected area, line scan, or full area map. The system also provides quantitative film stress with full area map by first scanning the bare substrate and then re-scanning the sample post-process.
You can learn more about the kSA MOS Ultra-Scan on our website or by downloading our brochures. Or please contact us to learn more. |

Introducing kSA Mini RateRat
Proving that good things can come in small packages, k-Space has developed a mini version of our popular kSA RateRat deposition monitor. The kSA Mini RateRat can be held in the palm of your hand and performs real-time deposition rate and optical constant monitoring just like its bigger brother.
It's designed for normal incidence applications, including mounting onto the mini-conflat or similar optical access ports found on many MOCVD reactors. Within the unit is a focusing lens for handling variation in reflection angle due to substrate wobble.
