BandiT Calibration Files Now Available on the Web
(3-9-05)

The kSA BandiT system relies on calibration files to compensate for substrates of different material composition, thickness, polish, dopant level, and manufacturer.  kSA BandiT users can now ensure that they have the most up-to-date calibration files by downloading them from the BandiT Calibration Page on our website. This webpage is password protected, if you are a BandiT user please contact us for a username and password to access these files.





k-Space Distributor Sells First kSA MOS Ultra-Scan
(2-22-05)

Our Japanese distributor Vieetech Japan Co., Ltd. has sold the first kSA MOS Ultra-Scan in Japan. 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 1um 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. Contact us for more information.

Introducing kSA Mini RateRat
(1-14-05)

Proving that good things come in smaller packages, k-Space has developed a mini version of our popular kSA RateRat deposition monitor. 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. 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. Contact us for more information.
