kSA BandiT

Monitor absolute wafer and thin-film temperature in real-time during thin-film deposition and thermal processing…

The kSA BandiT uses a patented blackbody emission monitor to measure the full range of temperatures for most semiconductor substrate materials, including low band-gap substrates and metal films. This powerful instrument includes a solid-state spectrometer that adds the flexibility to measure film thickness and surface roughness.
