kSA MOS ThermalScan

Scan wafers and analyze thermal stress (up to 1000C), curvature, film stress, and bow…

The kSA MOS ThermalScan integrates the original kSA MOS technology into a standalone unit with a heating chamber and two gas introduction lines for wafer thermal stress analysis at temperatures up to 1000°C. This high-resolution scanning instrument maps stress, curvature, and bow of semiconductor wafers, optical mirrors, glass, lenses, and other polished surface.
