2D iSiPDR scanner for surface imaging of electrical parameters of low-resistivity semiconductors and thin films
10 GHz iSiPDR scanner is based on single-post dielectric resonator method and is dedicated to low-resistivity semiconductors and thin films, delivering 2D maps of resistivity and surface resistance, respectively. It provides quantitative and qualitative measures of materials quality and uniformity. Next to its application to electronic materials like semiconductor wafers, it can be applied to conductive composite materials e.g. carbon-based polymer composites such as graphene-based anode materials for lithium-ion battery cells, volumetric composites for EMC applications, etc.
