Infra-red Fourier vacuum spectrometer for solar cell and thin film research
EF 2011-12
Résumé
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is a powerful measurement technique that is widely used in many research fields. The requested instrument is optimized for solar cell and thin film research. This requires a vacuum spectrometer to permit grazing incidence investigation of shallow dopants in the silicon solar cells as well as the spectroscopy of nm thick deposited ALD films, and the study on the surface residues on the surface of films post CMP. All optics are gold coated for highest optical throughput. The standard spectral range covers 8,000 to 350 cm-1. Range extension packages are available to extend the measurement region from the very far- to the near-IR as well as the visible and ultraviolet regions (28,000-10 cm-1). Standard resolution is 0.4 cm-1 with an option for 0.16 cm-1
