The EddyCus® TF map 2530 Series automatically measures the sheet resistance of large samples up to 300 x 300 mm² (12 x 12 inches) in non-contact mode. Upon manual sample positioning the device automatically measures and displays an accurate mapping of the sheet resistance across the entire sample area. The measurement settings allow easily and flexibly to choose between fast measurement times of below 1 minute or high spatial measurement resolution of more than 100,000 measurement points.
The device platform is available in different sensor configurations including eddy current sensors for electrical characterization or sensors for optical characterization. Variants of the measurement configurations involve the following options.
Combinations of the above variants are available as well (e.g. 2530SR-MT).
The EddyCus® TF map 2530SR is a non-contact sheet resistance mapping system. The device is equipped with a travelling Eddy Current sensor that measures the sheet resistance on up to 90,000 (300 x 300) measurements points per scan. Since this technology does not require a physical contact to the specimen, the device takes measurements on the fly. Additionally, it excels with high accuracies as it is independent of any contact quality. The high density of measurement points across the sample ensures that no effects or defects are missed. Furthermore, the comprehensive analysis features support a systematic quality assurance of various thin-films in manufacturing and R&D laboratories.

The EddyCus® TF map 2530MT is a non-contact thickness imaging system that operates independent from any optical properties. The device utilizes a non-contact eddy current sensor to determine the thickness of any material with known conductivity or characteristic conductivity profile such as metals or alloys. This non-contact testing technology enables a precise measurement in a wide thickness range starting at a few nanometer thickness reaching up to millimeter range. Additionally, it can also be applied to films that are encapsulated by non-conductive materials. The measurement method is very robust and excels with a high repeatability and high accuracy. Its independency from the optical characteristics is beneficial for various industries that deposit non-transparent metal film. This compact benchtop system is used for a wide range of application for quick tests or systematic quality assurance in manufacturing R&D and testing laboratories.

A variety of materials characteristics determine the conductivity of materials. Next to its composition also its structure and its purity affect the conductivity. The EddyCus® TF map 2530RM is an eddy current mapping system dedicated to high-resolution imaging of conductivity and correlated characteristics exposing material properties, effects and defects. The system can be equipped with various EddyCus sensors for conductivity imaging in high resolution or high penetration and defect detection by use of differential probes. The system supports the creation of images (Eddy Current C-Scans) of the surface with a measurement pitch of 100 µm to 10 mm. The three axis systems is capable to scan 2D and 2.5D areas with a size of up to 300 x 300 mm / 12 x 12 inch. Typical applications cover the surface characterization of conductive materials such as SiC-, Graphite-, metal, alloy or steel plates or other conductive semi-finished products. Additionally, the system can be used for testing the electrical integrity of printed electronics and layers.
Eddy current testing allows the quantification of material conductivity [IACS or MS/m] or resistivity [Ohm m or Ohm / mm² / m]. The conductivity of materials provides information on material characteristics such as type of material and homogeneity of the material composition. Next to the direct information on electrical properties, the conductivity also contains information that relate to its thermic properties or its mechanical properties and its structural integrity.

The EddyCus® TF map 2530A (Anisotropy) is a unique anisotropy imaging system providing spatially resolved anisotropy images for profound understanding of the dominant orientation in wire structures. It utilized eddy current sensors that induce currents into defined directions. The resulting image shows the dominating wire direction, the anisotropy strength and the resulting sheet resistance. This unique tool is valuable for the characterization of wire structures such as Silver Nano Wires (Ag-NW), CNT, metal grids or nano-rod structures. Intentional anisotropic nanowires provide a better sheet resistance to optical transparency performance compared to isotropic nano-wire electrodes with opposite contact structure. This non-destructive testing method saves time and ensures that the wire deposition process provides the required orientation and resistance. This tool can be applied for quick quality checks or systematic quality assurance.
