EddyCus® TF map 5050 Series – Contactless Sheet Resistance, Metal Layer Thickness, Resistivity and Anisotropy Imaging Device
The EddyCus® TF map 5050 Series is a high-resolution non-contact imaging device series for sampling areas up to 500 x 500 mm (20 x 20 inch). The bench-top device automatically measures at various measurements points, typically with a pitch in X and Y of 1 mm (40 mil) generating accurate mappings. The system acquires hundreds of measurements per second on the fly resulting in high resolution images containing up to 250,000 measurement points per sample. The bench-top devices allow depending of its setup the precise imaging of metal thickness, sheet resistance or electrical anisotropy. The resulting property images provide a deep insight to layer homogeneity and defect density and hence offer a profound basis for material and process optimization. Applications involve quality assurance for sputtering, evaporation, ALD, CVD, electroplating or doping and annealing processes.

EddyCus® TF map 5050MT – Non-contact Metal Thickness Imaging Device
The EddyCus® TF map 5050MT is a high-resolution metal thickness imaging device. The device uses an eddy current sensor for precise non-contact thickness measurement. This electromagnetic measurement method is a contactless method that is able to measure through non-conductive covering layers as well. The measurements for the high resolution thickness images are aggregated on the fly by automatically collecting hundreds of measurement at up to 250,000 positions across the sample. This measurement is independent from optical properties therefore it can also be well applied for thick non-transparent metal films. The measurement range is starting at a few nanometer reaching upto to a few millimeter. The eddy current thickness measurement method is very fast and robust. It provides a very high repeatability and high accuracy. This advanced thickness meter is dedicated to quick thickness imaging or systematic quality assurance.

EddyCus® TF map 5050RM – Conductivity Mapping and Defect Identification in Thin Films
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 5050RM 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 500 x 500 mm / 20 x 20 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.

EddyCus® TF map 5050A – Non-Contact Electrical Anisotropy and Sheet Resistance Imaging Device
The EddyCus® TF map 5050A (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.
Terms and concept
- “Sheet resistance anisotropy” refers to a difference in electrical resistivity measured parallel and perpendicular (traverse) to the machine direction
- Many wire and mesh structures can have an anisotropic sheet resistance
Electrical anisotropy…
- …can be optimized according to the layout of the contact pattern
- …can save material and improve optical transparency to sheet resistance ratio
