EddyCus® map 2530 SR – Non-contact Sheet Resistance Imaging Device

The EddyCus® map 2530 SR is a non-contact sheet resistance mapping system. The tool is equipped with a stationary Eddy Current sensor that measures the sheet resistance on up to 90,000 (300 x 300) measurements points per scan. The measurement stage holding the sample moves left and right with the stationary sensor taking measurements generating an image. Since this technology does not establish a physical contact with the specimen, the tool takes measurements on the fly. Additionally, it excels with high accuracies as it is independent of any contact quality. The quantity of measurement points taken across the sample enables the detection of multiple effects and defects. The measurement software comes with numerous options for advanced analysis of the measurement data. Furthermore, the comprehensive analysis features support a systematic quality assurance of various thin-films in manufacturing and R&D laboratories.

EddyCus® map 2530 RM – 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® map 2530 RM 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]. 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® map 2530 A – Non-Contact Electrical Anisotropy and Sheet Resistance Imaging Device

The EddyCus® map 2530 A (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
