The Digital Instruments Nanoscan III AFM performs high resolution imaging of nanostructured devices by mapping the interaction of a sharp probe scanned across surface features at near atomic resolution.


Three dimensional sculpting of nano-structured surfaces via the removal of material using the direct interaction of a computer controlled Ga ion beam with solid surfaces. Learn more here.


The Karl Suss MA6 with video backside alignment is currently configured for 4 in wafer and 5 in mask.
