Thickness Analysis of a Natural Oxide Film on a Microscopic Si Pattern

Author(s)JASCO

The MSV-5000 series micro-spectrophotometer is designed to obtain transmission/reflection measurements over a wide wavelength range from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared wavelengths. It allows the measurement of an area as small as 10 µm diameter and the integrated high-resolution CCD video camera enables visual observation of the samples to determine the precise area to be measured. This instrument is suitable for measurement of micro samples or samples with microstructural features.

Vanishing Spectrometers: How Near-Infrared Instrumentation Got Small, Smart, and Everywhere
The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.

Sizing Up the Nanoscale: Measuring Nanocluster Aerosol in Indoor Air
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
