Able to measure any single crystal with a diameter between 2 mm to 300 mm, the SDCOM uses the azimuthal scan method to precisely determine the complete lattice orientation of single crystals in just one measuring rotation – taking only a few seconds.
Suitable for both research, production and quality control, the versatile and accessible SDCOM fits easily into a wide range of wafer and ingot process steps while having minimal operational costs due to no requirement for water cooling.
Overview
Quick and precise crystal orientation measurement has never been so accessible – meet the SDCOM, your user-friendly compact XRD. The azimuthal scan method unlocks ultra-fast measurement, with results returned in under ten seconds.
Delivering the highest level of precision of up to 0.01o while supporting a wide variety of accessories, SDCOM is the ideal solution for many applications within wafer processing and research.
Features and Benefits
Fast and precise: azimuthal scan method
The azimuthal scan method requires only one measuring rotation to gather all the necessary data to fully determine the orientation, delivering results within 10 seconds whilst not compromising accuracy.
The sample is rotated 360o, with the X-ray source and detector positioned to achieve a certain number of reflections per turn. These reflections enable the orientation of the crystal lattice to be measured in relation to the rotation axis with a high precision of up to 0.01o.
