The Scanning Kelvin Probe from KP Technologies - Operation and Capabilities

Prof. Iain D. Baikie from KP Technology introduces us to the Scanning Kelvin Probe which measures the work function difference between a vibrating tip and the sample. It is suited to the analysis of such things as metals, electronic devices, patterned wafers, solar cells etc and can carry out similar functions to an AFM.

Thw Scanning Kelvin Probe can be used for corrosion studies, polymer films enc electronics and other materials analysis. It is able to detect films as thin as a molecule thick and can create detailed 3-D maps of a sample surface.

It is a simle technique to use and takes very rapid measurements.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
