NanoFab Tool: Four Dimensions 280DI Sheet Resistance Mapping System
Four Dimensions 280DI Sheet Resistance Mapping System
The Four Dimensions 280DI sheet resistance mapping system uses the 4-point probe technique to measure the sheet resistance of substrates and films. The automated stage is capable of mapping up to 5,000 points per wafer and can handle substrates ranging from 200 mm down to small pieces. The wide resistance range and the choice of probe tips enable the mapping of a large variety of materials.
