Covalent Metrology Services Inc.

Nanomechanical characterization

Nanoindentation, nanoscratching, and nanowear tests and mesurements

Located in Silicon Valley. Data for standard measurements guaranteed in 48 hours (2 business day) or we discount your job. Often able to get you your data same day / next day from sample receipt.

Pricing depends on whether we are doing stress, phase ID, composition, etc. We currently use a PanAlytical XPert Pro 2 MRD instrument and our XRD / XRR expert is truly world class. Give us a call to discuss your application!

Measurements:
- Identification and quantification of phases
- Crystal structure and orientation
- Lattice spacing
- Stress
- Film thickness

We are using a variable and spectral ellipsometer from Woolham (VASE) with 300-1700nm range. We do advanced optical modeling and of course can measure thickness and optical properties. This technique is more powerful than many engineers realize and we often find it can provide critical information for a surprising range of application. Our operator is top notch.

Covalent has a Shimadzu SolidSpec 3700 DUV which can samples up to 200mm in diameter. The addition of the DUV option means the high energy, deep UV spectrum is accessible, limited only by the absorption of air. Three detectors ensure high sensitivity across the whole UV-visible-NIR spectrum.

We have both a Zygo ZeGage (white light interferometry) and a Keyance VR3200 (wider area 3D mapping using a distortion analysis technique). Both systems are non-contact, non-destrictive and can provide surprising resolution.
