Technical Information "Evaluation of Band Gap for Oxide and Nitride Thin Films (C0462)" and one other item published.

High-precision band gap evaluation is possible through combined analysis of XAFS and XPS.

The band gap of thin film samples has been measured using analytical methods such as UV-Vis, PL, and XPS, but the cases that could be evaluated were limited due to constraints related to the sample structure, such as materials, film thickness, and substrates. This time, through the combined analysis of XAFS and XPS, it has become possible to reduce the constraints of the sample structure and achieve a higher precision band gap evaluation than before. This method is particularly effective for the evaluation of various oxide and nitride films. This document presents a case study on the band gap evaluation of silicon nitride (SiN) films. Measurement methods: XAFS, XPS. Product fields: solar cells, lighting, oxide semiconductors, power devices. Analysis purpose: evaluation of electronic states.

You can evaluate the causes and total amount of organic contamination in the manufacturing process.

It is known that the adsorption of organic substances on the wafer surface can lead to various issues, such as the degradation of gate oxide film breakdown voltage. Therefore, as the miniaturization and high integration of semiconductor devices progress, it has become increasingly important to monitor not only inorganic substances but also trace amounts of organic substances. Here, we present a case where silicon wafers were stored in two types of wafer cases, and the organic contamination components adhered to the entire wafer surface were concentrated using a wafer analyzer and evaluated using GC/MS.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

When it rains, problems at construction sites such as muddy access roads, rough ground conditions, and reduced mobility of heavy machinery and vehicles increase significantly. One solution that can be utilized even in rainy conditions is the wooden lightweight mat "Hyper CLT Mat," made from CLT (Cross Laminated Timber). By laying it down on temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas, it reduces the area where vehicles run directly on the ground, serving as a countermeasure against mud and muck. The 5×10 panel weighs about 230 kg, making it relatively light and easy to install, remove, or relocate in accordance with the progress of construction. Furthermore, it can be proposed for use in public works as a new technology registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." The wooden lightweight mat, combining wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, is an option that supports the footing of sites where conditions can change easily due to weather.

● What is a packaging container air leak test device? It is a leak testing device that identifies the peeling, tearing, and presence of pinholes in packaging containers for pharmaceuticals and other products, conducting a Container Closure Integrity Test (CCIT). It can be applied to a wide variety of packaging containers, including flexible packaging, bottle containers, and glass containers, primarily in pharmaceutical packaging. The measurement method employs the <sealed chamber method (pressure change leak testing method 1)>. A sample is placed in the chamber, and by applying pressure or vacuum and measuring the pressure change within the chamber, quantitative inspection is performed. It can be used in various scenarios, including offline manufacturing, inline manufacturing, CMC laboratories, quality control laboratories, and stability testing. * The containers subject to inspection are referred to as "work" or "samples." Here, specific samples are referred to as "samples" to differentiate the terminology.
