Ultra-high Vacuum Scanning Kelvin Probe (UHVSKP2020)

By KP Technology

Our Ultra-high Vacuum Scanning Kelvin Probe (UHVSKP2020) gives the user full access to work function (Φ) and contact potential difference (CPD) measurements under vacuum with the ability to scan asample area of 20 x 20 mm. Each system comes with the UHV head unit, tip amplifier (located at the mounting port), digital control unit and host PC with dedicat-ed software. The tip can be retracted 100 mm from the sample and approaches normal to the sample. The associated digital electronic unit powers the head unit and provides an interface between the head unit to the data acquisition system. The system comes with a user manual, which includes an introduction to work function measurements and a detailed description of the system software, including some examples. The work function resolution of the UHVSKP2020 is 1-3 meV. The software allows the user digital control of probe amplitude and frequency, mean-spac-ing and tip potential. There is also automatic measurement of the Kelvin probe signal, work function, signal and work function averaging as well as automatic control of tip to sample mean spacing. Other features include variable scan sizes and 3D charting of the work function data. The data generated can be easily exported to Excel-compatible or KP Wize spreadsheets for further processing. APPLICATIONS - Organic and non-organic semiconductors - Metals and metal alloys - Thin films and surface oxides - Solar cells and organic photovoltaics - Corrosion e.g. protection and resistance FEATURES - Work function resolution of 1-3 meV - SPV, SPS and APS options available - Gaseous or ambient measuring - Modular system for upgrades and add-ons - Automatic height regulation SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS Tip material / diameter: 2 mm - 10 mm stainless steel tip Work function resolution: 1 - 3 meV Sample scanning: 20 x 20 mm stepper motor controlled Mounting geometry: Normal to sample surface Tip retraction: 50 mm - 100 mm Visualisation: 3D map of surface potential and sample topography Oscilloscope: Digital TFT oscilloscope for real time signal Step size: 2 μm (Z); 1.25 μm (X,Y) Tracking system: Automatic hold of tip-to-sample distance to 0.5 μm Detection system: Off-null with parasitic capacity rejection Mounting geometry: Normal to sample surface Mounting flange: DN63 (4.5") OD Vacuum compatibility: 2 x 10-11 mBar Digital control of: Tip amplitude, frequency, mean spacing and potential System includes: Set-up guide, cables and manual Averaging: Signal and work function Spare tip amplifier: Included Warranty: 12 months
