Siliconized layer thickness measurement for syringe cartridges and vials

By SemiconSoft, Inc

Production control of the thickness and uniformity of the silicon layer is essential element of the product quality control. The thickness is determined by fitting a model of siliconized layer to measured data. Similar to syringes, glass vials are siliconized inside to prevent reaction of the medication with dopants/contaminants in the glass. The thickness of this coating is typically thinner than in syringes. Measurements are done using 40μm spot size.
