The functions and applications of the probe-type step gauge

The probe-type profilometer (step meter) is mainly used for the structural and surface analysis of materials, and is applied in the fields of microelectronics, semiconductors, solar energy, high-brightness leds, touch screens, medical care, scientific research and materials science.

At the same time, depending on the application field and requirements, there are various models of step meters. Here, we take the P-17 model of step meter provided by Unicon as an example to briefly introduce the functions and applications of this instrument for your reference and understanding of what a step meter can do and what functions it has. This model is a commonly used one. If you have higher requirements, you can also consult us. We will recommend more suitable machines for everyone.

The main functions are:

Picture Keywords· Step height: a few nanometers to 1000μm
· Micro-force constant force control: 0.03 to 50mg
Full-diameter scanning of the sample is required without image stitching
· Video: 5-megapixel high-resolution color camera
· Arc correction: Eliminate errors caused by the arc-shaped movement of the probe
· Software: Simple and user-friendly software interface
· Production capacity: Fully automated through sequencing, pattern recognition, and SECS/GEM
