| The WCT-120 is an affordable, tabletop silicon lifetime and wafer metrology system, suitable for both device research and industrial process control. | |
The wafer measurement instrument offering the best available calibrated analysis of carrier recombination lifetime. Fully compliant with SEMI Standard PV-13.
Product Overview
WCT instrumens showcase our unique measurement and analysis techniques, including the highly regarded Quasi-Steady-State Photoconductance (QSSPC) lifetime measurement method developed by Sinton Instruments in 1994.
The QSSPC technique is ideal for monitoring multicrystalline wafers, dopant diffusions, and low-lifetime samples. This method complements the use of the transient photoconductance technique that is also standard on this instrument.
The QSSPC lifetime measurement also yields the implied open-circuit voltage (versus illumination) curve, which is comparable to an I-V curve at each stage of a solar cell process.
| WCT System Capabilities Primary application: Step-by-step monitoring and optimization of a fabrication process. Other applications: |
 Sinton Instruments' analysis yields a calibrated carrier injection level for each wafer, so you can interpret lifetime data in a physically precise way. Specific parameters of interest are displayed and logged for each measurement.larger view |
