The SENDIRA infrared ellipsometer is specially designed to use FTIR. The table top instrument links to a commercial FTIR instrument to provide excellent precision and high resolution in the spectral range from 1.7µm – 25µm.

The spectroscopic ellipsometer is focussed on the vibrational spectroscopic analysis of thin layers.

Applications range from dielectric films, TCOs, semiconductors to organic layers, and the commercial FTIR is still available to perform general vibrational spectroscopy as well.

SENTECH Instruments of Berlin have been manufacturing tools for thin film metrology and thin film processing since 1990. They are a growing company with a reputation for high quality reliable equipment and excellent service. Their tools are used in applications such as semiconductors, microsystems, photovoltaics, nanotechnology and materials research.
