XRD Zero Diffraction Sample Holders Available!
X-ray diffraction is a popular method of analysis for determining the structural properties of crystalline substances. Samples for the analysis are loaded using sample holders. The perfect holder should not show any diffraction that disturbs the measurement results. El-Cat has developed Zero diffraction XRD holders and has now verified the high quality of the product with Delft University of Technology. Please let us know if you are interested in obtaining such holders. They are available in various sizes, with or without pockets.

We have a new Grinder!
We can now coarse and find wafers 3", 4" and 6" diameter to a precision of ± 1 µm. Grinding wafers as thin as 100 µm is now possible. We also made thickness standards, 25 wafers from 100 µm to 580 µm in steps of 20 µm. We can also use the grinder with our warp reduction techniques to produce 6" wafers with Warp <5µm.
