The GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge OES Instruments from Jobin Yvon can characterise multiple layer conducting and non-conducting coatings.

The GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge OES Instruments from Jobin Yvon can characterise multiple layer conducting and non-conducting coatings.

Applications such as semiconductors, glasses and metals are ideally suited to the instrument capabilities.

Fast acquisition times enable high throughput analysis whilst maintaining high reproducibility.

For instance a 360nm thick oxide film on aluminium may be analysed in typically 13 seconds, with in-depth resolution at the nm level and reproducibility of better than 1% for sequential analysis.

A recent publication reports that the glow discharge system from GD-Profiler RF-GD-OES exhibits excellent reproducibility from run to run.

Therefore, the instrument is an ideal tool for on-site quality control of surface related industrial products and coated materials, particularly for thicknesses from a few nanometres to hundreds of microns.
