k-Space’s annual sales of kSA 400 analytical RHEED systems up 27%
k-Space Associates Inc of Dexter, MI, USA - which supplies in-situ, ex-situ and in-line metrology tools for the thin-film, semiconductor, photovoltaic (PV), solar, automotive, glass and building materials industries - has announced increased annual sales for its kSA 400 product line, with installations of its kSA 400 analytical reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) system in 2018 up 27% on 2017.
“Our continued increase in system sales is supported by the continued increase in installations for higher-pressure deposition technologies, an increase in sales to OEM partners for new deposition chambers, and customer upgrades motivated by our improved product offering and Windows 10 compatibility,” says kSA technical sales manager Dr Carrie Andre. “Features such as triggering with substrate rotation are now more accessible to customers and offer the customer greater insight into the evolution of their RHEED pattern.”
The kSA 400 analytical RHEED system combines a high-resolution, high-speed and high-sensitivity camera with RHEED-specific acquisition and analysis software. Because of its advanced capabilities, continued new feature enhancements and proven history of over 25 years, the kSA 400 is the preferred analytical RHEED system worldwide for research and manufacturing, claims the firm.
