Optical 3D profiler catalog

Click here to enlarge image

Featured in this catalog is a family of optical 3D profilers for surface height measurements of advanced materials, precision surfaces and optics, MEMS, and semiconductor packaging. The Wyko NT series noncontact measurement systems provide detailed surface and roughness analysis of heights from 0.1nm to 5mm with repeatable area measurements over a large field of view. The product line ranges from the NT1000 and the NT2000 for large samples to the fully automated NT3300 for long-scan, high-production throughput. Other features of the systems include data analysis, gauge capability, and push button operation. Veeco, Tucson, AZ; ph 888/248-3326, e-mail [email protected].

Supply chain web site

A gas manufacturer has added a supply chain and management system, which features online purchasing of cylinder gases and equipment, to its web site. The eScott system streamlines administrative tasks by providing online MSDS and certificates of accuracy; automatic notification of gas mixture expiration; and electronic invoicing and automatic reordering of contract products. In addition, customers can access large transaction archives that can be used for cylinder inventory control and trend/consumption analysis and reporting.

Heated vacuum valve brochure

This revised, eight-page brochure features the HPS Jalapeño series of heated vacuum valves for semiconductor processes, including CVD nitride, aluminum metal etch, and others. Containing applications, a technical overview, specs, dimensions, part numbers, and pricing information, it describes the poppet-style valves, which will reach a minimum internal temperature of 150°C. The valves are available in single- or two-stage models with an angle or inline body and a choice of seal, limit switch, and solenoid options.
