The Kelvin probe is a non-contact, non-destructive vibrating capacitor device used to measure the work function (WF) of conducting materials or surface potential (SP) of semiconductor or insulating surfaces. This system from KP Technology offers a WF resolution of 1-3 meV. The high-resolution 3-axis translation stage allows performing 50 x 50 mm 2D scans. The Kelvin probe is set up inside a Faraday and light enclosure to prevent from unwanted electromagnetic interferences.

The P-7 stylus profiler from TENCOR is a surface measurement system with 150 mm scan length standard. It offers good measurement repeatability and reliable height measurements of up to 50 nanometers. Its sensor includes dynamic force control, excellent linearity, and high vertical resolution. Finally, this stylus profiler's surface measurement system includes point-and-click operation.
