KP Technology Systems
Features
Description and Comparisons of Some
Advanced Probe Features:
Off-null (ON): the KP Technology ON signal detection
system works on high signal levels and has an
inherently higher resolution compared to null-based
(LIA) systems. Null-based systems are prone to noise
because the signal height is zero!
Height Regulation (HR): The KP Technology HR system
controls the tip height during measurements and scans.
Without this feature Work Function measurements will be affected by sample topography, be difficult to reproduce and prone to drift.
Fast Response Time: KP Technology systems are capable of measuring at a rate of 0.1 - 10 seconds. LIA systems typically use 10-30 second time constants to reduce noise.
Versatile Drives: KP Technology Voice-coil (VC) drives are highly stable in frequency, (unlike piezoelectric driving systems) and they are capable of much larger tip amplitudes, ideal parallel plate operation and supporting a range of tip sizes.
Common Features
All our Kelvin Probe systems are controlled by a 6th Generation Hardware-Software combination termed the 'Baikie System'. This system, featuring digital control of all probe and detection parameter permits the operator to concentrate on sample analysis rather than technical issues. Our systems come complete with a Frequency Characteristic, Sample Measurements and Quick-Setup Parameter File.
