This LaVision High-Speed 2D PIV System is employed to acquire comprehensive insights into the swash flows generated by a train of solitary waves and the concurrent turbulence structure. This system conducts two-dimensional velocity measurements utilising a 100-Hz high-speed particle image velocimetry (HSPIV) technique.
LaVision's flow field imaging laser systems, known as FlowMaster, leverage cutting-edge Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) techniques.

The study of turbulent combustion greatly hinges on flow-chemistry interactions. Our high-speed laser imaging technology, which incorporates both PIV and OH-PLIF simultaneously within the same light sheet plane, enables the exploration of these intricate flow-flame interactions inherent in phenomena like ignition and flame extinction processes. LaVision's laser imaging framework uniquely facilitates such concurrent PIV and PLIF measurements, supported by our established FlowMaster and FlameMaster systems, both utilising the DaVis platform for synchronised image capture and data processing.

Verified thin film quality for flawless components

​With a DBLI system from our Industrial Line, you can test whether the piezoelectric behaviour of your thin films meets your requirements and ensure consistent performance across the wafer. All this early on in the production process before the films are processed further to form the finished component. Fully or semi-automated quality control lets you achieve outstanding reliability and reproducibility in your production. You can benefit from excellent production efficiency and maximum output, with flawless components.

​Easy to operate at all times

​The systems in our aixDBLI Industrial Line are fitted with an industrial probe from Formfactor (formally Süss Microtech). A wafer handler can also be fitted as an optional extra, enabling you to measure wafers fully automatically. Our DBLI Commander control software means the measurement system could not be easier to use. On top of this, handling with automatic alignment and pattern recognition ensures reliable measurement data across users. Different operator levels give you access to all parameters. Alongside a wafer map editor and recipe editor, you can also choose from a range of measurement modes. A SecsGEM interface allows the system to communicate with higher-level production management software.

Features & benefits

  • Quality control of the separated film before further processing
  • Differentiation between material faults on the thin film and component failure
  • Wafer mapping enables homogeneity testing and delivers feedback for process optimisation
  • Unique resolution of over 1 pm for process-sensitive monitoring of the most important parameters d33,f and e31,f
  • Thin film and component testing in a single system thanks to a combination of DBLI and SBLI technology
  • Monitoring of other characteristic values, such as breakdown voltage, leakage current, epsilon and loss factor

<![CDATA[HORIBA Debuts New LabRAM Odyssey Raman Microscope]]>Mon, 15 May 2023 07:00:00 GMThttp://analytical-online.com/news-events/horiba-debuts-new-labram-odyssey-raman-microscope
HORIBA Scientific, a global frontrunner in the realm of Raman microscopy, is pleased to unveil its latest innovation, the LabRAM Odyssey. This cutting-edge system represents a fully automated and remotely manageable solution.

The LabRAM Odyssey replaces the best seller LabRAM HR Evolution. Developed on the same platform, the LabRAM Odyssey is now more user friendly and offers new functionalities, advanced confocal imaging capabilities in 2D and 3D, and is fully compliant with all market requirements. 

The LabRAM Odyssey can also be configured to enable semiconductor process engineers to qualify the different steps in a timely manner, with a high level of confidence. The LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor is the ideal tool for photoluminescence and Raman imaging on wafers up to 300 mm diameter with its 300 mm × 300 mm automated sample stage and its automated objective turret. It offers a high spatial resolution mode to detect and identify defects and submicron inhomogeneities to understand and give insight about their origin. 
The LabRAM Odyssey Raman microscopes are ideally suited for both micro and macro measurements, and offer advanced confocal imaging capabilities in 2D and 3D. The true confocal Raman microscope enables the most detailed images and analyses to be obtained with speed and confidence.

The large dedicated application range in the LabSpec 6 software suite makes it possible to configure the software to suit and evolve for specific needs. Along with the unique SWIFT™ and DuoScan™ fast Raman imaging technologies, the LabRAM Odyssey also integrates two new calibration tools: VRM and Objective Adjustment.
  • VRM (Video-Raman Matching) ensures a perfect match between the video image and the Raman map locations. Such calibration is essential for correlating optical images with the chemical images obtained by Raman microscopy.
  • Objective Adjustment allows you to keep your region of interest in the field of view with whichever objective you use, simply by adjusting the sample position in XYZ directions.
​The LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor includes the DuoScan imaging function to permit both variable size laser macrospots for full wafer maps and high spatial submicron step scanning for small area maps. The range of available excitation lasers, combined with a wide range of spectral detection, from deep UV to near IR, makes the LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor system a two-in-one Raman and Photoluminescence spectroscopy tool. The “Tilt at midway” autofocus function overcomes possible sample/holder tilt and ensures reliability in uniformity response.

Noteworthy enhancements include the integration of a sample mounting stage adept at accommodating the prevalent 300 mm wafer size, catering directly to the semiconductor industry's standard requirements.
As compound semiconductors are becoming more complex with a higher number of elements, uniformity assessment on blanket wafers is essential for high quality devices and high yield. The LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor system will help process engineers qualify the different process steps in a timely manner and with a high level of confidence. With a high spatial resolution mode, the LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor offers the capability to detect and identify defects and submicron inhomogeneities to understand and give insights about their origin.

The LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor system includes a 300 mm × 300 mm automated sample stage and an automated objective turret, enabling the acquisition of maps of full wafers of diameter up of 300 mm.  In addition, the DuoScan imaging function permits both variable size laser macrospot for full wafer maps and high spatial submicron step scanning for small area maps.  The range of available excitation lasers, combined with a wide range of spectral detection, from deep UV to near IR, makes the LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor system a two-in-one Raman and Photoluminescence spectroscopy tool. The “Tilt at midway” autofocus function overcomes possible sample/holder tilt and ensures reliability in uniformity response.

As Raman and Photoluminescence characterization is moving from the lab to the fab for the emerging 2D materials-based devices, the LabRAM Odyssey Semiconductor system is the perfect tool for metrology technical managers.
