Protemics‘ near-field system combines TOPTICA’s TeraFlash pro with carefully designed microprobes, where a photoconductive switch is integrated in a cantilever design. High-resolution 3D…
Counterfeit integrated circuits (ICs) present a significant risk in security-related IT departments. In the worst case, a counterfeit IC might turn into a hardware Trojan – a maliciously modified…
Non-contact measurement techniques play an equally important role in the quality control of another emerging class of electronic devices: flexible electronics. Components made of flexible circuit…
Conductive thin films have become indispensable components in electronics, being used in touch screens, displays, solar cells and transistors, to name but a few. They have to be manufactured with…
The potential of terahertz technologies for the inspection of electronic components has long been recognized. Compared to electromagnetic radiation at other frequencies, terahertz “light” offers two…
TOPTICA Photonics would like to thank Dr. Mira Naftaly (NPL), Prof. François Blanchard (ETS Québec) and Dr. Michael Nagel (Protemics) for their contributions and valuable discussions.View all…
Quality control of displays and touch screens, protection against product piracy in chip manufacturing, efficiency improvements in flexible electronics, identification of defects in solar cells,…
One of the striking features of Protemics’ near-field system is that the complete pulse trace and hence, time-domain and frequency-domain information is preserved for each image pixel. Therefore,…
A class of materials that has attracted much interest both for the design of flexible electronics and for photovoltaics incorporates organic semiconductors. Depending on the application, it becomes…
