Nickel deposition is tested occasionally, around 1 time per year in each machine. You are welcome to contact staff to request an extra test of the material.

Thickness is measured in 5 points with a stylus profiler. <br>
 
Additionally we examine the newly deposited films for particles using the particle scanner (if available, otherwise we use the Jenatech microscope in darkfield mode) and we monitor the sheet resistance of the Ti/Au films.
Thickness is measured in 5 points with a stylus profiler (usually DektakXT). <br>
