k-Space Associates is a leading supplier of advanced tools for the surface science and thin-film technology industries. The company was founded out of the University of Michigan Applied Physics department more than two decades ago. k-Space specializes in thin-film metrology tools for MBE, MOCVD, PVD, PLD, sputtering, and thermal evaporation. This includes R&D and production line monitoring of semiconductor, optoelectronic, and photovoltaic devices. Our tools enable real-time monitoring as well as control of film thickness, temperature, stress, optical absorption, band edge, surface roughness, deposition rate, and optical constants. The kSA 400 is the most powerful analytical RHEED system available today. We also supply a range of ex-situ wafer and surface analysis tools. more info >>
