Thin film and coating testing using Bruker's UMT testers
16 Jul 2023In this application note, Bruker discusses its tribo-testers, which are used to evaluate the mechanical properties of thin films and coatings. These instruments enable in-situ analysis of thin films, measuring properties such as load, friction, acoustic emission, and resistance. The integrated system allows for mechanical tests and detailed imaging through atomic force microscopy or optical microscopy. The note explores experimental applications, including nanoindentation for optoelectronics, scratch testing on wafers, and scratch-adhesion on LCD display samples. Bruker's tribo-testers offer flexibility and precise testing for a wide range of thin films and coatings.
