Latest applications note

Published: 
February 27th 2018
In a new applications note generated in collaboration with Lancaster University we demonstrate the quantification of layer composition in compound semiconductors of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSELs). XPS and Ar gas cluster sputter depth profiling has been used to determine the composition of the GaAs / AlxGa1-xAs layers.
