Device Name / Brand / Model
• Name: Contact Surface Profilometer (Stylus Profilometer)
• Brand: BRUKER
• Model: DEKTAK XT
Overview
The BRUKER DEKTAK XT is a stylus-based contact profilometer that enables physical measurement of two-dimensional (2D) surface topography. It is used for high-precision measurements such as film/coating thickness, step height, surface roughness, and surface profile characterization. With built-in vibration isolation, the system supports stable and repeatable measurements. (Note: The system status is tracked as “In operation”.)
Purpose / Output
• Contact (stylus) measurement of 2D surface profiles and topography
• Film/coating thickness and step-height measurements
• Surface roughness and profile analysis
• Broad sample compatibility with large measurement and sample-size capacity
Application Areas
• Thin-film/coating thickness measurements (optical coatings, metal/oxide films, etc.)
• Step-height measurement and process verification in micro/nanofabrication
• Surface roughness and topographic characterization
• Profile and morphology measurements in MEMS/microstructure processes
Highlights
• High-precision topography measurement with vertical resolution down to 1 Å
• Sample measurement range up to 150 mm (6”)
• Improved measurement stability supported by vibration isolation
