Analysis in electronics

In the semiconductor industry, high-purity materials are used, which are specifically spiked with particular elements with the goal to modify the material properties. Even the slightest contamination is sufficient to render the material useless. This is why the detection of the smallest traces of elements is part of the daily routine in the semiconductor production – a task that requires the highest level of detection sensitivity and precision.

With solid AA^® a relatively large sample quantity can be analyzed in undiluted form. Therefore, the solid AAS is the routine analysis method with the best detection results for many elements. Compared to alternative methods with similar sensitivity, it offers significantly easier handling and exhibits less interferences and sources of error.
