CPD introduction and usage guidelines
- The procedure of critical point drying is an efficient method for drying delicate samples for SEM applications. It preserves the surface structure of a specimen which could otherwise be damaged due to surface tension when changing from the liquid to gaseous state.
- Si and III-V chips are allowed to be dried in this CPD tool, but chips releasing nanoparticles or nanowires are forbidden.
- The maximum chip size is 10*10 mm.
- This tool belongs to Quantum Photonics group, and is available for all cleanroom users. Please write to the cleanroom staff (cleanroom@nbi.dk) to ask for training and access.
