Thermo Fisher Scientific, along with the Semiconductor Industry and SEMI, have established specific particle sizes to be used when calibrating Scanning Surface Inspection Systems. Working with instrument manufacturers, we created the SURF-CAL* product line to meet SEMI standard guidelines.

• Available sizes are considered to be critical sizing nodes as defined by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS)
• By depositing SURF-CAL NIST traceable polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) on specially selected wafers, you can perform periodic calibration checks and compare your scanner with scanners at other locations
• You can also assess the performance of your SSIS at critical stages in the manufacturing process
• All products are suspended in deionized, filtered water in 50mL bottles at a concentration of 3 x 10⁸ particles per mL

Products PD1100 and smaller are also available at 10¹⁰ particles per mL for applications using the aid of a Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA) or other size exclusionary techniques
