Silicon Carbide (SiC) Membranes
NORCADA Silicon Carbide membranes offer a Nitrogen-free, robust, conductive substrate for electron, X-ray, and optical microscopy. SiC is a high purity, robust, crystalline material with high thermal and electrical conductance and provides a Nitrogen-free environment for elemental analysis.
SiC membranes can be used as substrates for in situ electrochemical and gas cells, and as substrates for epitaxial growth of thin films. These unique membranes can also be used as bases for X-ray optics, photonic crystals, quantum resonators, and MEMS structures.
SiC can also be supplied as transmission windows for X-ray optics, X-ray beam exit and entrance windows, detector windows, and X-ray end stations. Please contact Norcada for more information about SiC transmission windows as the design and composition of certain units may need to change.
SiC membranes material properties include:
Nitrogen-free substrate for EDX elemental analysis and X-ray spectroscopy of nanomaterials, thin films and biological material
Single Crystal membrane, 3C phase
Conductive membrane, ~1 Ω.cm sheet resistance
High thermal conductivity, and thermally stable up to 800C
Low resistivity Silicon Frames for added charge and heat dissipation
Norcada SiC products can also be provided with a variety of custom features, including:
Patterned metal surface features and thin films
Micro- and Nano-pores
Location tagged MicroPorous arrays
Photonic Crystals and MEMS structures
Delivered in MultiChip format
Fiducial marks and alignment marks
Custom thicknesses, and multi-layer stacks
