Title Utilizing Glow-Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy to Provide Industry with High Resolution Surface and Depth Profiling Solutions
Introduction Advanced MicroAnalytical offers GD-OES and other spectroscopic methods to offer quantitative analysis of metals, semiconductors and non-metallic solids.

Salem, NH, March 31st, 2020

In many of the products designed for use in the automotive, aerospace, marine and even everyday applications, structural parts and semiconductor components depend on the precise control of the microstructure and chemical composition of their surface or subsurface layers to work properly. The accuracy of these parts and components has been carefully planned and is essential to achieve unique properties, corrosion resistance or other performance requirements.

One powerful method that is available to analyze these materials is known as glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES). GD-OES depth profiling is a surface analysis technique that provides information about the distribution and concentration of elements along the depth from the surface in a solid or multi-layer material. Information extracted from this spectroscopic method is often critical for industry in understanding and controlling of the surface or substrate properties of a material or component that is under development or already exists.

As a leading provider of material testing services for industry, research institutions and government agencies, the scientists and engineers at Advanced MicroAnalytical employ GD-OES and many other advanced techniques to develop answers and solutions to meet the needs of a diverse range of clients. A few examples of GD-OES depth profiling analysis at Advanced MicroAnalytical’s state-of-the-art testing facility include the oxidation of super-alloys, plating layer characterization on steels, and the characterization of multiple layers in semiconductor devices or materials.
