Company France
The company develops and commercializes new solutions for:
- Optical visualization of nano-objects and ultra thin films
- Thickness measurement of ultra thin films
The company's technology is a new optical quantitative imaging technique based on the association of:
- An upright material optical microscope with polarized white light source
- Specific supporting plates – called Surfs – on which the sample to observe is deposited
The visualization is based on the perfect control of the reflection properties of polarized light on a Surf, which leads to increase the axial sensitivity of the optical microscope by a factor of around 100 without reducing its lateral resolution.
The measurement of thin film optical thickness, as well as the 3D representation, is made possible by the colorimetric study of the images.
Even if the technology appears as a novel and self-contained nanotechnology tool, its combination with other techniques (like AFM or RAMAN spectroscopy) leads to a real synergy.
