Measurement of Nanoscale Surfaces

量子科技有限公司（QS）是一家屡获殊荣的科技公司，专注于创新、开发和商业化下一代纳米材料和其他用于半导体和医疗保健应用的先进材料。在QS，我们开发了一类新的无重金属纳米颗粒，无毒，环保。QS已开始向图像传感器供应链中的许多客户提供这些材料。我们的客户通过将纳米颗粒沉积到电活性固体薄膜中，将这些材料用于光电器件，如红外光电探测器。为了向客户提供最佳的纳米颗粒材料，从而提供最佳的器件性能，我们必须详细了解纳米颗粒的电子特性以及我们的工艺如何影响这些特性的信息。这些详细信息可以通过直接测量和表征纳米颗粒表面来获得。这里提出的测量组合，以前没有尝试过，并在一起将完成图片给一个充分的理解。克服这些测量挑战将提高QS产品的竞争力，提高客户的设备性能，增加销售，获得更多的市场份额，并开辟新的市场。

Quantum Science Ltd (QS) is an award-winning technology company focused on innovation, development and commercialisation of next-generation nanomaterials and other advanced materials for semiconductor and healthcare applications.At QS we have developed a new class of heavy metal-free nanoparticles that are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. QS has started supplying these materials to a number of customers in the image sensor supply chain. Our customers use these materials in optoelectronic devices, such as infrared photodetectors, by depositing nanoparticles into electrically active solid films. To provide our customers with the best nanoparticle materials that would offer the best device performance, it is necessary to have detailed knowledge of the electronic properties of the nanoparticles and information on how our processes impact upon these.Such detailed knowledge could be obtained via direct measurement and characterisation of the nanoparticle surface. The combination of measurements proposed here, have not been previously attempted, and together will complete the picture to give a full understanding.Overcoming such measurement challenges will improve QS product competitiveness, advance customers' device performance, increase sales, gain more market share, and open up new markets.
