Functions steadily increase even though the newer the model, the slimmer and more compact the body. Functions are myriad: clear sound, email, music, digital photos and video; not to mention electronic money and remote control. Cell phones have become indispensable to daily life, and they are truly a symbol of the IT society. Involved in the manufacture of cell phones are analytical instruments that pursue the ultimate limits of precision.

In the manufacturing process of LCD panels, which are essential to cell phones, this analyzer rapidly measures, with high precision, the thickness and optical constants of a variety of thin films and multilayer films on glass substrates. It is also compatible with low-temperature polysilicon, amorphous silicon liquid crystal and next-generation organic electroluminescent (EL) displays.

Compliance with the EU RoHS Directive related to restrictions on hazardous materials contained in electronic devices is a major issue for the manufacturing sector. Capable of measuring five of the restricted substances in just 30 seconds, this analyzer greatly contributes to the management of substances and materials used in electronic equipment.

The reason the size of handsets is shrinking even though functions are increasing is due to ongoing progress in higher density integration on substrates. The frontlines of industry are pursuing the ultimate limits of microelectronics, and devices are necessary to accurately measure the thickness of ultra-thin films. This analyzer is the result of a fusion of HORIBA JOBIN YVON's spectroscopic ellipsometer technology and HORIBA's manufacturing technology.

Comprehensive analysis of particles and particulates for material analysis is crucial to developing the lithium ion batteries that enable long-term use of cellular phones. The system engages in a wide range of elemental analyses at the nano level.

PFC gases and other substances with deleterious environmental effects are among the gases used in the manufacturing process for semiconductors and LCD panels. This analyzer aids in the comprehensive management of these substances.

A variety of liquids and gases are used in semiconductor manufacturing. The Mass Flow Controller appropriately adjusts their flow volume and density.

The world of semiconductor manufacturing does not brook the adherence of even tiny micro-particles. This sensor is used to detect impurities in the chemicals used in cleaning processes.
