Silicon Chips

Square silicon chips are ideal substrates for Microscopy and Spectroscopy applications.   The chips are 10-mm square and 525-µm thick.  See bottom of page for additional properties.

 

Silicon Chips

Square chips of silicon are convenient and ready to use.  Polished silicon exhibits  low roughness.  Atomically flat surface enables high resolution imaging for AFM and SEM applications.
