Tensormeter - HZDR Innovation

A new dimension of resistance measurements

With the tensormeter, all components of the electrical resistance of thin layers, such as silicon wafers, can be measured quickly and precisely with one measurement. The tensormeter determines the complete resistance tensor of one or more thin-film samples, which would otherwise require a large number of measuring devices and complex measurement setups. In addition, the tensormeter measures precisely in high resolution and with the lowest noise without sample structuring (e.g. lithography).

Tensormeter RTM1

One device for all measurements

Tensormeter RTM1 is the first integrated measuring device that enables the simultaneous measurement of all components of the electrical resistance tensor, even on unpatterned thin films and down to nano-ohm precision. It thus replaces all standard devices for resistance measurements such as lock-in amplifiers, source-measure-units, precision multimeters and switching matrix and combines them in one device.
