New Product Development

In addition to providing PC Upgrades, service and parts for older PHI (Ulvac) systems and components, RBD Instruments will also be developing some innovative new products for the surface science industry.

As with all of our previous upgrade products for older PHI systems and components, the new products that we develop will be tools that will be the best value in terms of performance and price. We will focus on small niche areas where the needs are not being met by the other the surface analysis instrumentation companies. We have several new products in the development phase and will keep you posted of their progress via the News section in this website as well as our newsletter, The Service Detail.

microCMA - Compact Auger Analyzer

microCMAFormally known simply as the TFA (Thin Film Analyzer), RBD's Compact Auger Analyzer has a built-in 3 kV electron gun, fits on a 2.75" flange tube, and is especially suited for in-situ analysis of materials in deposition systems. It is also ideally suited for low cost surface analysis experiments.

Product development and engineering for the microCMA has been completed, and the first production prototypes are now being built. We'll be posting updates as soon as information is available.

 

15kV Dual Anode X-ray Source Package

Inspired by the robust PHI 04-548 X-ray Source, RBD Instruments is developing a dual anode 15 kV X-ray Source that will incorporate TSL’s proprietary barrier layer in order to achieve 1000 watts of power.

In addition to the source, we will also provide the High Voltage Power Supply and X-ray Source Control. The power supply and control will be compatible with PHI’s 04-500 and 04-548 Dual Anode X-ray Sources.

Look for updates on this new product’s development on our website and in upcoming issues of The Service Detail.
