Cathodoluminescence (CL) System


Main Features:
  • High efficiency collection and transmission optics.
  • Capable of panchromatic/monochromatic CL imaging and spectral analysis.
  • Spectral analysis from Ultra Violet to Near Infrared region.
Current Focus:
  • NIR imaging & spectral analysis.
  • Time-resolved & depth-resolution CL.
CL system setup:

Retractable CL detector:

Defects Mapping:


In0.54Ga0.46As /InP, 0.08% mismatch.


In0.46Ga0.54As /InP, 0.15% mismatch.

Depth-resolved CL:


At 22 KeV, only few defects appear in the emission region of the LED.



At 30 KeV, more defects are clearly seen as the electron beam penetrates deeper.

Temperature dependant CL spectroscopy:


Characterization of Ge nanocrystals in SiOx matrix - Luminescence property as synthesized by different Rapid Thermal Annealing.



Characteriztoin of defects in SiO2 film-on-Si substrate - Temperature dependence of CL spectra.
