INTRODUCTION
RES Calibration company was created in October of 2013. The company provides calibration services for Step Height Standards used primarily in the Thin Film Deposition and semiconductor industries. All calibrations are performed using Master Standards directly traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The company is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 registered, and also approved to meet the requirements of ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 2006.
CALIBRATION LABORATORY
The calibration laboratory is climate controlled to create a stable environment during the calibration process. The laboratory temperature is maintained and monitored 24/7 at 21 +/- 1 degrees C. The laboratory humidity is maintained and monitored 24/7 at 40 +/- 15%. All customers standards are kept in the controlled laboratory environment for a minimum of eight hours prior to calibration. Appropriate laboratory cleanliness controls are in place to ensure that airborne particulates do not interfere with the calibration process.
CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT
The machine used to perform all measurements of the customer standards is a Veeco Metrologies Dektak ‘V’ 200-SI. The machine is preset to the required step height range prior to each calibration using Master Step Height Standards directly traceable to NIST. For specific calibration ranges and measurement capabilities please refer to the ISO 17025:2017 Accreditation certificate in the ISO COMPLIANCE section.
