Park Systems, a leading manufacturer of atomic force microscopy (AFM) products, announces the debut of Park XE15, a powerfully versatile atomic force microscope featuring a unique MultiSample™ scan. This newly developed large sample AFM provides researchers and operators with the ability to automatically image and measure up to nine individual samples. Park XE15 can also easily scan larger samples of up to 200 mm x 200 mm, a vast improvement from the current AFM products on the market. Park XE15 is ideally suited for shared labs environments that handle a diverse range of samples, researchers doing multi variant experiments, and failure analysis engineers working on wafers.

"We continue to set new standards of excellence with our new technology and high accuracy in AFM imaging and measurements," says Dr. Sang-Il Park, the founder and CEO of Park Systems. "Park XE15 features our most inclusive set of scan modes and can process a range of sample sizes, designed specifically to provide ease of use for shared labs with a wide range of individual requirements."

Park XE15 is the only AFM that maximizes the efficiency of product use with MultiSample™ scan, automated imaging of multiple samples in one pass. Specially designed multi-sample chuck holds up to nine individual samples which allows operators to scan the samples under identical environmental conditions, improving the accuracy and reliability of the data. After loading the stage with multiple samples, the scan process can be initiated. This makes it ideal for researchers wanting to scan larger samples or failure analysis engineers who need to place silicon wafers on the stage.

"Over the many years that I have worked with Park System, I have found them very responsive to customer feedback in developing new products. Park XE 15 is a problem-solver for engineers who need to process multiple samples simultaneously in a controlled environment," comments Ahmed A. Busnaina, Professor and Director The NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (NSEC) and the NSF Center for Microcontamination Control, Northeastern University. "The Park engineering team is a great nanoscale partner, working in unison with customers to create products that meet customer performance requirements."
