Sinton Consulting

About

Sinton Instruments is dedicated to developing and applying new tools and analysis to R&D and manufacturing in silicon solar cells and integrated circuits. Their goal is to enable the routine use of state-of-the-art device physics and measurements. They develop solutions to practical problems in R&D and manufacturing process control by providing physically-rigorous, simple, and cost-effective measurement tools and analysis. Over 600 of their minority-lifetime measurement instruments are in use around the world. Results from these instruments are frequently central to R&D and industrial publications and have come to provide the de-facto calibrated lifetime-measurement standard in laboratories worldwide. Through university and industrial collaborations, they maintain and extend their practical experience in silicon device physics, test and measurement, silicon materials, and silicon device processing in order to bring the best possible instrumentation design and analysis software to each new application.
