SCANNING TCT SYSTEM

Particulars Scanning TCT System is a complete setup for measurements of transient currents generated in semiconductor sensors with narrow laser beam

It can be used for standard and Edge-TCT measurements. Edge-TCT enables measurements of charge collection and carrier velocity profiles – crucial for understanding the performance of heavily irradiated detectors.
