Coatings

• Detection and quantification of pinholes 
• Root cause analysis of adhesion failure
• Quantification of initial growth
• Cleaning
• Surface modification

Example: Detection of bad wetting of coated surface 

With a normal ion beam the surface composition of the coating is determined. With a microbeam in the linescan mode the composition of the outer surface inside the pinholes and the distribution of the pinholes is determined.
