Capacitance Thickness Gauge / Displacement Gauge Frequently Asked Questions

Question number FAQ-0158

What kind of materials can be measured by the VE series gap detector?

  • Conductors
    material and surface condition do not matter. Items with a line resistance of less than several kΩ/cm can be measured as they are. Additionally, even insulators that are covered with a conductive surface can have their total thickness measured.

  • Semiconductors
    Silicon-based wafers are not a problem, but gallium arsenide and sapphire-based ones have items that can be measured and those that cannot be measured depending on resistivity. Please consult us.

  • Insulators
    such as glass, polyethylene, and polypropylene plastics. (Thin objects composed of a single material with uniform properties are the subject of measurement.)
