KLA iNano The nanoindentation instrument uses a diamond indenter of a specific geometric shape to press into the material surface with a quasi-static load, and records the loading in real time-The changes in load and indentation depth during the unloading process generate?Load-Displacement curve?Through curve analysis combined with mechanical models, parameters such as the nano-hardness and elastic modulus of the material are calculated.
The main applications of KLA iNano nanoindentation instrument:
Hardness and modulus measurement(Oliver-Pharr)
Mechanical characterization is of vital importance in the processing and manufacturing of thin films, including coating quality in the automotive industry and process control in both the front and back ends of semiconductor manufacturing.
KLA iNano The nanoindentation instrument can measure the hardness and modulus of various materials ranging from ultra-soft gels to hard coatings. The high-speed assessment of these characteristics ensures quality control on the production line.

Polymer TanDelta, storage and loss modulus
KLA iNano The nanoindentation instrument can measure ultra-soft materials including viscoelastic polymerstandeltaAnd storage and loss modulus. Storage and loss modulus as well astandeltaIt is an important property of viscoelastic polymers, where energy is stored as elastic energy and consumed as heat. Both of these indicators are used to measure the energy consumption of a given material.
High-temperature nanoindentation test
Nanoindentation at high temperatures is crucial for characterizing the material properties under thermal stress, especially for quantifying the failure mechanisms in thermomechanical processes. Changing the sample temperature during mechanical testing not only enables the measurement of behavioral changes caused by heat but also quantifies the transition plasticity of materials that are difficult to test at the nanoscale.
