DIVE's Hyperspectral Vision Applications

Bipolar Plates
Printed Circuit Boards
Wafer-based Products

Bipolar plates are key components in fuel cells and electrolysers, acting as separators between individual cells. Corrosion protection of metallic bipolar plates is crucial, as the surrounding water gradually degrades the material, compromising performance and ultimately leading to the failure of the product. The inspection of these anti-corrosion layers faces limitations, particularly in production environments.

DIVE's Hyperspectral Vision technology offers a fast, contactless, and comprehensive inspection of the anti-corrosion layer on bipolar plates. It provides spatially-resolved data on layer thickness, homogeneity, and defects across the entire bipolar plate.

DIVE's Technology in manufacturing Processes

Layer deposition

(Large area) Manufacturing processes of thin films in industry require a precise control of e.g. film thickness, homogeneity, chemical compositions, crystallinity and surface roughness. In order to determine these properties in real time, Hyperspectral Vision is a novel, cost-efficient, and fast tool as in-line technology for large-area quality control. Manufacturing processes: - PVD - CVD - ALD - Spin coating - Slot-die coating - Spray coating

Layer and surface modification

Coating and surface modifications are of crucial importance in the industry as they add new functionalities to a surface in a very cost-efficient way. This must be accompanied by accurate monitoring of process parameters and modification results. Hyperspectral Vision provides insights into the surface condition (e.g. wettability, degree of adsorption, phase composition, penetration depth). Manufacturing processes: - Laser ablation -Laser microstructering - Doping - Etching - Thermal annealing

Surface cleaning

The cleanliness of surfaces has a major influence on the overall success of a manufacturing process and the reject rate. Only Hyperspectral Vision can provide comprehensive and non-destructive/non-contact knowledge of residues from manufacturing processes or after cleaning steps. Time-consuming single point measurements (e. g. XPS, AES) can be replaced and quality inspection is accelerated. Manufacturing processes: - Plasma cleaning - (Wet) Etching - Laser cleaning - Evaporation
