Technology Overview
This technology introduces a high-throughput thermo-reflectance microscope utilizing parallelized spatial domain thermoreflectance (P-SDTR) to measure thermal transport properties across multiple sites simultaneously. It features a digital light processing (DLP) system for image projection, a nanometer-thick gold film as a thermal transducer, and a lock-in camera for detecting surface temperature changes. The system's parallel architecture significantly enhances data acquisition speed, reducing measurement times from years to weeks.
