What it is

The Thermo Fisher Scientific Nicolet 6700 FTIR is a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer designed for both research and routine analysis applications.[1]

How it works

The Nicolet 6700 covers a wavenumber range of 7800 to 350 cm-1 with a resolution of 0.09 cm-1. The spectrometer employs an EverGlo infrared source and provides five external beam options for flexible configuration. The instrument is controlled via a USB 2.0 interface and runs the OMNIC software suite for data acquisition and analysis.[1]

The Nicolet 6700 is a fully upgradeable platform that can be configured with the Continuum infrared microscope for spatially resolved microanalysis of small sample areas.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Upstream steps include material delivery and deposition processes that produce films requiring compositional verification; downstream steps include final quality control and failure analysis where FTIR spectroscopy identifies chemical impurities or structural defects in packaged devices or wafers.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Thermo Fisher Scientific Nicolet 6700 FTIR spectrometer is applied to identify organic compounds, polymers, photoresists, and thin-film coatings in semiconductor and optics manufacturing. The instrument analyzes molecular absorption peaks to determine chemical composition, thickness, and bond structure of layers.
