MONSTR Sense at ICSCRM 2025
|
|
|
|
MONSTR Sense will be an exhibitor and presenter at this year's International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM) in Busan, Korea.
You can find us at Booth 074 to learn more about our silicon carbide defect detection capabilities in substrates and epilayers. We will also present a poster on "Ultrafast Imaging for Deep Defect Imaging Through Entire SiC Wafers," a collaborative work with onsemi. Due to its near-bandgap excitation, MONSTR Sense's ultrafast imaging can image deep through a silicon carbide wafer. We have demonstrated imaging of killer defects, such as surface triangles (polytype inclusion) and stacking faults, through 350 μm of substrate, with the epi-face of the wafer facing down. We can also link substrate defects, such as threading dislocations, to defects, such as stacking faults, caused in the epitaxial layer.
Learn more about MONSTR Sense's silicon carbide defect inspection capabilities with our compound semiconductor inspection service or convince yourself of the power of our KRAKEN Turneky Ultrafast Microscope by contacting us to schedule your KRAKEN demo.

MONSTR Sense Technologies Awarded NSF SBIR PhaseIIB Grant to Commercialize Characterization and Inspection of Semiconductors
|
|
MONSTR Sense Technologies, LLC, today announced it has been awarded a $500,000 Phase IIB Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The funding will contribute to continued improvements to MONSTR Sense’s BIGFOOT® spectrometer and NESSIE® laser-scanning microscope, as well as accelerate the commercialization of KRAKEN™, MONSTR Sense’s ultrafast technology platform for material characterization and inspection of compound semiconductors used in industrial applications.
The Phase IIB award is based on the successful completion of Phase II objectives and the generation of more than $1 million in revenue from products developed based on both Phase I and Phase II technical R&D. MONSTR Sense’s NESSIE® laser-scanning microscope, as well as the KRAKEN™ Turnkey Ultrafast Microscope, were released as part of Phase I and Phase II development and emphasize MONSTR Sense’s commitment to providing Ultrafast for Imaging solutions.

MONSTR Sense Technologies Expanding Its Facilities
|
|
|
MONSTR Sense has expanded its facilities, increasing manufacturing and R&D capabilities. The facility triples MONSTR Sense's space, allowing the company to fulfill its increased volume of orders and offering a dedicated demo room, which features a KRAKEN Turnkey Ultrafast Microscope.
"This new facility could not have come any later to accommodate the growth of our company. We are especially excited about the substantial increase in the size of our manufacturing space, which now has a dedicated area for KRAKEN assembly and testing. We now have a dedicated demonstration space, which allows our customers to demo the KRAKEN Turn-key Ultrafast Microscope on-site. The expansion of our R&D space is also a crucial update, enabling us to further our development and demonstration of ultrafast imaging for defect detection in compound semiconductors, especially silicon carbide", says Eric Martin, CEO of MONSTR Sense Technologies.

Higher-order coherent nonlinear spectroscopy & quantitative line shape analysis in 2D spectroscopy
Researchers at the Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal, use MONSTR Sense electronics to study the coherent nonlinear optical response for high-intensity excitation and perform quantitative line shape analysis for arbitrary inhomogeneity in two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy.
Higher-order coherent nonlinear optical responses are useful for understanding many-body interactions in semiconductors. The "continuous phase-cycling" approach of MONSTR Sense's products readily extracts the nonlinear response at high orders.
2D coherent spectroscopy is further useful for extracting homogeneous and arbitrary inhomogeneous distributions. The authors compare data acquired with MONSTR Sense's products to simulations and demonstrate a generalized framework for lineshape fitting.
These papers have been published in The Journal of Chemical Physics and Optics Letters.
