<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Although I do not work on/with the Dektak 6M product, I do work on older Veeco/Sloan Technology Profilers. The most likely issue if those erroneous step heights are the same magnitude is an open/bent pin on the A/D convertor
or a bad buffer IC on the output data bits of that A/D converter. Use ESD precautions when <span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:arial; font-size:16px">poking around</span></span> with the electronics so no more issues are created from mishandling!</div>

We are having an issue with our Dektak (Veeco) 6M. Does anyone here know anyone with expertise working on these units? It's showing abrupt steps on a patternless wafer. </div>
