Sinton Instruments

Originally established in 1992 by Ron Sinton as Sinton Consulting, Sinton Instruments is dedicated to developing and applying new tools and analysis to R&D and manufacturing in silicon solar cells and integrated circuits. We develop solutions to practical problems in R&D and manufacturing process control by providing physically-rigorous, simple, and cost-effective measurement tools and analysis. Over 600 of our minority-lifetime measurement instruments are in use around the world. Results from these instruments are frequently central to R&D and industrial publications and have come to provide the de-facto calibrated lifetime-measurement standard in laboratories worldwide.
