FIB is used to observe surface structure by detecting electrons generated upon ion beam irradiation and process the surface of a sample to an arbitrary shape by the use of focused ion beam. Since the ion beam can arbitrarily scan on a sample, FIB is widely used for site-specific cross section preparation for SEM observation and lamella preparation for TEM observation. FIB-SEM incorporates both FIB and SEM in a single system, and allows in-situ SEM observation of FIB-prepared cross section. By repeating FIB milling and SEM observation, serial cross-sectional SEM images can be collected and reconstructed for further three-dimensional structural analysis of the sample.
SEM column and FIB column are orthogonally arranged to optimize column layout for 3D structural analysis. FE electron source and its unique detection geometry enable high resolution SEM imaging at beam coincident point. 3D-EDS and 3D-EBSD can be performed without moving the stage. Employing micro-sampling and triple beam system, high quality samples can be prepared for TEM and atom probe.
NX2000 was developed towards the ultimate TEM sample preparation system. FE electron source and high-sensitivity detection system allow high-contrast, real-time end point detection. Sample orientation control technology and Ar/Xe triple beam system enable significant reduction of artefacts and damage during sample preparation. With auto micro-sampling function, the throughput of TEM sample preparation can be drastically improved.
MI4050 allows both high resolution SIM imaging and ultrafast FIB milling. High quality TEM sample can be readily prepared using Micro-sampling and low energy FIB. Cross-section FIB slicing and SIM imaging can be alternately repeated to automatically collect serial cross-sectional SIM images for subsequent 3D reconstruction.
This device is used for preparing the desired wafer part for analysis with STEM, TEM, etc. by extracting a micro sample with an ion beam in the vacuum chamber of an FIB system.
