Micro-sampling System
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.
Features
FIB micro-sampling unit and FIB micro-sampling method
An example of FIB micro-piller sampling
A micro-pillar sample including an analysis point is directly cut out of semiconductor device. Micro-samples are cut out or trimmed in various shape by varying the incident FIB-direction.
System configuration example
FIB-STEM System
A new-developed semiconductor device evaluation system consists of FB2200 FIB system and HD-2700 200 kV STEM. The system performs from searching defective points to analyzing structure in sub-nano meter scale within several hours.
