The JEOL 9500 system uses a proprietary sample cassette format and thus each sample must be mounted in an appropriate cassette. Cassettes are available for wafer sizes from 2” to 8”. Smaller chips must be mounted in dedicated chip cassettes with slots of four different sizes available. | The JEOL 9500 system uses a proprietary sample cassette format and thus each sample must be mounted in an appropriate cassette.

For more information on available cassettes and their specifications please refer to the cassette specifications page found here - UPDATE. | ||
For the tutorial job we are using a 4" wafer and hence it must be mounted in one of the 4” cassettes, in this case the 4" aluminium cassette (BM2P-011). | |||

The system is fitted with an auto stocker system that can store 10 cassettes. It is thus possible to prepare multiple substrates and define an automated job to execute exposure of several substrates across several cassettes. A complete list of cassettes with specifications can be found here - UPDATE. | |||
Users are allowed to unload a cassette from the auto stocker system and mount their sample(s). Users are however not allowed to put cassettes back into the auto stocker system and thus users must always contact the Nanolab E-beam loading team prior to exposure to have their cassette loaded into the auto loading system. The E-beam loading team can be contacted at [email]. Upon loading a cassette Nanolab staff will visually verify the sample has been inserted and secured correctly. Incorrect sample mounting can lead to severe damage to the internal parts of the JEOL 9500 exposure system. | Users are allowed to unload a cassette from the auto stocker system and mount their sample(s).
