| ===Sample requirements===
| |
| *The Nova NanoSEM analyzes a variety of samples, however, excluded are samples that may degas, disintegrate or produce dust/particles. Therefore, no wet polymers, powders etc. If you have any questions, please ask Jonas.
| |
|
| |
| === Sample sizes===
| |
| *Up to 6" wafers.
| |
|
| |
| === SEM modes ===
| |
| * Mode 1: High Resolution SEM mode: This is the standard operation mode associated with SEM.
| |
| * Mode 2: Ultra High Resolution SEM mode: Magnetic fields generated in the chamber act as a virtual lens that engulfes the sample. Using this semi-immersion lens increased resolution may be achieved at high magnifications.
| |
| * Mode 3: EDX mode: Similar to Mode 1, but the electrons are trapped using a magnetic field.
| |
|
| |
| === Lateral resolution===
| |
| The resolution that may be achieve is highly dependent on the type of sample and SEM operator skills. In the best cases one may expect:
| |
| * High Vacuum operation:
| |
| 1.0 nm at 15 kV (TLD detector and optimum working distance)
| |
| 1.8 nm at 1 kV (TLD detector and optimum working distance)
| |
|
| |
| * Low Vacuum operation
| |
| 1.5 nm at 10 kV (Helix detector and optimum working distance)
| |
| 1.8 nm at 3 kV (Helix detector and optimum working distance)
| |
|
| |
| === Acceleration voltage===
| |
| * 200 V - 30 kV
| |
|
| |
| === Detectors===
| |
| * ETD: In chamber SE Detector (Everhardt Thornley Detector)
| |
| * TLD: Inlens SE detector (Through Lens Detector)
| |
| * BSED: BackScatter Electron Detector
| |
| * LVD: Low Vacuum SE Detector
| |
| * Helix: High resolution Low Vacuum detector
| |
| * GAD: Low Vacuum Backscatter Electron Detector (Gaseous Analytical Detector)
| |
| * EDX: Liquid nitrogen cooled detector of X-rays
| |
|
| |
| === Stage===
| |
| The eucentric stage is centered in (x=0,y=0) and has eucentric point at WD 5 mm.
| |
| * X range: 150 mm
| |
| * Y range: 150 mm
| |
| * Z range: 10 mm
| |
| * Rotation: 360±
| |
| * Tilt range: -10 to 60 degrees.
| |
|
| |
| === Vent and pumpdown time===
| |
| * Approximately 5 minutes combined.
| |
|
| |
| === Accuracy and reproducibility===
| |
| * A standardization procedure will be introduced soon.
| |
|
| |
| === Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis===
| |
| *Oxford Inca system installed for high performance EDX analysis.
| |
|
| |
| === Micromanipulator===
| |
| *A Kleindiek micromanipulator with a Capres 4 point probe is installed.
