Safety
Use only if correctly instructed
The SEM Gemini 1 is a state of the art High resolution SEM with latest technology on low acceleration voltage imaging. Compared to the Supra models in the cleanroom, the Gemini 1 features a lot of sophisticated features that require specific training in order to ensure:
- Instrument safety: If not correctly operated, the instrument may suffer irreparable damage.
- User value: The level of sophistication is very high so unless correctly instructed, chances are that a certain mode may be incorrectly applied and the user will only waste time.
Below is a list of features or modes that require specific training in addition to the 'standard' training. All specific trainings will be added to the personal LabManager competence page. If a user is observed using the instrument without proper training, the competences will revoked.
List of modes/features/detectors that require specific individual training
- NanoVP mode
- STEM detector
- BSED detector
- Loading 150 mm wafers
- Tandem deceleration
Noise cancellation systems
The cleanroom is far from being the optimum environment for the SEM Gemini 1 as there are too many sources of noise - whether they are acoustic, mechanic, electric or magnetic of nature. To suppress the impact of some of these sources of noise, the instrument is equipped with the following:
- A Spicer Consulting SC24 Field Cancellation system: A frame with cancellation coils and controller
- A TableStable Active Antivibration platform: Platform underneath the SEM and controller
It is essential that these systems be respected as an integral part of the instrument.
