Keyword(s):
Ion Beam
◽
The cutting-edge tool for IC fab support and defect review brings together the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technology with the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) into a single workstation. The twin beam FIB/SEM workstation, FEI Company's DualBeam™ 820 for example, combines the unique micromachining, microdeposition, and analysis capabilities of a FIB with the high resolution imaging power of a Schottky field emission scanning electron microscope (FE SEM). The full functionality of both instruments is available and neither is compromised by the other.
