Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) is an advanced imaging and analysis technique used extensively in materials science and biological research. It combines the capabilities of a FIB and a SEM to provide high-resolution 3D imaging and precise material characterization. The FIB allows for site-specific material removal/deposition for cross sectioning, preparing TEM or atom probe samples, nano-prototyping, and circuit editing. The SEM component offers high-resolution imaging of the sample's surface, creating a powerful tool for analyzing microstructures and nanostructures with exceptional precision.

Capabilities

  • βœ“Site specific preparation of cross sections for high-resolution SEM and TEM analysis
  • βœ“Multi-ion species (argon, nitrogen, oxygen, and xenon) dual beam FIB/SEM
  • βœ“Higher current capabilities, compared to a gallium tool, allowing for rapid milling through a wide array of materials
  • βœ“Large-area cross-sectioning/bulk material removal
  • βœ“Serial FIB milling with slice and view for 3D reconstructions, ability to collect EDS data with slice and view
  • βœ“Oxygen ion milling for artifact-free cuts through biological tissue and other organics
  • βœ“EBSD and EDS detectors
  • βœ“EasyliftTM micromanipulator for in-situ sample manipulation
  • βœ“iFastTM software for writing custom automation scripts
  • βœ“STEM, Thru-lens immersion, Everhart-Thornley, CDEM, and CBS detectors
  • βœ“Drift-corrected frame integration imaging
  • βœ“Field emission electron and ion beam sources, allowing high-resolution SEM imaging and excellent ion beam density
  • βœ“EasyliftTM micromanipulator for in-situ sample manipulation
  • βœ“Quorum cryo transfer system for beam sensitive materials such as polymers or biological specimens
  • βœ“Gas injection systems to assist with electron/ion beam metal deposition, and ion milling applications (Pt, insulator enhanced etch (XeF2),β€―selective carbon mill, and carbon)
