FEATURE

Enabling seamless observation and analysis

Further strengthened FIB processing capabilities. Greatly improved SEM imaging by a new optical column. Improved operability with linkage capabilities.

FIB : Further strengthened processing capabilities

  • ・Enhanced control system
    The vector scan system allows for smooth processing of an arbitrary shape.
    Simple 3D observation & analysis is enabled.
  • ・Large ion beam current up to 90 nA
    High-speed processing of the specimen is enabled.

SEM : Improved imaging performance

  • ・High resolution at low accelerating voltage
    Combination of a hybrid conical objective lens and GENTLEBEAM™ achieves high resolution at low accelerating voltage (1.6 nm at 1 kV).
  • ・Acquisition of a variety of images
    Newly added UED & USD detectors enable acquisition of a variet y of SEM images that contain information on properties, chemical compositions and crystal structures.
  • ・High resolution at large probe current
    Combination of an “in-lens Schottky electron gun” and an aperture angle control lens(ACL) maintains high resolution at large probe current, allowin g for fast analysis.

3D observation and analysis

  • ・Stable automatic measurement
    The Slice and View system (standard component of the JIB-4700F) enables automatic repetition of processing, observation and analysis.
  • ・Easy reconstruction
    After the repeated steps, a 3D reconstructed image is acquired by the 3D-reconstruction software (IB-67020STKV)* from the serially-acquired data.

APPLICATION

Versatile solutions offered by FIB-SEM

Cross section specimen preparation, TEM specimen preparation, 3D observation, 3D EDS analysis, 3D EDSD analysis, Processing of fine shapes

Cross Section

The JIB-4700F Multi Beam System allows for seamless operations from protective-film preparation, specimen milling to cross section observation and analysis. The FIB column enables processing with a largecurrent Ga ion beam (up to 90 nA). This largecurrent processing is particularly effective for a large-area specimen preparation.

  • Cross section specimen preparation

    Preparation of a wide cross section specimen with a width of 100μm using a high current ion beam of 90nA

  • Cross section observation

    Cross section observation by SEM backscattered electron image

TEM Sample

The combination of the JIB-4700F and the manipulator system allows for smooth TEM specimen preparation. The use of the backscattered electron detector enables you to observe the progress of FIB milling with a high-resolution SEM image. The JIB-4700F enhances operation efficiency, such as detection of final milling end-point for preparation of TEM specimens.

  • TEM specimen preparation
