Instrument specification

  • Technical aspects

    SEM: Auriga 40 from Zeiss with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) from Oxford - X-Max 150 (150mm? detector surface), in-lens-detector for high resolution, energy selective backscatter electron (ESB)-detector for low kV-range, charge compensation (CC), backscatter detector for high kV range

    FIB: Gallium ion source with a long service life of 1500 ?Ah, optimum lateral resolution < 7.0 nm at 30 kV, energy range 5 kV - 30 kV (preferred operation @ 30 kV), beam current 1 pA - 50 nA, selectable via high-precision motorised aperture changer

    Nanopattering and Lithography: RAITH ELPHY MultiBeam: 20 MHz Digital Signal Processor, 50 ns minimum dwell time with 1 GHz resolution, thermally stabilized 16 bit DA converters, Multi I/O Signal Router, ELPHY NanoSuite software

    Holders for 4 and 6 inch wafers, 9-stub-holder for 12,5 mm diameter pin stubs, holder for one dove tail stub
