ENVIRONMENTAL DUAL-BEAM SYSTEM FEI Quanta 200 3D

FEI Quanta 3D ESEM-DualBeam.

As part of a "Wright Project" entitled "Case Center for Surface Engineering," SCSAM will install a new dual-beam system operating with a scanning focused ion beam and a scanning electron beam, a Quanta 200 3D made by FEI.

The Quanta 200 3D is a versatile low-vacuum SEM/FIB for 2D and 3D material characterization and analysis. Featuring three imaging modes - high-vacuum, low-vacuum and ESEM, it accommodates a wide range of samples. The instrument will be equipped with a field-emission Ga ion source and a thermal electron emitter. The enabling technologies, integrated onto a single platform, further include high-volume milling capabilities, ESEM differential pumping variable pressure vacuum system (oil-free), gaseous secondary and backscattered electron detectors for imaging and analysis in a gaseous chamber environment, gas Chemistry technology for enhanced milling rates, high-precision specimen goniometer with 50 mm travel along the x and y axes, automation serving unattended sectioning with full access to e-beam, i-beam, patterning, and gas chemistry functionality, a Windows 2000, 4-quadrant "Beam per Quad" user interface.
