High resolution analytical em

Objective

Improve current version of machine by

- improving the handling and equipping the tool with the proper load-lock, anticontaminator, and stage.

- simplifying operations with completely menu-driven parameter sets.

- adding missing link from inline review-stations to offline analysis.

- reducing maintenance frequency with a better performing contamination protection in the column.

This project will assess an analytical Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) from LEO (ex-ZEISS), which offers a unique combination of state-of-the-art resolution in a low-voltage regime with the high-beam current of a Schottky heated field emission electron source. The advantage of this machine over the main competitors, Hitachi and Jeol, is a better signal-to-noise ratio and a significantly higher sensitivity in materials' analyses. The outcome of the project will be a machine upgraded to meet the online needs of defect/particle and failure analysis laboratories, today handled offline by the semiconductor manufacturers.

Fields of science

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques.
