What it is
The Thermo Fisher Scientific FEI Helios 460 F 1 is a dual-beam focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dual-beam focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope combines an ion beam column with an electron beam column in one platform. The ion beam is used for material removal and localized modification, and the electron beam is used for imaging and surface inspection.
The instrument supports precise site-specific work on small regions of a sample. The instrument class is used to observe, analyze, and prepare microscale features with direct imaging during processing.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dual-beam FIB-SEM sits in the metrology and inspection portion of a semiconductor workflow. The instrument is used after fabrication steps that create the structures being examined and before conclusions are made about defects, cross sections, or local feature conditions.
A dual-beam FIB-SEM supports cross-sectioning, failure analysis, and detailed inspection of device regions. The instrument is also used to prepare localized sample areas for closer examination.
Applications
The Helios 460 F 1 is used for semiconductor metrology and inspection work.[1]
