Semiconductor Sample Preparation for Atom Probe Tomography Webinar

Advances in semiconductor design mean smaller and more complex architectures are used in the manufacturing process. Atom probe tomography is used in characterizing these architectures, as it enables accurate visualization and analysis at high resolution.

However, in order to precisely characterize samples using atom probe tomography, clean and uniform sample preparation is necessary. This is difficult to achieve using current high kV cleaning methods, because these techniques damage the sample surface. 

What will you learn in this webinar:

  • Learn about a precise, low kV cleaning process for atom probe tomography – a method that delivers clean, high quality samples, as well as better depth control to reach the region of interest (ROI).  
  • Learn how this process can automate atom probe tomography sample preparation, increasing productivity for users.
