Semiconductor circuit edit and circuit prototyping
Accelerating product development and time-to-market are critical as missing a technology window, or falling behind, can be extremely costly. As design and integration complexity rise with each new technology node, circuit edit tools are strategically important for managing costs, avoiding schedule delays, and optimizing product performance and functionality.
With the right tools, workflows and techniques, circuit editing can help companies reduce mask spins, rapidly prototype, and support customer design in schedules.
Designed specifically for complex semiconductor circuit editing, the Thermo Scientific Centrios and Centrios HX Circuit Edit Systems provide industry leading precision, control, and performance for the semiconductor devices of today and tomorrow.
Centrios HX Circuit Edit System
The Centrios HX Circuit Edit System is designed for the most advanced front and backside edit capabilities with unparalleled editing control, precision, and stability.
Featuring the new Thermo Scientific Celta Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Column, the Centrios HX System delivers high resolution at low beam currents and low landing energies, allowing you to perform edits accurately and with minimum circuit damage. Using an innovative dual-nozzle gas-delivery system with the broadest portfolio of chemistries, and the latest FIB technology, the Centrios HX System enables industry leading high-precision etching and fast, efficient editing.

Fundamentals of Circuit Edit eBook
While circuit editing is a well-established technique, it can be especially difficult for those who are new to it. To help you get started, we asked our circuit edit customers what they wish they had known when they started doing FIB circuit edit and collected their feedback, as well as input from our team of experts, in our new eBook: Fundamentals of Circuit Edit. The eBook includes:
- A definition of circuit edit
- An overview of focused ion beams
- Circuit edit tips from experienced practitioners
- Descriptions of key circuit edit tools and solutions
