What it is

The Applied Materials G 3 Lite is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) used for review and metrology tasks in semiconductor manufacturing. The G 3 Lite model is a scanning electron microscope designed for review applications.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A scanning electron microscope operates by focusing a beam of electrons onto the sample surface and scanning it in a raster pattern. The beam interacts with the sample to produce signals, such as secondary electrons and backscattered electrons, which are collected by detectors to form an image of the surface.

The instrument uses electromagnetic lenses to focus the electron beam to a fine spot. The sample stage is typically capable of precise movement in X, Y, and Z axes to position features of interest under the beam.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The tool supports the characterization of advanced device structures where high-resolution imaging is required. Applications include process development, yield enhancement, and monitoring of pattern quality.
