What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Scanning electron microscopes form high-resolution images of samples by rastering a focused electron beam across the surface and detecting emitted electrons or other signals.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Hitachi Regulus8100 functions as a scanning electron microscope. An electron gun generates a beam of electrons that is focused by electromagnetic lenses into a fine probe.

Scan coils deflect the electron beam in a raster pattern across the specimen. Detectors collect secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, and other signals produced by beam-sample interactions.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Upstream processes define the features to be measured; downstream, the SEM data may feed into process control systems or defect analysis workflows.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications of the Hitachi Regulus8100 include critical-dimension measurement, defect review, and failure analysis of semiconductor devices.

The instrument is also used for materials characterization in research and development, such as examining cross-sections of microelectronic structures.
