The Hitachi S 4700 I is a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The S 4700 I is configured without an EDX detector.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Hitachi S 4700 I is a metrology and inspection instrument in the scanning electron microscope class.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA scanning electron microscope forms images by scanning a focused electron beam across a specimen and collecting signals generated from the interaction between the beam and the specimen surface.
A scanning electron microscope is used to examine surface morphology, feature shape, and fine structural detail at high magnification.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA scanning electron microscope in metrology and inspection supports process control by examining wafers, films, patterns, and defects after fabrication steps.
A metrology and inspection microscope is typically used between process modules to verify pattern fidelity, surface condition, and defect characteristics before downstream processing continues.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA scanning electron microscope is used for defect inspection, surface examination, and dimensional or morphological review in semiconductor manufacturing.
