What is it?
What can it run?
Process applications and technology nodes documented for this tool.
- Use in the facility
- Moved to classrooms or labs for demonstrations
Why won't it start?
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
- Non-conductive specimens may charge up, causing image deviation and brightness/contrast changes.
- A dirty objective aperture or condenser lens aperture can cause increased astigmatism or inability to acquire an image.
- Image blurring can be caused by excessive vibration or stray magnetic fields at the installation site.
- Images can become rough with low contrast in charge-up reduction mode at 5 kV.
