What it is
The Thermo Fisher Nicolet iN 10 IR is an IR microscope. The Thermo Fisher Nicolet iN 10 IR includes a granite table.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn IR microscope directs infrared radiation to a selected region of a sample and measures how the sample absorbs or transmits that radiation. The resulting infrared response is used to distinguish materials by their characteristic molecular vibrations.
An IR microscope uses microscope optics and a positioning system to isolate features of interest on a specimen. An IR microscope is commonly used to inspect particles, films, residues, or micro-scale structures that require localized chemical or compositional analysis.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn IR microscope fits into analytical and failure-analysis workflows rather than the main production path of patterning, deposition, or etch. An IR microscope is typically used after a sample, wafer fragment, or device cross section has been prepared for investigation.
An IR microscope is used when optical appearance alone is not sufficient to identify a material or residue. An IR microscope can support root-cause analysis by helping engineers connect a visible feature to its chemical identity.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn IR microscope is used for contamination review, residue identification, polymer and organic material analysis, and localized material verification. An IR microscope is also used in laboratory and process-support environments that need micro-scale infrared characterization.
