High-Resolution SEM Sample Coating System

High-Resolution SEM Sample Coating System

ESC-101

By combining a hollow anode ion source and magnetron ion source,
our own designed new ion gun creates ultra-fine structured films.

Features

Coating with tungsten and other ultra-fine particles with diameters of 1 nm and less are easily performed.

Granulation is not observed even under 700,000x magnification by a SEM, making the system suitable for high magnification observation. (The particle size of the tungsten film deposited by Ar ion beam sputtering is 0.2 to 0.5 nm.)

Quick coating with minimal thermal damage is attained with the sample surface temperature of 50℃ and lower.

3 to 5 minutes after the 1-Pa vacuum is reached.

Even and highly adhesive coating covers the narrowest profiles, obtaining coating that is less prone to contamination.
In addition to the standard tungsten target, other target materials are available upon request.

*Etching is optionally available.
