Nanoscale Imaging and Circuit Edit with Helios NanoLab 660 Dual Beam Fib
With the addition of our Helios NanoLab 660, we are ready to face the smallest geometry technologies, with the highest resolutions.
Given the minimum resolution of 0.6nm from 15 to 2kV, and 0.7nm at 1kV, we are able to non-destructively view the smallest features.
Using the improved Tomahawk ion column, our operators are able to achieve the highest precision circuit edits and cross sections.
The improved column in the Helios NanoLab 660 also allows for high-current modes as well, allowing a broad range of edit sizes and speeds. Loaded with the newest recipes from FEI, accuracy and efficiency are pushed to a maximum.
The multi-gas system allows for a range of selective milling and depositions. Currently, we are able to deposit platinum or tungsten to meet your low resistance needs, as well as oxide to protect delicate edits and prevent corrosion. With targeted oxide and metal etch chemistries, any manner of edit can be ensured clean and thorough.
