Selection Material for SEM Samples

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_column_text] Selection of Suitable Material for Preparing an Electron Microscope Sample Electron microscopy (EM) is a comprehensive characterization tool to explore micro-nano structures. The samples under study should be prepared before imaging by any type of electron microscopy, namely SEM, FESEM, or TEM. Coating the sample surface with a thin film of proper material, selection material for SEM samples, is one of the well-known preparation steps to achieve high-resolution, clear images. Vac Coat offers various vacuum coaters for SEM sample preparation.

Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) Technology

Report, Sputtering

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_column_text] Introduction Ion beam sputtering (IBS) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method which provides the highest precision and control among all other thin film deposition methods like thermal evaporation, DC/RF magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The high quality of IBS stems from low chamber pressure and high-energy ions striking the target(s). Offering various advantages from layer uniformity, stability, thickness control, and choice of material (metals, insulators, magnetic materials, refractory metals), ion beam sputtering is of interest to experts of optics, sensors (MEMS), thin film solar cells, and semiconductors.

Scanning electron microscopy is an efficient and non-destructive technique that provides detailed information on the morphology, composition, and structure of the studied materials. The first one of this electron microscope was invented in 1942. It was shown at that time that Secondary Electrons (SE) produced topographic contrast using the collector positive bias rather than the sample. After that, many changes were made until the first commercial sample of scanning electron microscope was introduced in 1965.
