HT: 1 2kV Escape depth of signal (BSE) 5nm 3D EDX of NiTi/Stainless steel Pierre Burdet, Marco Cantoni New possibilities in 3D-microscopy: Combination with quantitative analytical SEM techniques: EBSD, EDX
3 3D EBSD S. Zaefferer: EMAS 2009, Gdansk, Poland speed points/sec min./slice current and hardware limited 2011: 600Hz (= 1.6msec dwell time) o Stage movement necessary (rotation) overhead for image recognition and drift correction A 3D EBSD map from a thin film Nickel sample with a grain size of about 1 micron. The map is 51x32x24 voxels, each voxel is 20nm wide (OXFORD INSTRUMENTS) o high voltages: 15 20kV Limits: overhead : tilt or rotation, image recognition acquisition speed (100Hz = 10msec./pixel) (600Hz = 1.6msec/pixel)

7 2008 ( SDD age ) installation of Nvision CIME use the full potential of the machine 3D EDX Pierre Burdet: Ph.D. Thesis in collaboration with ZEISS Goal: FIB Nano Tomography based on EDX elemental maps new generation of EDX detectors (SDD) Develop algorithms do deconvolute the interaction volume of characteristic X ray Ion beam o Stack of 269 EDX maps o High tension : 5kV o Voxel size : 20 x 20 x 40 nm o Pixel per map : 256 x 192 (x 269) o Time per slice : 4+1 minutes o Time of acquisition : 24 hours Sample: Al/, Jonathan Friedli, STI LSMX EDX geometrical limitations 3D EDX is not like FIB/SEM Tomography The detector doesn t see everything Not all X-rays reach the detector d min h 30 m I beam EDX e beam
8 EDX limitations The detector sees everything. Parasitic X rays generated by : BSE hitting the trench walls X rays hitting the trench walls (Fluorescence) X ray BSE EDX limitations Parasitic X-ray s Nb 3 Sn (no Cu) in Cu matrix Parasitic signal of Cu Up to 7% at (@ HT = 7 kv) Up to 20% at (@ HT = 20kV) Depends on position on the face Nb Cu [% atm] 10 m Nb Nb 3 Sn Cu Cu Ta Sn Nb Si Sn Cu Ta O Nb Sn kev 30 m
9 EDX limitations Parasitic X ray signal depends on: Geometry and composition of surrounding Detector position Solutions Remove VOI out of surrounding : Block lift out Move the wall facing detector further away Bigger trenches Edge geometry (similar to 3D EBSD) Complete lift out EDX resolution Resolution limit: Interaction volume Lower the high tension as much as possible Big voxels Small voxels: convolution problem Delocalisation (metrology!) Quantification (inhomogeneities, interfaces, multiple phases) 15kV
10 EDX resolution evaluation of delocalisation: Model system Intensity % 600 Al Ka La % 100 nm Al % position nm Simulated linescan across the interface normal to y Signal is shifted towards Al because of the incident angle Positions of threshold (10 %, 50 % and 90 %) are used to compare with other geometries EDX resolution model system: Al Stack of 269 EDX maps Acquisition parameters High tension : 5kV Voxel size : 20 x 20 x 40 nm Pixel per map : 256 x 192 (x 269) Times per map : 4+1 minutes Time of acquisition : 24 hours Al K elemental map, x/y aligned, smoothing filter (median 3D), surface reconstruction with a single threshold Study of the delocalisation of interface (normal to main axes) y 9.4 m z x 3.7 m 5.2 m

12 Improving 3D quantification : Idea Algorithm to enhance 3D EDX quantification Recursive relation Composition of a voxel depends also on the subsequent voxels (along z) Sample considered as stratified f function: Thin film ( z) quantification* Thesis: Pierre Burdet Grain boundary and voxels in depth Recursive relation z index (layer) C i A = f (k-ratios i,c i-1, C i-2, ) Element index * Pouchou, J. Analytica Chimica Acta 283(1), pp November (1993). Application: enhanced quantification Geometry of acquisition : tilt of 36 Interaction volume delocalized in y C i-z = weighted mean of neighbors in y Mean electron y-distribution per z-layer Simulated from pure material Electron distribution in the i-2 layer Recursive relation z index (layer) C i A = f (k-ratios i,c i-1, C i-2, ) Element index
