1 SEM Techniques Using the Gatan Precision Etching and Coating System (PECS )

2 The Tool The Technique The Total Solution PECS Precision Etching and Coating System

3 Not just another new tool But a NEW Sample Preparation Technique A Clean Green Technique: ION BEAM ETCHING The perfect match for a FESEM or Optical Microscope Eliminate: Chemical Mess Chemical Handling Chemical Spills Chemical Hazards Chemical Disposal

4 Cleaning a b 20kx SEM images of tungsten plugs, sample was first mechanically polished. Image A shows leftover debris and contamination from polishing process (arrow). Image B is after Etch, sample is cleaned and reveals a variety of micro structural features. 4

5 Coating High-resolution cross-section through different coating layers of C and Cr sputtered on Si substrate. 5

6 100 nm 200kx PECS Coating Sub-nanometer grain deposition of Chromium (Cr), thin amorphous Cr coatings can be deposited without masking delicate specimen features. 6
