X-ray photoelectron spectrometer - Theta Probe

Thermo Scientific Theta Probe is a small spot XPS instrument which has the unique ability to collect angle resolved spectra without the need to tilt the sample. It provides the capability to characterize ultra-thin layers non-destructively.

New and emerging technologies rely largely on the engineering of the near-surface region of a solid surface. These technologies include bio-medical devices, surface modified polymers and materials within advanced semiconductor devices. It is important that the composition of the first few nanometers is done perfectly for such materials.

Theta Probe is a unique XPS spectrometer that makes use of parallel angle resolved XPS (PARXPS). It has the advantage of the advanced software which deals with the ARXPS data and produce accurate and precise answers.

X-ray photoelectron spectrometer - Theta 300

Thermo Scientific* Theta 300 is a wafer-management instrument that employs a grouping of angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to distinguish planes and ultra-thin films by means of high accuracy. Several of the novel materials that are currently emerging in semiconductor appliances are chemically multifaceted and are there as ultra-thin films. For this kind of fabric, it is necessary that the concerto of the film is recognized with poise together with the method in which the concerto differs near to surfaces and crossing points. Theta 300 offers this fact from wafers of maximum of 300mm diameter by using analogous slant resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Avantage information system, which is essential to Theta 300, offers all of the sophisticated software to cope with the analogous slant resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy information and generate precise and accurate dimensions.

Electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) - SXFiveFE

Field Emission Electron Probe Micro Analyzer for Quantitative Analysis and X-Ray Mapping at the Highest Possible Spatial Resolution

The SXFiveFE is CAMECAs fifth generation electron probe microanalyzer. It brings together all of the best features of CAMECAs previous EPMA models and incorporates a number of outstanding features, including the unique combination of a field emission electron column with CAMECA's industry-leading high-sensitivity and resolution spectrometers.
The SXFiveFE performs high accuracy quantitative chemical microanalysis at highest possible spatial resolution in mineralogy, geochronology, and material sciences.

Optimized Field Emission electron column

The SXFiveFE is equipped with a Field Emission (FE) electron source (Schottky emitter). The electron column has been optimized to achieve small beam diameters with high beam currents even at low accelerating voltages thus enabling X-ray mapping and quantitative analysis at extremely high spatial resolution. The beam intensity is accurately measured with an annular Faraday cup and is continuously regulated, achieving a stability of 0.5% per hour, thus enabling reliable quantitative analyses. The high voltage system operates at up to 30 kV for elements with high atomic number.

Electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) - Shielded SX

Shielded Electron Probe MicroAnalyzer for Radioactive Samples

The Shielded SX has been specifically developed to handle and analyze radioactive samples (eg nuclear fuels) emitting gamma radiations up to 3 Curies at 0.75MeV. Based on the SXFive and SXFiveFE architecture, the Shieldede SX is further equipped with shielded WDS spectrometers and a shielded sample stage in order to ensure safe sample manipulation and to preserve analytical performance.
Fully customized environment and analytical equipment

The instrument (column, spectrometers and sample stage) are installed in a "hot" cell (lead or concrete shielded room).
The instrument is fully remote-controlled (stage, column, diaphragms...) with electronics and computer deported outside the hot cell environment.
Remote-manipulators and/or ball manipulators are used to insert and mount the radioactive samples. In the ITU Karlsruhe-Germany configuration, for example, the analysis chamber is vented and the stage is moved to a position directly accessible with ball-manipulators at each sample exchange. In the LECA/STAR CEA Cadarache-France design, samples are introduced via an airlock system located in a glove box for alpha confinement.
All WDS analyzers and detectors are shielded to prevent the background caused by the gamma radiations.

The stage is made of Denal material.
The Secondary Elecron detector has a special orientation to avoid gamma ray perturbation.

Auger spectrometer - NanoSAM Lab

UHV Gemini Electron Column:
highest spatial resolution
smallest e-beam spot size
unique low-energy performance
efficient SEM with in-lens SED

NanoSAM Electron Analyser:
variable energy resolution
excellent sensitivity, multichannel detection

Sample Handling:
flexible sample size
variable sample temperature (50-500K)
sample tilt 60

The NanoSAM Lab is the ultimate tool for the analysis of small structures. Driven by the unique performance of the UHV Gemini electron column, it guarantees unrivalled resolution below 5 nm in Scanning Auger Microscopy (SAM) and better than 3 nm in SEM.

In contrast to other Auger tools, the extremely good resolution is not only available at standard 20 keV beam energy, but even at 5 keV the SAM resolution remains below 10 nm. This allows operation in a parameter range where the Auger cross sections are high, and well documented for quantitative analysis.

Easy sample navigation by PEEM technology
Small spot spectroscopy
Aberration Corrected Energy Filter
High Power Monochromatic X-Ray Source
ARUPS with ultimate angle acceptance
Created in co-operation with FOCUS GmbH

The NanoESCA offers chemical state mapping with unsurpassed XPS lateral resolution (<500 nm achieved under laboratory conditions). The instrument allows analyzing smallest sample structures giving chemical state information beyond the limits of other high lateral resolution techniques such as scanning Auger and TOF SIMS.
Real time sample navigation is ensured by PEEM technique which operates in the secondary electron regime. The PEEM mode allows finding small features easily on a large sample area and provides high resolution (< 50 nm resolution). In addition the PEEM mode provides quantitative information on the very local work function and local sample charging.

The spectroscopy capabilities of the NanoESCA can be completed by the ARUPS option which allows analyzing the k-space from m-areas e.g. small grains in a polycrystalline surface with ultimate angular acceptance.
For its revolutionary design the NanoESCA received the 2007 R&D 100 award.

Imaging and small area XPS
XPD, AES, ISS and UPS

Rapid upgrade of outdated XPS systems

Argus is a next generation hemispherical analyser with multichannel detection technology developed for uncompromised XPS and ESCA analysis. It is a multi-purpose easy-to-use electron spectrometer with excellent transmission and outstanding sensitivity provided by state-of-the-art multi channel detection. Dedicated detection modes such as Snapshot XPS and chemical state imaging guarantee that relevant information from the sample surface is provided to the scientist fast and easily.

Rapid and reliable quantitative analysis relies on high sensitivity detectors and well characterized high-transmission electron optics in all parts of the spectrometer from the lens entrance to the detector surface. The Argus is based on proven lens design optimized by extensive electron optical simulations and careful verification in experiments.

Well defined small spot analysis is guaranteed by a dedicated and easy-to-use aperture mechanism. The combination of a double aperture mechanism and a fully characterized magnification lens ensures defined area analysis from several mm down to <60um diameter without crosstalk from the surrounding area.

While imaging XPS ensures navigation and identification of inhomogeneous samples the multi channel detector increases analysis speed and provides modes e.g. for dynamic process analysis.
