The Hitachi NX 5000 is a Focused Ion Beam - Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) tool. The Hitachi NX 5000 is manufactured by Hitachi.[1]
What it is
The Hitachi NX 5000 is a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) system.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a dual-beam FIB-SEM, the electron beam column provides high-resolution imaging by scanning a focused electron beam across the sample and detecting generated signals such as secondary electrons or backscattered electrons.
The focused ion beam column, typically using gallium ions, is used for precision material removal, milling, and deposition, and can also generate ion-induced secondary electron images.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn semiconductor manufacturing and metrology, FIB-SEM systems are used in failure analysis, process development, and quality control rather than in high-volume production.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedFIB-SEM instruments are applied to semiconductor device analysis, including defect characterization, interconnect structure verification, and material composition analysis when combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) or other detectors.
