What it is
The Applied Materials G 2 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) used in the semiconductor industry for metrology and inspection.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a scanning electron microscope, an electron gun generates a beam of electrons, which is focused by electromagnetic lenses into a fine probe.
The electron beam is scanned in a raster pattern across the sample, and detectors collect secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, or other signals to build an image pixel by pixel.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMetrology and inspection tools such as this SEM are used in semiconductor fabrication to measure and verify critical dimensions and to detect defects on wafers.
The SEM operates in a cleanroom environment and is used for in-line monitoring as well as off-line failure analysis of production wafers.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBeyond semiconductor wafers, scanning electron microscopes of this class are used for imaging and analysis of a variety of materials at high magnification.
