What it is
The Thermo Fisher Scientific FEI Strata 400 S FE-SEM is a field-emission scanning electron microscope used for metrology and inspection.[1][2]
The Strata 400 S belongs to the Thermo Fisher Scientific FEI Strata 400 S family.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA field-emission scanning electron microscope forms images by scanning a focused electron beam across a specimen and detecting emitted signals from the interaction volume.
A scanning electron microscope is commonly used to examine surface detail and near-surface structure at high magnification.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Thermo Fisher Scientific FEI Strata 400 S FE-SEM fits in metrology and inspection flow after fabrication steps that create the features to be examined.
The machine supports process control by allowing operators to inspect surfaces and features for dimensional or structural assessment.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Thermo Fisher Scientific FEI Strata 400 S FE-SEM is used for inspection of semiconductor structures and for metrology tasks that rely on electron imaging.
A field-emission SEM is generally applied to detailed examination of fine surface features, pattern fidelity, and defects on engineered materials.
