Features

CD-SEM

Shotkey emission electron gun
Stable irradiation current and high resolution are accomplished.
Auto transfer system accordance with ultra-high vacuum
Because of auto transfer system, after specimens are set to stage, you can measure the specimens immediately by clicking the transfer button.
Perfect dry vacuum system
Diaphragm pump, turbo molecular pump and sputtering ion pump are installed for vacuum and exhaust system, clean-environmental measurement is realized.
Auto high-precision stage
Precision stage with four axis: X/Y/Z/R control is installed to chamber. Size measurement unit for each axis is installed, high precision positioning and size measurement are accomplished.
Compact body
Layout-free and portable SEM which can be set up for various situations.
Energy saving
Low energy consuming SEM which can be set up anywhere only with AC100V/4A power supply
Attachment integration
Multi-purpose instrument with various add-on: electron beam attachment for electron beam patterning, EDS attachment for element analysis and so on.
