Materials Science
BTS offers a range of products for use in the semiconductor and materials science fields.
FIB Foil Lift-Out With the Micro Support Benchtop Micromanipulator
- TEM imaging is an extremely valuable tool for a wide range of materials. Samples are normally formed by FIB preparation in an SEM followed by lift-out. Traditionally, this lift-out process is performed inside the SEM chamber (in situ). However, this process takes up valuable chamber time since the lift-out process can be performed outside the chamber (ex situ).
