Normal inspection SEMs observe only the surface of a wafer. To study
the inside normally means timeconsuming cutting and preparation outside
the microscope. The JFS-9855S has a focused ion beam (FIB) milling system
built into the scanning electron microscope. The fine ion beam grinds
out a rectangular hole in an IC to create a cross section which can be
studied by the SEM/SIMS imaging including elemental analysis of the cross-section.
The system is designed for fast throughput and automated operation with
linking to optical review devices and support of CIM (Computer Integrated
Manufacturing System).
