Focused Ion Beam System

Focused Ion and Electron Beam System Ethos NX5000

Unsurpassed Performance with Ultimate Flexibility

The Hitachi Ethos FIB-SEM incorporates the latest-generation FE-SEM with superb beam brightness and stability. Ethos delivers high-resolution imaging at low voltages combined with ion optics for nanoscale precision processing.

Features

High-Performance FE-SEM Column with Dual Lens Mode
• Ultra-high-resolution observation (HR mode: semi-in-lens)
• High-accuracy end-point detection in real time (FF mode: Field Free (time   sharing mode))

High-Throughput Material Processing
• Ultra-fast processing with high ion-current density (Max. beam current:   100 nA)
• User programmable script for auto processing and observation

Microsampling System
• Fully integrated sample-orientation control for Anti-Curtaining Effect (ACE   technology)
• TEM sample preparation for uniform lamellas at any orientation

Triple-Beam Capable, Delivering Advanced Quality Results
• Low-acceleration noble-gas ion-beam material processing
• Innovative functions reduce Ga ion related and other milling artifacts

Large Multi-Port Chamber and Stage for Various Applications
• Large sample size capable system with exceptional stage stability
• Full range enhanced long-distance tracking (155 x 155mm)

Refined Electron Optics and Multi-Signal Detection

The Ethos SEM column is composed of a magnetic- and electrostatic-field compound objective lens system configured as two lens modes. High Resolution (HR) mode achieves sample observation at ultimate resolution by immersing the sample within the magnetic field of the lens system. Field Free(FF) mode offers real-time FIB processing for high accuracy end point milling. Hyper switching between FIB irradiation and SEM imaging as fast as 10 nsec offers real-time fabrication and observation views with clarity. Fast SEM and IM imaging enables users to quickly find the area of interest with ease.
