What it is

The Hitachi S 806 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) used for metrology and inspection in semiconductor and materials analysis.[1][2]

How it works

The S 806 includes an EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) system for elemental analysis, with a Thermo/Noran Six detector.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

SEMs are used in semiconductor fabrication for defect review, critical dimension measurement, and contamination analysis after various process steps such as etching, deposition, or lithography.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Hitachi S 806 SEM is applied in semiconductor manufacturing for imaging and elemental analysis of wafer surfaces and structures.
