What it is

The Thermo Fisher Scientific / FEI NanoLab 450 F 1 is a dual-beam FIB-SEM (Focused Ion Beam - Scanning Electron Microscope) system.[1]

How it works

A rotary probe shaft (part number 1002428) and EasyLift Nanomanipulator enable in situ sample manipulation, such as lift-out for transmission electron microscopy sample preparation.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

FIB-SEM systems are used for sample preparation, cross-sectioning, and in situ analysis, commonly positioned after wafer fabrication or failure analysis to examine device structures.

Upstream processes include wafer thinning, defect localization, and mechanical cleaving; downstream analysis includes scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Additional applications include materials science characterization, nanoscale prototyping, and imaging of biological samples when prepared for vacuum.
