Short Description
The field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) can image both organic and inorganic sample structures with high resolution. The charge compensation system of the microscope also allows the imaging of non-conductive samples without the need for conductive coating beforehand.
The FE-SEM provides a variety of analytical possibilities such as secondary and backscattered electron imaging, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, cathodoluminescence, micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, the electron-beam induced current method, and possibilities for integrated micro conductivity measurement.

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
Phase identification:
• Representation of crystallite orientation in a microstructure
• Analysis of grain boundaries, sample morphologies and higher-dimensional defects
• Analysis of local heterogeneity and chemical material discrimination
• Imaging of micro-strain
• Measurement of electrical properties at the micrometer range
• Nanomanipulation
• In-situ lifting device
The device is used for high-resolution physical and chemical characterization of solid surfaces, as well as micro- and nano-structures. Typical applications can be found in the
• Characterization of semiconductor structures
• Investigation of optoelectronic materials in connection with nitride semiconductor coatings, nanostructures and heterostructures up to nanostructure oxides (ZnO, ZrO2, Y3Al5O12), indium phosphide and materials with rare earth elements
• Characterization of phosphors and materials for photovoltaic applications
