EM-Tec SEM Resolution Test Standard


Introduction
     EM-Tec gold on carbon resolution standards
EM-Tec Au on C resolution standard 1, 5-200nm
 

Quality resolution standards are essential tools for obtaining optimum resolution, settings, beam size and astigmatism correction on SEM, CD-SEMs, FESEMs, FIB, Microprobe, Auger and SIMS systems. The industry standards are:

  • Gold particles on a carbon substrate
  • Tin spheres on a carbon substrate.

Gold particles on carbon have rich features and provide excellent signal strength for secondary electron (SE) imaging. They are equally suitable for low voltage backscatter electron (BSE) imaging. The nearly perfect round tin spheres have an easy to recognize shape and can be used where gold is not tolerated. Multiple particle sizes are offered for different imaging applications. The carbon substrates are all 6mm in diameter and 2mm in height.


EM-Tec gold on carbon resolution standards

The gold particles on the gold on carbon resolution test specimens provide relatively sharp features, dispersed individual particles and excellent contrast against the carbon substrate. There are 4 different sizes of EM-Tec gold on carbon resolution test specimens available:

EM-Tec tin on carbon resolution standards

Tin spheres on carbon provide an excellent test specimen to determine the resolution of SEM, FESEM, FIB, CD-SEM, Microprobe, Auger and SIMS systems. The nearly perfect round spheres in various sizes are especially suitable for determining image quality, brightness & contrast (grey levels), optimum probe size and astigmatism correction. Tin on carbon is used where gold on carbon is not allowed in the SEM. The shape of the round spheres are easy to recognize and easier to use than gold on carbon. However, the overall signal level is lower than that of gold on carbon test specimens. There are two sizes of tin spheres resolution calibration standards available:

  • EM-Tec 6 with Sn spheres ranging from 5nm – 30μm. This resolution standard covers a wide magnification range and is also useful for the medium and lower magnification range, starting at around 100x. Also useful at lower kV ranges due to the larger spheres. Start at lower magnification and zoom in on the smaller spheres at (much) higher magnifications.
  • EM-Tec 7 with Sn spheres ranging from 10-100nm. Excellent test specimen for high resolution SEMs and FESEMs with a nice smooth layer of Sn spheres. Use at 30,000x magnification or higher.

EM-Tec Au on C resolution standard 1, 5-200nm
EM-Tec Au on C resolution standard 1, 5-200nm Gold on carbon resolution test standard with gold particles on a carbon substrate. The gold particles size ranges from 5-200nm. The carbon substrate is 6mm diameter with 2mm height. Gold provides excellent SE signal whereas the dark carbon background separates the individual gold particles. Feature rich gold particles are ideal for resolution testing on standard SEMs. Use with a magnification of 15,000x or higher. Ideally suited to correct distortion, astigmatism and image shift and to adjust for correct focus, beam size, contrast and brightness. This resolution standard has a square mesh grid pattern to facilitate locating and positioning.
Available unmounted or mounted on the most popular SEM stubs. If you work with multiple SEM platforms, look at our SEM stub adapter page. The SEM stub adapters enable you to use a single resolution standard on all SEMs.
