Optical and SEM images of etched TSVs. Note the clean cleave with mirror finish. The long cleave enables inspection of many vias. SEM image at 10kV in SE mode.

Cleaving Photoresist
Photoresist, because it is soft, makes it difficult to cross section mechanically or with the FIB. The best solution is to cleave the sample and image it directly in the SEM. This makes the LatticeAx the perfect tool for sample preparation of photoresist cross sections. The resist structure is not changed in the process and […]
Downsizing die to fit your Prober or SEM or FIB sample holder
Downsize die to fit your Prober, SEM or FIB sample holder without any “cracking” risk Using the LatticeAx, a controlled, precise cleaving process was developed to downsize out-of-a-package samples repeatedly in <1-min. No skills required and no pre-prep. Single step for thin samples (‘out-of-a-package’ die or back-thinned samples): Using the LatticeAx’s microline indent to cleave, the […]
