CIQTEK at M&M 2025: Advancing Our North American Electron Microscopy Journey

High-speed Fully Automated Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope Workstation   CIQTEK HEM6000 facilities technologies such as the high-brightness large-beam current electron gun, high-speed electron beam deflection system, high-voltage sample stage deceleration, dynamic optical axis, and immersion electromagnetic & electrostatic combo objective lens to achieve high-speed image acquisition whilst ensuring nano-scale resolution. The automated operation process is designed for applications such as a more efficient and smarter large-area high-resolution imaging workflow. Its imaging speed is over five times faster than that of a conventional field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).

Ultra-High Resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM)   The CIQTEK SEM5000X is an ultra-high resolution FESEM with optimized electron optics column design, reducing overall aberrations by 30%, achieving ultra-high resolution of 0.6 nm@15 kV and 1.0 nm@1 kV. Its high resolution and stability make it advantageous in advanced nano-structural materials research, as well as the development and manufacturing of high-technology node semiconductor IC chips.

Ga+ Focused Ion Beam Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope   The CIQTEK DB550 Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) has a focused ion beam column for nano-analysis and specimen preparation. It utilizes “super tunnel” electron optics technology, low aberration, and non-magnetic objective design, and has the “low voltage, high resolution” feature to ensure its nanoscale analytical capabilities.   The ion columns facilitate a Ga+ liquid metal ion source with highly stable and high-quality ion beams to ensure nanofabrication capabilities. The DB550 is an all-in-one nano-analysis and fabrication workstation with an integrated nano-manipulator, gas injection system, and user-friendly GUI software.

Ultra High-Resolution Tungsten Filament Scanning Electron Microscope   The CIQTEK SEM3300 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) incorporates technologies such as "Super-Tunnel" electron optics, inlens electron detectors, and electrostatic & electromagnetic compound objective lens. By applying these technologies to the tungsten filament microscope, the long-standing resolution limit of such SEM is surpassed, enabling the tungsten filament SEM to perform low-voltage analysis tasks previously only achievable with field emission SEMs.
