This unique approach is achieved by permitting video conferencing between you (our customers), the ion beam microscope image output itself, and our engineer performing the work. Made possible by using our in-house developed LiveFIBTM capability.

You can see your device during calibration and intervention while discussing the process and design features in real time with the operator, and to consult on the process as it develops – solving any potentially time consuming issues, as they arise. “This ‘LiveFIB’ service enables designers to verify that the FIB modifications are being performed at the correct location and that the specified changes are correct… was viewed as a success by all involved” stated Richard Clark of Nanotech Semiconductor.

Advantages of this new service
? greater control ? all your office resources (design tools) are available to support the process ? cost/time savings ? quickly visualise & solve complex unforeseen issues–on the ‘live’ image
? more comfort for you ? greater intimacy with the process/technique (knowledge/training) ? no need to fly or drive to our lab ? AND - almost no documentation required

NanoScope has pioneered successful strategies to extend FIB, SEM and TEM capabilities since we started – now we’ve put a FIB on your desk and got rid of the job ‘overhead’ – isn’t that easier?
