ELECTRON BEAM LITHOGRAPHY MODULE (XENOS XP G2) attached to JSM - 6390 SEM (JEOL)
ELECTRON BEAM LITHOGRAPHY MODULE (XENOS XP G2) can be attached to a conventional scanning electron microscope (in our case: SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE SEM JEOL JSM 6390) in order to extend its capabilities to perform advanced micro-and nanolithography on semiconductors or other materials. The XENOS XPG2 consists of a fast pattern generator in order to produce the deflection signal data for the patterns which are then written by the SEM, e-beam or FIB system, implementing writing schemes and shape primitives so as to take full benefit of limited deflection chain bandwidths. The system is supplied with user-friendly and application-based ECP design and control software. Firmware boot via USB also allows easy firmware updates as well as the implementation of new features without actual hardware changes or flash reprogramming.
