EDS Analyses of Coated Li-ion Battery Cathode Particle

The capacitance retention of NCM cathode material of batteries (SSB and LIB) can be improved by coating structures. To control the performance of these nanometer-thick coatings, their elemental distribution must be known. We present a SEM-based solution of EDS analysis achieving nanometer resolution on micrometer-sized cathode particles with irregular surfaces and compare it to TEM EDS.

Quantification of the Pt Concentration in a NiSi(Pt)-NiSi2 Semiconductor Structure

This application example shows EDS data from the epitaxial growth of a Pt alloyed NiSi thin film and the quantification of a few at% of Pt alloyed in NiSi. NiSi is used for nm-sized metallization structures in semiconductor devices like MOSFETs.
Combined element maps of a layered system

Chemical Phase Analysis of a Layered Structure

It can be advantageous to check hyperspectral images for the existence of chemical phases without applying prior knowledge. Bruker’s ESPRIT AutoPhase automatically finds specimen regions of similar composition by analyzing a HyperMap based on Principle Component Analysis of the spectra. The sensitivity of this procedure can be adjusted. The approach is demonstrated using a multi-layer structure in cross-section as an example.

Chemical Composition of Semiconductor Interconnects

Standard energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS or EDX) using detector areas of 30mm2 on conventional scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) can deliver element mappings with nm resolution within a few minutes. The condition is, that the detector head is small enough (in slim-line design) to get as close to the specimen for (high solid angle) and as high above the specimen (for high take-off angle) as possible. The latter helps to avoid shadowing and absorption effects.
RAM microchip elemental distribution map

高分辨率的半导体内存映射麦克风rochip Using STEM-EDS in SEM (T-SEM)

Element distribution mapping of semiconductor nanostructures with X-ray based methods is not always straight forward. The need of nanoscale spatial resolution and X-ray peak overlaps are common challenges when investigating semiconductor materials. Sometimes it can be beneficial to use the SEM instead of expensive TEM tools and time for characterization.
