Clarity at Low Voltage

Confidence at Every Layer

From passive voltage contrast to nanoprobing and defect localization, GeminiSEM 560 delivers high-resolution imaging on the most challenging semiconductor materials, without compromising surface integrity.

7 nm SRAM array imaged with Z and topographical contrast. Subtle failures require real surface sensitivity.

The Problem Isn’t Finding the Defect

It’s Seeing It Clearly

In today’s semiconductor FA labs, surface sensitivity and material complexity are increasing faster than most imaging systems can handle.

Key challenges:

  • Shrinking feature sizes across 3D architectures
  • Beam-sensitive layers such as photoresists and low-k dielectrics
  • ESD-related damage and delamination in stacked devices
  • Need for non-destructive inspection at high contrast and low voltage

Every inaccurate scan increases turnaround time, jeopardizes yields, or leads to misdiagnosed failures.

Built to perform where other SEMs stall

especially at low voltage
