Used FEI / MICRION Vectra 986 #9145596 for sale

FEI / MICRION Vectra 986 is an ion milling equipment widely used in microscopy for thinning samples such as metals, semiconductors, and ceramics. The system consists of a chamber, two ion sources, a rotary feeder, and a precision stage and provides an effective and excellent substrate etching rate. It has a highly efficient source and capabilities for controlling the sputter rate, which helps to minimize time and cost per sample. FEI Vectra 986 is capable of producing very uniform surface structure, resulting in superior surface quality. It also offers processes such as back side milling, coating, and in-situ cleaning, and other options such as embedded contrast enhancing for enhanced image detail and fidelity. With the ion milling process, the sample substrate is bombarded with energetic ions that strip away the surface layer one atom at a time. This process can be easily controlled using the adjustable range of energy accelerations, allowing the user to precisely adjust the depth of the potential sample etch. This process is highly effective for substrate etching as it produces planes with gently sloping edges, allows the removal of large area with minimal distortion and permits fixed angle ion illumination of the sample surface. MICRION Vectra 986 is a highly reliable device due to its control and defect detection software. It utilizes various algorithms and mapping tools to detect inside and outside defects as well as characteristic features. Additionally, the unit is capable of extremely precise sampling due to the fact that it has been designed for low-voltage operation, meaning that it operates without the danger of arcing breakdown or accidental sample damage. Vectra 986 is an all-around excellent milling machine that provides improved material removal rates, highly accurate surfaces, and increased product yield. With its numerous automated controls and the option for in-situ imaging, it can be used in many process steps for research, development, and manufacturing sectors.
