Used PHILIPS / FEI Strata 400S #9191984 for sale

PHILIPS / FEI Strata 400S is an advanced, computer-controlled ion milling equipment used for precise dicing or thinning of silicon and other advanced materials. This system is efficiently able to process wide range of high value materials, including III-V, SiGe, and low dielectric constant photoresist. FEI Strata 400S unit is able to maintain an accuracy of 5um with a superior uniformity across the entire sample. Ion milling involves a physical process in which gaseous ions bombard the sample and "etch" away the material at a precise rate controlled by the user. In PHILIPS STRATA400S machine, the sample is placed on a sample holder which is connected to a standard vacuum tool, allowing the user to precisely control the atmosphere surrounding the sample. The sample holder is then placed into a dedicated chamber for ion milling. Inside the chamber, an electron gun creates a high energy ion beam which impinges on the sample. The ion beam is horizontally scanned by a series of solenoids, providing greater uniformity across the sample. FEI STRATA400S asset can process the sample in an array of different modes, including fixed beam dicing, variable beam dicing, and continuous dose thinning. Depending on the desired effect, the user can set the ion beam current, geometrical parameters (like beam size, pattern shape, and scan speed), gas parameters (likeflow rate and temperature), and tunable pressure. Once the parameters are set, the machine begins the ion milling process, providing precise and uniform thinning down to 10nm in most materials. The intuitive graphical user interface allows the user to easily control, modify, and monitor the process with a few clicks. The monitor displays the process status and provides real-time visualizations of the progress, ensuring that the desired effect is achieved. Along with his, STRATA400S model is also capable of surface polishing and smoothing. It can provide an effective dielectric etch that reduces molecular embedding, resulting in lower capacitance and improved signal behavior on high-density boards. This equipment also offers a high throughput, routinely producing more than 2,000 wafers in a single run. Overall, PHILIPS Strata 400S system is a reliable, efficient, and accurate ion milling unit used for precise thinning of silicon and other advanced materials. It provides superior accuracy and uniformity, ensuring that the user achieves the desired effect with minimal fuss.
