Microscopy Analysis and Material Characterization - Multimodal In Situ Electron Microscopy Platform for Correlative Electro-Thermal Characterization and Failure Analysis
Wednesday, November 19, 2025
Summary:
We present a correlative in situ characterization platform that enables simultaneous electro-thermal studies in both Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) using the same MEMS-based sample carrier. At the core of this system are functionalized MEMS devices—known as Nano-Chips—equipped with up to eight electrodes for precise and concurrent electrical biasing and localized heating of semiconductor samples under real-time operating conditions
