SEM-EDX analysis

EDX chemical spectrum

-The Hitachi S-4800 field emission scanning electron microscope features a maximum     resolution of 1.0 nm and a variable acceleration voltage of 0.5 - 30 kV.

-    SEM is used to inspect cross sections and parallel lapping samples.

-    A SEM / EDX Test is also used to inspect small SMT and other devices up to 100K magnification, -With the IXRF EDX we can determine what elements are present at a particular area of interest.   This evidence provides analysis that may lead to a root cause of a failure.
