The Slice & View feature of FIB allows you to observe the spread from the starting point of plating defects, and the 3D construction enables confirmation of the shape of the defects.
The focused ion beam (FIB) device irradiates a focused ion beam onto a sample for processing and observation. Additionally, the FIB-SEM is equipped with a high-resolution FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope), which allows for simultaneous high-resolution observation and processing. This video demonstrates the observation of "plating defects" using the Slice & View and 3D construction functions of the FIB-SEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific: Helios5 CX). For more details, please watch the video.
