Overview

The FEI Helios NanoLab 450 is a DualBeam™ system designed for imaging, analysis, and TEM sample preparation in semiconductor failure analysis labs. It is intended for advanced semiconductor labs that face various challenges, such as decreasing dimensions at sub 32-nm nodes, advanced packaging methods, and an increased number of samples that require TEM imaging. The Helios NanoLab series combines the Elstar electron column with UC technology for high-resolution and high-contrast imaging and the TomahawkTM ion column for quick and accurate sample cross-sectioning. The Helios NanoLab 450S is well-suited for high throughput and high-resolution S/TEM sample preparation, imaging, and analysis. Its unique FlipStage and in-situ STEM detector can switch from sample preparation to STEM imaging in seconds without breaking the vacuum or exposing the sample to the environment.
