Semiconductor E-beam Systems

Semiconductor metrology and inspection tools present unique demands for detection systems. The requirements for increasingly higher throughput and the growing need to extract information from inner layers continuously drive El-Mul to develop novel technologies that rise up to these challenges.

El-Mul has become the world leader in fast detection technologies. Utilizing our very fast scintillator – ScintiFast™, proprietary fast low-noise amplifiers and unique methods for segmentation of the extracted signal we offer the most advanced detection solutions in this field.

Combining ScintiFast™ with a fast light sensor and specially developed electronics our detection systems can operate at 1nsec/pixel scan rate.

Mass Spectrometry

El-Mul’s detection solutions for the Mass Spectrometry industry are creating new opportunities and technology paths.
El-Mul’s patented MTOF™ technology is a platform intended for Time of Flight systems. It brings advantages in signal collection efficiency and particularly in gain stability. Using a detection chain that includes an ion-to-electron convertor, ScintiFast™ as the electron sensor and a fast, sealed light sensor, MTOF systems have a winning combination of sub-nanosecond response, wide dynamic range and by far the longest life time available for detection systems in this field.

For systems which do not require a fast response, other designs are available. Such designs, which can operate with negative ions, positive ions or both, utilize traditional scintillators and PMT to ensure detector stability over extended periods, reducing the need for re-calibration and frequent maintenance.

Analytical SEM/STEM

From traditional Everhart-Thornley detectors, through a selection of solid-state detectors and culminating with complex in-column, energy filter BSE detectors, El-Mul has a vast experience in turning proprietary and generic technologies into fit-for-purpose, engineered modules suitable for a variety of imaging applications.

El-Mul’s offering includes the design and development of novel detectors as well as built-to-print manufacturing, supporting SEM, FIB, and STEM systems. Implementing technology platforms such as segmented detection and multi-mode ion/electron detection, El-Mul delivers "tailor-made" solutions for equipment manufacturers. El-Mul also offers PMT modules which complement the detection modules, either as separate modules or integrated products.

Leveraging El-Mul’s ScintiFast™ technology, El-Mul also offers a fast detection technology platform capable of supporting scan rates up to 1nsec/pixel.

Solutions

As leader in its field, El-Mul’s integrated detection solutions demonstrate its pioneering spirit. Our turn-key systems combine novel or traditional charged particle sensors, optical modules and electronics, all selected and optimized for each of our customer’s instrument requirements.

With an increased range of proprietary scintillators, newly developed electronics modules and close collaboration with several solid state, MCP and PMT manufacturers, we consistently meet the increasing challenges of detection in state-of-the-art instrumentation.

For each instrument and application, we push technology to the edge, increasing speed, collection efficiency and SNR or reducing the footprint and cost, always raising up to our customers’ challenges.
