Solve package-level failure challenges with Tescan SOLARIS X™ 2 Plasma FIB-SEM. Designed for today’s complex IC packaging, SOLARIS X™ 2 combines the Mistral™ Xe Plasma FIB column with Rocking Stage™, TRUE X-sectioning, and the Triglav™ UHR SEM to deliver deep, clean cross-sections and precise end-pointing.

  • Eliminate curtaining and ripple artifacts for reliable root-cause analysis

  • Locate subsurface cracks, voids, and delaminations with high-resolution SEM end-pointing

  • Prepare Ga+-free TEM lamellae efficiently, without contamination or loss of protection layers

  • Achieve consistent results across SiC, polyimide, glass, and advanced packaging materials

  • Boost productivity with automated alignments and high-current Xe+ beam milling

HOW Tescan SOLARIS X™ 2 SUPPORTS YOUR SEMICONDUCTOR ANALYSIS

Deliver Deep, Artifact-Free Cross Sections

Achieve clean, reliable results on complex IC packages using Rocking Stage™ and TRUE X-sectioning.

Pinpoint Subsurface Defects with Precision

Detect cracks, voids, and delaminations using Triglav™ UHR SEM end-pointing at the FIB-SEM coincidence point.

Prepare Ga+-Free TEM Lamellae Efficiently

Protect device integrity while producing high-quality, contamination-free lamellae with the Mistral™ Xe Plasma FIB column.

Cross-Section the Toughest Materials

Section SiC, polyimide, glass, and ceramics with uniform surfaces, free of curtaining and terrace artifacts.

Boost Throughput Across Workflows

Leverage 3.3 µA Xe+ beam currents and automated column alignments for faster, more consistent sample preparation.

Maintain Clarity at Every Scale

Resolve fine package details with Triglav™ UHR SEM imaging at accelerating voltages down to 500 eV.

Tescan TRUE X-SECTIONING™

CROSS SECTIONS WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Tescan TRUE X-sectioning™ gives you clean, reliable cross sections for package-level failure analysis. Precut silicon masks combined with optimized plasma FIB milling suppress ripple artifacts that would otherwise obscure critical features. When paired with Rocking Stage™, you also eliminate curtaining, achieving smooth, uniform surfaces, even in challenging materials like SiC, polyimide, and glass.

With TRUE X-sectioning™, you get cross sections you can trust for defect detection and high-resolution imaging. It streamlines your workflows and improves the consistency of your results.
