On-demand Webinar | Nanoscale Prototyping with Advanced SEM Capabilities

Turn your SEM into a nanofabrication powerhouse. Learn how researchers are patterning, depositing, and etching at the nanoscale–fast–using Tescan’s Nanoprototyping Toolbox and advanced SEM workflows.

Watch the Recording

Why watch on‑demand

Our guests show real projects–from gas sensors to plasmonic structures and transparent modified substrated for embryonal cell studies and share the tricks, tips, and pitfalls so you can reproduce the results in your own lab.

Runtime: ~60 minutes · Format: Talk + Live Q&A highlights 

What will you learn:

  • SEM for rapid prototyping: How we combine scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging  and patterning via  dose modulation, design alignment, and feature placement for reliable nanoscale patterning.

  • Large area patterning, minus the pain: Practical ways to handle field stitching and continuity when your structures are electrically simple (e.g., contacts, electrodes, heaters, sensitive areas).

  • FEBID deposition usecases: How to utilise SEM with an OptiGIS to create functional devices to help with your research.

  • Biological substrates, done right: Why embryonal cell favor certain pattern and how to prepare such substrates using standard SEM and stages with relaxed stitching tolerances, plus how to size features for optical inspection.

  • Plasmonics in the real world: Why fabricated gains can differ from simulation (material choice, post processing, thermal effects) and how to recover sharper, higher Q structures.

  • Upgrade path you can use now: Add the Nanoprototyping Toolbox to any Tescan Generation 4 microscope running Essence - including VEGA, MIRA, CLARA, and MAGNA.

Who should watch

professionals and researchers involved in nanotechnology, materials science, and advanced microscopy. It will be especially valuable for:

  • Nanofabrication and lithography researchers

  • Device physicists and sensor developers

  • Core facility managers seeking higher SEM utilization

  • Materials & bioengineering groups needing fast design build test cycles

  • Master’s and phd students, starting their research, trying to test their ideas as fast as possible

Agenda at a glance

  • From design to device: SEM patterning workflows

  • Patterning at scale: Managing alignment, field size, and stitching

  • Deposition & etch: FEBID tips for sharper features

  • Use cases: Gas sensors, transparent substrates for embryonal cells study, plasmonic devices, metalense optics, AFM tip modifications and magnetic research

  • Plasmonics in the real world: Why fabricated gains can differ from simulation (material choice, post processing, thermal effects) and how to recover sharper, higher Q structures.

  • Q&A highlights: Audience questions on purity, stitching accuracy, and more
