What it is

The Hitachi S 4700 l is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) used for semiconductor metrology and inspection. The S 4700 l configuration includes no integrated energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX).[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A scanning electron microscope generates a focused beam of electrons that is raster-scanned across the surface of a sample. Electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, and other signals that are collected by detectors to form an image. The image reveals surface topography, composition, and other material properties at high magnification.
