Introduction

The EM-Tec MCS series magnification calibration standards are unique, cost effective, wide range SEM calibration standards. These fullly featured practical calibration standards can be used for magnification calibration or critical dimension measurements in table top SEM, standard SEM, FESEM, FIB, Auger, SIMS and reflected light microscope systems.

Two types of calibration ranges for the Em-Tec MCS calibration standards are offered, both standard with certificates traceability or optionally with an individual certificate of calibration:

  • EM-Tec MCS-1 with a scale ranging from 2.5mm to 1µm; ideal for table top and compact SEMs, covers 10x to 20,000x magnifications.
    We offer a traceable and a certified version
  • EM-Tec MCS-0.1 with a scale ranging from 2.5mm down to 100nm; ideal for SEM, FESEM and FIB systems, covers 10x to 200,000 magnifications.
    We offer a traceable and a certified version

The features on the EM-Tec MCS series are made using state of the art MEMS manufacturing techniques with high contrast chromium deposited lines for for the larger features and gold over chromium for the smaller features below 2.5µm The gold deposited ensure optimum signal to noise ratio for calibration purposes. Advantages of the EM-Tec MCS series are:

  • unprecedented precision over the full calibration range
  • all features in one single ultraflat plane
  • metal on silicon with excellent signal to noise ratio
  • wider range of features to accurately calibrate low, medium and high magnification ranges
  • compatible with both SE and BSE imaging
  • fully conductive materials
  • easy to convert feature sizes
  • can be cleaned with plasma cleaning
  • all NIST traceable or optionally certified

The EM-Tec MCS-0.1 calibration standard is an excellent replacement for the discontinued SIRA calibration standard (which was using only 0.51 and 0.463µm features) with added advantages. Compatible feature sizes for the SIRA standard are 50µm (5x10µm) and 0.5µm (500nm).
