Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sample stage, in particular to a scanning electron microscope sample stage which can be used for electron microscope observation and analysis of a single or multiple groups of sheet samples. Background Art

[0002] Scanning electron microscope is a surface microscopic analysis device that can perform high-resolution microscopic morphology observation. The combination of scanning electron microscope, spectrometer and energy spectrometer has developed into one of the indispensable means of material surface analysis. This method can detect the chemical composition of the surface while observing the surface morphology of the sample, especially in the detection of inclusions in the sample, surface and cross-sectional element distribution, etc. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and accuracy.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of research and development and large-scale production of thin film materials, semiconductors, and reinforced ultra-thin glass, microscopic analysis of the cross-sections of these materials has become an important means to guide research and development and monitor product quality. As we all know, before observing the sample, the sample needs to be fixed on the base of the scanning electron microscope sample stage. For these special samples, the sample is currently mainly fixed vertically on an object with a flat surface using conductive tape, and then the other side of the object perpendicular to the adhesive surface is fixed on the base of the sample stage. The defects of this method are obvious. First, it is easy to cause the sample to tilt, affecting the observation effect and the accuracy of detection and analysis; second, it consumes more conductive tape, resulting in an increase in testing costs; third, it is impossible to paste a large number of samples at one time, affecting the analysis efficiency.

[0004] In view of the above problems, various sample stages have been designed. For example, CN217009116U discloses a scanning electron microscope sample stage and a scanning electron microscope for observing sample cross-sections. Although it solves the problem that a sample stage can place multiple samples at the same time, it still fixes the samples by pasting, and cannot ensure the vertical placement of the samples and causes the problem of tape waste; CN209859910U discloses a scanning electron microscope sample stage for observing ultra-thin glass cross-sections. Although it cleverly solves the problem that the sample may tilt during the fixing process, the number of samples placed at a time is only one, and the detection efficiency is low.
