Si Apertures for Microscopy and Spectroscopy
Norcada Silicon Apertures feature through opening(s) within a silicon support frame. The Si Apertures are chemically polished to provide a sharp, clean knife edge around the aperture, making these units ideal substrates for materials characterization when zero-loss background and high resolution characterization are required. These devices are optimal as substrates for FIB lamellae support for TEM, thin film and wire mesh films, and nano- and micro-wire samples.
Si Apertures are designed to be universally used in a wide array of applications, and have a variety of features built into all standard devices:
- Zero-loss viewing areas for thin samples, High-Res STEM imaging, EDX elemental analysis and X-ray spectroscopy of nanomaterials and biological material
- Low resistivity Silicon Frames for charge and heat dissipation
- Single apertures or aperture arrays within one unit
- Cryo-compatible design and materials
- Plasma-compatible structures
Norcada also offers customization options, including:
- Customized frame and aperture sizes, including circular and non-symmetric shapes
- Surface spacers, electrodes, and metalized or passivated fiducial markers
- Open apertures as small as 5μm
- Optional electrical passivation
- Hydrophobic or hydrophilic surface coatings for enhanced material adhesion
- Delivered in MultiChip format
