Hydrogen-enhanced fatigue crack growth in a single-edge notched tensile specimen under in-situ hydrogen charging inside an environmental scanning electron microscope
ABSTRACT: Fatigue crack growth (FCG) test was done on a pre-cracked single-edge notched tensile (SENT) specimen with oligocrystalline ferritic structure. Innovative in-situ hydrogen (H)- charging by plasma inside an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM)...
Hydrogen and deuterium charging of lifted-out specimens for atom probe tomography
ABSTRACT: Hydrogen embrittlement can cause a dramatic deterioration of the mechanical properties of high-strength metallic materials. Despite decades of experimental and modelling studies, the exact underlying mechanisms behind hydrogen embrittlement remain elusive....
Tungsten Probe Tip Cleaning
J. Saujauddin, T. Niemi, T. Lundquist, B. Niu, M. Cable ABSTRACT: anoprobing has become indispensable for the characterization of FEOL processes and FinFET performance in early process development and HVM yield improvements [1- 3]. When the processes and transistor...
Plasma Cleaning with Alternate Gases
Ronald Vane, Ewa Kosmowska and Michael Cable ABSTRACT: The Evactron remote plasma cleaner was introduced in 1999 for cleaning SEM chambers and stages with air flowing through a hollow cathode RF plasma that produces oxygen radicals for chemical etching. Since the...Upcoming Events
