Details of the Pelcotec™ LMS-20

Pelcotec™ LMS-20 Low Magnification Calibration Standard

The Pelcotec™ LMS-20 Calibration Standard has been specifically designed for precise low magnification calibration and specimen stage calibration. Useful for large area particle analysis, GSR analysis, low magnification SEM applications, and LM applications with reflected light. Useful in the 5x to 1000x magnification range.

Specifications:

  • Total calibration area is 20 x 10mm with crossed lines and 0.01mm divisions
  • 75nm Cr lines on ultra-flat silicon substrate
  • Cross hairs showed at every 0.1mm with larger cross hairs at 0.5 and 1mm over the complete area
  • Serial number etched on each Pelcotec™ LMS-20 calibration standard
  • NIST traceable version is Pelcotec™ LMS-20T (batch level certificate provided)
  • Individually fully certified version is Pelcotec™ LMS-20C (individual certificate included)
  • Si die size is 22 x 11mm with a thickness of 675µm +/- 10µm, <100> orientation
  • Boron doped silicon wafer with a resistivity of 5-10 Ohm/cm
  • Available unmounted or mounted on SEM Specimen Mounts

To avoid contamination of test and calibration samples, we recommend storing these under vacuum. For the SEM pin mount, the #16179 PELCO® SEM Sample Stub Vacuum Desiccator would be ideal.

Also available for transmitted light microscopy as LMS-20G

silicon test specimen

Pelcotec™ G-1 Silicon Calibration Specimen - 1µm Pitch

Includes 1µm, 10µm and 100µm pitch

The Pelcotec™ G-1 calibration specimen with a 1µm pitch grid is very useful for magnification calibration or image distortion check in the 100x to 10,000x magnification range. Can be used for SEM, Auger, Sims, FIB, and LM (reflected light). Specimen may also be mounted directly on the Pelcotec™ G-1 which will give an accurate internal calibration in the image. Particularly useful when working with powders. Possible alternative for the SIRA calbration specimen (0.462µm pitch) which is no longer available.

The Pelcotec™ G-1 has the following specifications:

  • Total calibration area is 3 x 3mm with a 1µm pitch grid
  • Lines at 10um and 100um are thicker for easy orientation
  • Includes 1µm, 10µm and 100µm pitch
  • 300nm +/- 30nm deep line etched in ultraflat Si
  • Line width is 200nm at 1µm, 300nm at 10µm and 400nm at 100µm pitch lines
  • Precision is 1µm +/- 0.025µm with a perpendicularity better than 0.01°
  • Serial number etched on each Pelcotec™ G-1 calibration standard
  • NIST traceable version is Pelcotec™ G-1T
  • Individually fully certified version is Pelcotec™ G-1C
  • Si die size is 4 x 4mm with a thickness of 525µm +/-20µm, <100> orientation
  • Boron doped silicon wafer with a resistivity of 5-10 Ohm/cm
  • Available unmounted or mounted on SEM Specimen Mounts

To avoid contamination of test and calibration samples, we recommend storing these under vacuum. For the standard SEM pin mounts, the #16179 PELCO® SEM Sample Stub Vacuum Desiccator would be ideal.

silicon test specimen

Planotec Silicon Calibration Specimen - 10µm Pitch

Useful for magnification calibration or image distortion check in SEM and LM.

Single crystal silicon, 5 x 5mm. The squares repeat every 10µm (0.01mm). The dividing lines are about 1.9µm wide, formed by electron beam lithography. A broader marking line is written every 500µm (0.5mm) which is useful for light microscopy. Lines are etched, and approximately 300nm deep. Available unmounted or mounted on SEM specimen mounts. See information on mounts A-R. A certificate of calibration can be supplied for the Silicon Test Specimen at extra cost.

Many types of samples can be mounted directly onto the Silicon Test Specimen so that an internal calibration is obtained in the image.

Thickness: 675µm
Si crystal orientation: <100>
Wafer type: P-type/boron doped
Resistance: 1-30 Ohm/cm

To avoid contamination of test and calibration samples, we recommend storing these under vacuum. For the standard SEM pin mounts, the #16179 PELCO® SEM Sample Stub Vacuum Desiccator would be ideal.
