Cross Sectioning of CuSn Connector of a Solar cell

30 Jan 2015

This application note demonstrates the use of the Leica EM TIC3X to view a cross section of a CuSn connector of a solar cell to see the layer structure and their interfaces. Ion beam slope cutting is a method suitable for creating flat cross sections of soft materials such as the CuSn connector.

EM TIC 3X Ion Beam Milling System

Leica Microsystems Europe

The Triple Ion Beam Cutter, EM TIC 3X allows production of cross sections of hard/soft, porous, heat sensitive, brittle and heterogeneous material for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Microstructure Analysis (EDS, WDS, Auger, EBSD) and, AFM investigations.

Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
