SITE SURVEY - Magnetic Fields, Vibrations and Acoustics

Pre-installation
Spicer Consulting offers a site survey service in Europe using the SC11 Analysis System. The standard survey provides data about a proposed site for equipment such as a Scanning Electron Microscope. We measure magnetic fields and floor vibrations in X, Y and Z directions and acoustic levels in units appropriate for direct comparison with the environmental specifications of the equipment to be installed.

The latest high resolution TEMs on the market require low levels of magnetic field and magnetic field gradients along the entire column length. Spicer Consulting is uniquely able to offer surveys measuring ththe field simultaneously to obtain this gradient information for both DC and AC fields.

Trouble-shooting
If you are experiencing interference on existing SEM equipment, we can diagnose the cause and recommend solutions.

CONSULTANCY

Electron Beam Technology
Spicer Consulting offers world class expertise in the design, development and manufacture of electron beam lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. This includes subsystems such as electron beam columns & detectors, ultra-precision XY stages, electronics & computer control.

Custom Cancelling System Installation
Simple to use though the Spicer Consulting Cancelling systems are, sometimes the tool requirements or environment require a special installation. Spicer Consulting is able to model the magnetic fields the cables will produce and so design a custom layout.
