Allalin Platform Now Features Advanced Nanoprobing with Imina Technologies

We are excited to present a new nanoprobing option on the Allalin Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)-Spectroscopic platform. This option was developed in collaboration with Imina Technologies’ team, experts in integrating electrical probing solutions into optical and electron microscopes and other analytical tools.

Allalin platform includes a wide range of analytical SEM tools like Cathodoluminescence (CL), Photoluminescence (PL), Time-Resolved CL and PL, and Electron-Beam-Induced Current (EBIC) analyses. The newly introduced nanoprobing solution expands these capabilities by adding electrical characterization, actuation and nanomanipulation on scales as low as just a few nanometres.

Compact and robust, Imina Technologies’ miBots™ integrate seamlessly into the Allalin platform thanks to the clearance between the sample and the pole piece, as well as to the unique optical collection system integrated into the SEM column. As a result, the quality and speed of SEM and CL scanning are as high as in all Allalin systems.

The first Allalin-miBots™ platform was successfully installed at Prof. Choi’s Laboratory at the University of Hong Kong. This unique implementation will allow the team to perform simultaneous in-situ SEM, Cathodoluminescence and electrical device characterization for a deeper understanding of semiconductor materials properties.

“We are very proud of delivering this one-of-a-kind solution, and it was an excellent experience to collaborate with Attolight. Allalin with integrated miBots is designed to offer deeper insights into fundamental properties of various materials, and I am sure it will help to propel materials science and semiconductor research forward. I am looking forward to the first results and to deploying more of these advanced systems.” – says Guillaume Boetsch, co-founder of Imina Technologies.

“Imina Solutions is renowned for its high-quality nanoprobing technologies, and we are thrilled to introduce this new feature on our Allalin platform. Researchers will benefit from a unique implementation tailored for advanced semiconductor and materials studies. We are already receiving new orders for this integration and eagerly anticipate the first results,” says Nicolas Medard, Head of Analytical Sales at Attolight AG.
