Witherspoon (2) 1) CrossRoads Scientific, El Granada, CA 94018, USA 2) ixrf Systems, Inc., Houston, TX 77059, USA International Microscopy Congress, September 5 th, Outline Why use XRF in the SEM? Low-power x-ray x microtubes External vs. re-entrant entrant designs Optics, collimation and shielding Performance characteristics MDLs Applications Quantitative analysis Point analysis & mapping IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 2 1
2 Why use XRF in the SEM? Better x-ray x sensitivity at energies >2 kev Improved peak-to to-background ratios EDS count rates are limited more counts in peaks with XRF vs. SEM (high backgrounds) Lower Minimum Detection Limits (MDLs) At higher energies (medium-high Z elements) Analysis in air possible Almost no specimen charging IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 3 Theoretical Comparison of XRF & SEM Sensitivities SEM-EDS EDS better <2 kev; XRF x 1000x sensitivity >5 kev IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 4 2
3 Some disadvantages of XRF Spatial resolution usually much worse microns vs. <2 microns for SEM-EDS EDS Sample imaging not possible X-ray mapping with stage usually slower than with electron beam Low energy sensitivities (<1-2 2 kev) are better for SEM-EDS EDS than XRF (w/eds) IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 5 Advantages of Integrated XRF Only one instrument required Smaller footprint in the lab SEM chambers typically have spare port Less expensive than two separate instruments Use common detector, electronics, stage, chamber, computer and software Use both techniques on same sample In situ analysis, without sample transfer IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 6 3
4 Modern Transmission-Target Target Tubes Thin film targets deposited on Be window Elements in the range Mo Ag, operating at ~30 kv, key parameters are: Mean electron energy range = ~ microns Integrated path length = ~2-3 3 microns Optimum thickness anode is ~ microns High-energy electrons are mostly stopped in target Self-absorption of low-energy X rays is limited Be window provides final electron barrier & heat conductor for electron energy transfer Typical Be window thickness is ~250 microns IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 7 fx TM Integrated fx TM Microtube Assembly Assembly ready for mounting on SEM Transmission-target tube with integral high-voltage transformer. Re-entrant entrant design allows close coupling of tube to sample. IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 8 4
5 fx Tube Mounted on Hitachi SEM Left picture shows fx mounted on Hitachi S3000 SEM Right diagram shows cross-section section diagram Note horizontal mounting in this example, requires vertical stage rotation fx design is re-entrant, entrant, with tube inside SEM IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 9 X-Ray Optics Enabling technology for microbeam XRF Simple apertures for beam collimation wide bandpass Curved mirrors low bandpass Curved crystals narrow bandpass Formed and graded multilayers rel. narrow bandpass Mono and Polycapillary lenses rel. wide bandpass True microbeams require microspot x-ray x tubes Spot size on tube target must be <100 micron (ideally <10) Obtain analytical spot sizes in the range micron Larger target spot sizes limited to use w/apertures for x-ray x beam sizes in the range ~ mm IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 10 5
6 fx Tube Optics Transmission-target tube Demountable collimator assembly Collimator assembly contains both front and back apertures Spectrum with and without an initial aperture in front of Be window 1st aperture restricts view to center of target, away from contamination regions 2nd aperture provides collimation of the beam at working distances of mm from the front aperture Total Counts Total Counts Typical Ag Tube Output Spectrum 35 kv, No pinhole aperture 5000 Ni Kα Cu Kα Fe Kα 2000 Ag Kα Ag Kβ Channel Number Typical Ag Tube Output Spectrum 35 kv, with 1.5 mm pinhole in front of window Ag Kα Ag Kβ Channel Number IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 11 fx Tube Optics - 2 Demountable collimator assembly Collimator assembly contains both front and back apertures 1st aperture (~1 mm) restricts view to target center, away from contamination regions 2nd aperture ( mm) provides beam collimation At working distances of mm from front aperture, beam size is ~2x aperture size High-purity materials provide contamination-free spectra Rear Aperture Sleeve Front Aperture Spring Retainer IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 12 6
7 X-Beam Polycapillary Optics Multiple total external reflection of X rays Large solid angle capture small focal point Performance gain vs. aperture is typically a factor of >100x under identical conditions Polycapillary provides broadband excitation with falloff at higher energies Courtesy of X-ray Optical Systems, Inc. IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 13 X-Beam for the SEM Tube is external to SEM chamber Distance offset by polycapillary optic Transports collimated beam of X rays to focal spot at sample. Beam at sample is typically microns in diameter Spot size is energy dependent. Integrated automatic shutter mechanism X rays can remain on for stability. Z adjustment, with XY interface flange adjustment, allows alignment of X-Beam X with e-beam. e Slide adjustment changes spot size. Operates at moderate power (50W) with fan cooling.

Analyze both and select concentrations from each? Many times can t t analyze all elements (not detected)! Fix elements from one analysis while doing other? Does not work - ratio of two element totals is unknown! Iteratively fix some concentrations while analyze others and do vice versa for the other method Difficult and painful, and may not work very well! Solution is do both analyses simultaneously IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 24 12
13 Combined SEM-XRF Analysis Standardless ZAF for SEM-EDS EDS k = c Z A Fc where, k = I/I p = intensity ratio to pure elt. and, I p = ƒ(p, (p,ω,r,q, )) can be calculated for each element on a relative basis. c is the weight fraction for each element Because absolute count rates are not calculated, assume that c i = 1. Standardless FP for XRF Similar set of equations (but different physics) IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 25 Combined SEM-XRF Analysis - Solution Use common equation c i = 1 Can t t normalize pure intensities Relationship between ZAF and FP not known. Solution is to normalize the k-ratiosk Done iteratively in the same loop as the concentration normalization. Partial sum done for each method (ZAF, FP). Total of two sums must be 1. Update concentration estimates for both ZAF and FP at the end of each iteration. IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 26 13
14 Combined SEM-XRF Analysis of AA 2014 Alloy Set both spectra to analyze same elements Choose XRF (FP) or SEM-EDS (ZAF) method for each element, or set to Automatic. Choose appropriate x-ray lines for each method IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 27 Compare ZAF, FP & Combined Analysis All AA 2014 analyses were done by a standardless method Quantitative method chosen automatically Based on Peak-to to- Background Error ratios Main source of quant error is the spectrum model for the fx tube Can reduce by using FP calibration for XRF Mg 0.45 Ka 1.02 Ka 1.45 Ka ZAF 0.48 Al Ka Ka Ka ZAF Si 0.89 Ka 0.46 Ka 1.21 Ka FP 0.85 Ti Ka 0.07 Ka Ka FP V Ka 0.01 Ka Ka ZAF Cr Ka 0.07 Ka Ka FP Mn 0.77 Ka 0.62 Ka 0.48 Ka ZAF 0.63 Fe 0.48 Ka 0.35 Ka 0.27 Ka ZAF 0.35 Ni 0.04 Ka 0.09 Ka 0.03 Ka FP 0.10 Cu 4.51 Ka 3.74 Ka 1.71 Ka FP 5.34 Zn Ka 0.05 Ka Ka FP Ga Ka 0.07 Ka Ka FP Zr La 0.04 Ka Ka FP Sn La 0.10 Ka Ka FP Pb Ma 0.04 La La FP Bi Ma 0.22 La 0.01 La FP Used automatically selected methods, except V, Mn and Fe changed to SEM spectrum method to avoid diffraction peaks in XRF spectrum IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 28 14

Long & small diameter of tube important for getting close coupling with sample. Low power (<5W) allows passive heat conduction no active cooling required. Sample analysis sizes from ~0.5 5 mm. IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 38 19
20 Summary 2 External X-Beam X w/optics X-Beam has side-window microbeam x-ray x tube and capillary optics Moderate-power (50W) use requires fan cooling. Polycapillary optic has wide energy range, but less efficient at higher & lower energies. Interlocked integrated shutter mechanism allows tube to remain on for stability. Use stage Z-axis Z and tube XY interface flange to align X-Beam to E-beam. E Typical performance of better than 50 x 90 micron (FWHM) beam at the sample, with 25x45 possible. XY stage scanning allows the acquisition of x-ray x maps and line scans. IMC-16, Sapporo, Japan 39 Conclusions Demonstrated integration of several x-ray x tubes with various SEMs. Advantage of XRF for trace analysis is complementary to SEM-EDS EDS analysis. XRF software added to typical EDS analysis package to allow separate or combined qualitative and quant analysis. Stage automation allows x-ray x chemical mapping using electron or x-ray x beams.
