In this webinar, Bruker nanoscale IR spectroscopy experts show how photothermal AFM-IR can identify the local chemistry of defects. With this detailed knowledge about chemistry, defect origins can be identified and eliminated.AFM-IR is a unique, automation-capable technique that reaches beyond the capabilities of bulk spectroscopy or nanoscale elemental analysis methods. It has redefined the boundaries of nanoscale characterization for the semiconductor manufacturing industry.Join us for this webinar to learn:<ul><li>What AFM-IR is and how it works</li><li>Which parts of the semiconductor manufacturing process could be improved using nanoscale chemical analysis</li><li>What level of automation can be achieved with Bruker’s AFM-IR systems</li></ul><h5>Webinar Abstract</h5><div>Semiconductor devices are an essential part of our modern world. Current challenges exist in reducing contamination on wafers and masks, refining existing deposition, etch and growth techniques and improving EUV lithography and photoresist processes. The ability to accurately characterize and measure these materials is critical to improving wafer yields and pushing towards smaller transistors and developing new packaging solutions. Elemental analytical techniques such as EDS/EELS have stepped up to meet the need for higher sensitivity and resolution, but lack chemical specificity in identifying organic materials. AFM-IR is up to the task to identify the origin and narrow down to one of the many processing/inspection steps during which defects may be introduced.AFM-IR (atomic force microscopy infrared spectroscopy) combines AFM’s high spatial resolution with IR spectroscopy’s chemical specificity, and has been used by many semiconductor companies to improve product outcomes. Bruker’s Dimension IconIR and Dimension IconIR300 systems work as multifunctional instruments for studying the nanoscale chemistry, along with electrical and mechanical properties of semiconductor devices on wafers up to 300 mm. Automation capabilities and the capability to import coordinates from KLARF allows for considerably higher throughput and the best cost of ownership for nanoscale IR imaging and spectroscopy.This webinar highlights AFM-IR's applications in defect identification, process control, and photoresist characterization, and its role in advancing 2D material research for the semiconductor industry. Join us to discover how AFM-IR is redefining the boundaries of nanoscale characterization, and the unique role it can play in semiconductor manufacturing, and how AFM-IR is being used to explore the future of semiconductor devices.</div><blockquote>Presenter: Dr. Qichi Hu (Senior Applications Scientist)Qichi is currently a Senior Staff Applications Scientist at Bruker Nano.

This session will highlight the advanced features of LDIR technology and its critical applications in analyzing microplastics within various matrices. 

With the growing number and diversity of microorganisms infecting humans and animals and 2024 data showing a rise in zoonotic diseases, accurate microbiological testing is vital for detecting foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, and technological strains.In a food veterinary laboratory, the identification and typing of pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria, and moulds are crucial for ensuring food safety and public health. This scientific panel focuses on advanced methodologies for detecting these microorganisms, including rapid techniques such as MALDI-TOF MS and FTIR-spectroscopy.Foodborne pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria, and moulds pose significant risks to public health, making their accurate identification and typing in food and veterinary laboratories essential. PCR, FTIR-spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF MS offer different approaches. MALDI-TOF MS identifies microorganisms based on their unique protein fingerprints, providing rapid and cost-effective results. This technique is particularly advantageous for data analysis up to species level, due to its speed, as it can deliver results within minutes once the organism is cultured.Key questions to be addressed in the panel include: Which is the recommended method for quick, broad-spectrum identification? Are MALDI-TOF MS and FTIR-spectroscopy effective tools for confirming Salmonella and Listeria? And can FTIR-spectroscopy deliver same-day identification and typing results once the organism is cultured?Furthermore, this panel will explore the latest advancements in pathogen confirmation from colony material, including new workflows for mould identification and the application of FTIR-spectroscopy for contamination root cause analysis. Attendees will also hear about new applications of FTIR-spectroscopy for faster, more accurate Salmonella and Listeria typing.&nbsp;Key learning points:<ul><li>New database content of MALDI-TOF MS</li><li>New workflow of confirmation and typing of Salmonella and Listeria by MALDI-TOF MS and FTIR-spectroscopy</li><li>New workflow for identification of moulds.</li></ul><div><blockquote>Presenter: Francis Muchaamba (Postdoc Researcher at Institute for Food Safety and Hygiene, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich )Currently Postdoc Researcher at University of Zurich.
