Silicon is the most usual semiconductor material today, in addition, various combined semiconductor materials.  A significant investment of time and effort is requirement to dealing with such much materials and complex processes. Phenom SEM can meet requirements of diverse materials testing and complex process controlments, and providing simple, efficient, and accurate semiconductor testing solutions further more.

The properties of metals and alloys are determined by chemical composition, crystal structure, and microstructure. Phenom SEM can be applied to research on metal fracture failure, metallography, powder metallurgy, and inclusion analysis. It enables the observation of the microstructure of the surface and interior of metal materials, and establishes a correspondence among structure, element and property, in combination with EDS analysis.

The future development trends of lithium battery materials are expected to undergo changes once again. High-nickel ternary lithium batteries, which offer high energy density advantages, are becoming mainstream, while lithium iron phosphate batteries are making a strong comeback. Artificial graphite remains the predominant technology, but its growth potential is limited, and silicon-carbon materials are emerging as a new direction for development. Electrolytes are expected to reduce the use of organic solvents and gradually shift towards comprehensive solid-state solutions.

Life sciences, as a broad field, describe the scientific study of processes related to life, disease prevention and treatment, as well as genetic and environmental factors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as one of the important instruments in researching this field, allows us to understand possible changes and diseases by observing the structure of tissues or organs.

Polymeric materials are advancing towards high performance, multifunctionality, eco-friendliness, and intelligence. Sample preparation equipment such as ion milling systems, when paired with Phenom SEM, become powerful tools for studying the surface and internal morphology, composition, strength, wear resistance, chemical stability, corrosion resistance, degradability, biocompatibility, and other critical aspects of polymer materials.

SEM plays an important role in architecture, geology, humanities and other fields. Phenom SEM can perform morphological characterization and qualitative semi-quantitative component analysis of building materials, mineral ores, cultural relics and trace material evidence.

Functional materials are often composite materials with physical effects such as light, electricity, heat, and magnetism, and have complex structures and compositions. Phenom SEM, combined with a super-large sample chamber, can conduct static microscopic morphology observation and elemental analysis of functional materials. It can also be used with a tensile stage to conduct in-situ tension and compression tests to achieve dynamic microscopic morphology observation.
