SEMGLU – high vacuum compatible glue
Kleindiek SEMGLU is a unique high-vacuum compatible glue, ideal for micro and nano assembly experiments inside an SEM/FIB system. SEMGLU has been developed for use either outside or inside the microscope chamber yet only hardens when irradiated directly under the electron beam. It forms a strong bond with adhesive forces comparable to those obtained with epoxy-based glues. See the video below for a bonding test showing the strength of SEMGLU.
Using relatively low imaging currents the glue remains uncured – only when focussing the electron beam on a very small area of the glue does polymerisation begin.
