Webinar Abstract

Watch our webinar recording for an in-depth exploration of Electron Channelling Contrast Imaging (ECCI), a powerful scanning electron microscopy technique that enables direct visualization of crystallographic defects in compound semiconductors. ECCI provides high-resolution, non-destructive insights into dislocations, stacking faults, and other structural imperfections that critically impact device performance.

This webinar will cover the principles behind ECCI, its advantages over conventional approaches, and practical applications in semiconductor research and manufacturing. Learn how this technique is transforming defect analysis for materials such as GaN, SiC, and other advanced compounds, paving the way for improved reliability and efficiency in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices.

What You'll Gain From the Webinar Recording:

  • Gain understanding about the ECCI technique
  • Discover how ECCI can help with defect detection
  • Hear from an expert researcher how this is being put into practice
