PELCO Dimpler platen sets

Platens sets are designed for use with the PELCO Dimpler. There are two platen sets intended for 3mm standard disc samples, the Standard Platen Set, with the through-hole, and the Adjustable Platen Set. The through-hole allows inspection of the sample while backlit. This is very useful to determine when a hole forms in metal samples, or when a silicon cross-section or similar sample has become thin. The adjustable base provides a crosshair for easy sample positioning, and is cross-compatible with Lapping Fixtures, allowing the sample to be efficiently thinned and flat polished prior to dimpling without having to demount it.

The Large Area Platen set is designed to work with the Large Area Tools for selective area polishing applications such as semiconductor delayering and deprocessing. It may also be useful anywhere a larger specimen or area needs to be polished, or a shallower dimple is desired. The set consists of the Large Area Platen and the Large Area Magnetic base. The platen is 25mm in diameter and flat, to allow easy mounting of large flat samples such as electronic chips or dies up to 22 x 22mm. Larger samples can be accommodated as long as they are sufficiently rigid.

The Standard Platen may also be used for X-Y stage alignment in combination with the 3i tool supplied with the Dimpler.

A new addition to the Dimpler Platen lineup is a variant of the large area platen that accommodates 25.4mm pin stub mounts, allowing for easy transfer between the Dimpler and the SEM. It accepts 6mm pin stub mounts, which are securely held in place with dual set screws. A pin stub and hex key are included with the mount.
