Online Tutorial: Training on Surface Morphology and Topography Techniques Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Online Tutorial: Training on Surface Morphology and Topography Techniques Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

To fill the ‘holiday’ period for the even semester 2019/2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Physics Study Program at Universitas Negeri Jakarta is holding an online tutorial entitled ‘Training on Surface Morphology and Topography Techniques Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Techniques’ which was held on:

Day/date: Wednesday, July 29, 2020

Time: 09.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m.

Platform: Zoom Virtual Meeting

This tutorial is basically third-year SEM training that is directly practiced in the laboratory. However, considering that the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet subsided, this year the training will be carried out online.

The speaker at this training was Dr. Iwan Sugihartono, M.Si moderated by Dr. Esmar Budi, M.T, both lecturers in physics at Universitas Negeri Jakarta. His field of research is materials experiments, especially those related to semiconductors and thin-layer deposition. In this colloquium, he explained the working principles of SEM and how to read the resulting output. The output obtained is then translated into physical quantities to obtain the desired physical interpretation.

This colloquium was attended by around 70 participants from lecturers, practitioners and students. Each participant will get a free e-certificate. This study received quite a lot of interest considering that SEM techniques are very much needed in the fields of science and engineering. After this colloquium, further studies on other techniques that are also frequently used in experiments will likely be held again. Yes, we are waiting for the good news
