The FORMOSA end-station provided following techniques for users.

• 2D/3D scanning Laue diffraction
• Nano-beam X-ray Flourescence Mapping
• Nano-beam X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy/Imaging
• Projection X-ray Microscopy/Imaging (PXM)
• X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence
• In-situ SPM tetra-probes for electrical, optical, mechical and surface measurements
• On-line SEM system for quick sample positioning and probes navigation

The summary of techniques of FORMOSA as shown in below;

FORMOSA equipped with large area hybird pixel array (PAD) detector on the top of sample stage to collect Laue diffraction pattern. Combined with precise scanner, users can probing the variation of crystal or thin film to obtained a series of Laue patterns . After obtained the patterns, we can adopt specific software (ex. XMAS, LaueTools, LaueGo...etc) to analyize the patterns and extract useful information of crystal, such as phases, orientations, dislocation density, strain and stress.
