iFast (Integrated Fast Automation Software Technology) is a proprietary automation platform developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific, primarily for use in their DualBeam systems, which combine focused ion beams (FIB) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). It is designed to automate complex workflows in semiconductor failure analysis and materials science. iFast enables users to create scripts or workflows that control various aspects of the microscope, including sample navigation, data acquisition, imaging, and analysis. iFast helps automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, improving productivity and ensuring consistent and accurate results. It also allows for integration with other tools like Python and Machine Learning to further enhance automation and adapt the system to specific customer needs.
