SE Characteristics of Dielectrics Under Low-Energy Electron Beam Irradiation
To clarify secondary electron (SE) yield and current characteristics of dielectrics due to low-energy electron beam irradiation
we propose an electron scattering
trapping
transport and self-consistent numerical model by combining the Monte Carlo method and the finite difference method.By establishing an improved SE detection platform
we measure the emission SE current of dielectric samples.Results show that
comparing with the impulse electron beam irradiation
the SE yield will decrease evidently under the continuous electron beam irradiation.With irradiation
the SE current and yield reduce to a stable value gradually.Moreover
the SE yield varies slightly with electron beam current
but increases with the increase in the sample thickness.The results provide the theoretical guidance to improve the imaging quality and suppress the charging effect in modern scanning electron microscopy and a new thought for the parameter measurement of dielectrics according to SE characteristics.
