Secondary Electron Characteristics of Dielectrics with Buried Structures in SEM
The scanning electron microscopic contrast mechanism and secondary electron (SE) current characteristics are clarified for imaging a buried microstructure of the dielectric
by applying a self-consistent numerical model that incorporating electron scattering
trapping and transport.Simulation results show that
the trapped charges by trench interface can affect the space charges
spaces field and consequently SE current characteristics.With irradiation
the local electric field intensifies above the surface along z direction increase.Therefore
more SEs can return to the surface and result in the dark image.The image results in contrast exhibits the maximum value with the beam energy
but increases with the beam current.The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.
