1 Electron Microscopy 3. SEM Image formation, detection, resolution, signal to noise ratio, interaction volume, contrasts 3-1 SEM is easy! Just focus and shoot "Photo"!!! Please comment this picture... Any idea what it might be??? 3-2
2 SEM is easy! Just focus and shoot "Photo"!!! Does this one sound more obvious? 3-3 SEM is easy! Just focus and shoot "Photo"!!! At least this one?? 3-4
3 Image formation 3-5 SEM, signals Backscattered electrons photons IR,UV,vis. inelastic elastic e-beam Secondary electrons X-rays Absorbed current, EBIC Auger electrons Secondary electrons (~0-30eV), SE Backscattered electrons (~evo), BSE Auger electrons Photons: visible, UV, IR, X-rays Phonons, Heating Absorbtion of incident electrons (EBIC-Current) 3-6
4 SEM imaging with electrons Energy spectrum of electrons leaving the sample SE BSE Auger electrons SE: secondary electrons 0-50eV BSE: backscattered electrons E>50eV 3-7 Electron detectors Photomultiplier Everhart-Thornley detector Collects and detects lower energy (<100eV) electrons: SEM backscattered electrons 3-8
5 Electron detectors semiconductor BSE semiconductor detector: a silicon diode with a p-n junction close to its surface collects the BSE (3.8eV/ehole pair) large collection angle slow (poor at TV frequency) some diodes are split in 2 or 4 quadrants to bring spatial BSE distribution info Detects higher energy (>5kV) electrons: SEM backscattered electrons 3-9 SEM, secondary electrons Electrons with low energy (0-50eV) leaving the sample surface Intensity depends on inclination of the surface topography 3-10
6 SEM, backscattered electrons Electrons with high energy (~Eo) backscattered from below the surface Intensity depends on density (atomic weight) ~composition Nb 3 Sn in Cu matrix 3-11 Some typical SEM Zeiss Ultra HR-SEM Resolution kv, kv, kv At CIME: Zeiss NVision40 (FIB) Magnification12-900,000x in SE mode Acceleration Voltage kv Probe Current4 pa - 10 na Standard Detectors: EsB Detector with filtering grid High efficiency In-lens SE Detector Everhart-Thornley Secondary Electron Detector 3-12
7 Resolution Gun and lens design define the smallest probe size = resolution..? Other parameters: Rayleigh criterium Screen resolution, pixel size (at low mag) Interaction volume (delocalization) Signal to noise ratio Smallest probe size 3-13 SEM: Limiting parameters on resolving power 1. High magnification The probe size (generation of SE1) r d probe 2. The volume of interaction (generation of SE2+SE3 from BSE) 3. Low magnification The screen (or recording media) pixel size d screen r d screen /magnification 3-14

11 SEM: "true" secondary electrons SE1 and "converted BSE" secondaries SE2+SE3 Different types of SE from SE1: incident probe SE2: BSE leaving the sample SE3: BSE hitting the surroundings although this signal is gathered around the probe, its intensity is only attributed to the pixel corresponding to the actual probe position (from L. Reimer, Scanning Electron Microscopy) x 0,y 0 intensity and delocalisation of SE stemming from the probe at x 0,y 0 (leading to the X 0,Y 0 pixel intensity on the image) The SE signal always contain a high resolution part (SE1 from the probe) and an average (low resolution) part from SE2+SE3! 3-21 Relative contribution of SE1 and SE2 (+SE3) vs primary energy total total total SE2 SE1 The total intensity (green+brown) is attributed to the (x,y) pixel, here at 0 nm on this 1-D model (adapted from D.C. Joy Hitachi News ) 3-22

14 Size and edge effects intensity profile on image Do not forget, in SEM: The signal is displayed at the probe position, not at the actual SE production position!!!

16 Change in secondary electron contrast with accelerating voltage (from L.Reimer, Image formation in the low-voltage SEM) 3-31 Contraste enhancement at low voltage: less delocalization by SE2. An example: a fracture in Ni-Cr alloy SE, 5 kv SE, 30 kv 3-32
17 Backscattered and secondary electrons BSE CeO 2 particles in a Na(Ce)La(MoO 4 ) 2 matrix are revealed by BSE even from slightly below the surface (blue circles). They also appear in the SE image thanks to the SE2 (produced by BSE). Small SiO 2, remaining from polishing, are light and nearly transparent to primary e -. They weakly backscatter but emit SE on all their surface and give the main contribution to SE signal.
