Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the sample inherent temperature on the line-scan profile for a silicon trapezoid line with different sidewall angles by Monte–Carlo simulation. This study demonstrates that the profile varies with temperature, particularly focusing on the ‘shoulder’, which becomes more pronounced with larger sidewall angles. The contrast of the secondary electron profile increases at low primary electron energy but decreases at relatively high PE energy as the temperature rises. The trend of the backscattering electron profile is similar but less noticeable. The underlying mechanism is discussed in detail. This study has potential to provide valuable insights into thermometry in nanostructures using SEMs.

通过蒙特卡洛模拟研究不同样品温度下梯形线的线扫描剖面。

本研究通过蒙特卡洛模拟，研究了不同侧壁角的硅梯形线的样品固有温度对线扫描剖面的影响。研究表明，线扫描剖面随温度的变化而变化，尤其是 "肩"，侧壁角越大，"肩 "越明显。二次电子剖面的对比度在一次电子能量较低时增大，但在 PE 能量相对较高时随着温度的升高而减小。反向散射电子剖面的趋势类似，但不那么明显。研究详细讨论了其基本机制。这项研究有望为利用扫描电子显微镜测量纳米结构的温度提供有价值的见解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
