Point scattering detector

摘要

A beam analyzing system using a point scattering detector in conjunction with the standard secondary electron collector and imaging system of a scanning electron microscope. The detector consists of a sharp metal (preferably tungsten) tip located centrally in a biased aperture assembly mounted in the specimen stage. By scanning the image within the aperture and collecting the secondary electrons scattered from a controlled region of the tip, the electron beam intensity can be obtained and reconstructed on a display screen.
