Abstract

See full text

A corrected scanning electron microscope (CSEM) and a method of operating the CSEM for selectively separating a material contrast from a topography contrast is presented. The microscope and the method enable high imaging resolution with backscattered electrons generated from low energy primary electrons. The CSEM and the method is applicable to mask repair and circuit editing processes with resolution requirements in the low nm range or even below.
