題目:New Prospects of Aberration corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
内容の概要説明:
Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) enables the structural and chemical characterization of defect structures with sub-Ångström spatial resolution and single atom sensitivity. The reduced depth of field after aberration correction further provides depth sensitivity to obtain three-dimensional information of the sample [1].
Two prominent examples about the application of such techniques will be reported: the localization of single Hf atoms within a multilayered semiconductor device structure[2-4]; and the identification of interstitial point defect configurations in silicon [5]. For both applications, defect structures will be discussed in the framework of their influence on macroscopic properties.
During the final part of the presentation, in situ STEM techniques will be discussed that offer novel capabilities to characterize the evolution of atomic-scale defect structures under applied stress, such as heat, electrical fields and currents. First preliminary results will be reported, ranging from the dewetting of ultra-thin films on crystalline substrates, dielectric breakdown of CMOS devices, and pressure-less consolidation of ceramic powders.
