Abstract

Electron microscopy has been one of the foremost tools for analysis of semiconducting materials and, in turn, benefits from the processing power provided by faster computers. As semiconductor devices become ever smaller and faster, the shrinking of components means that even single dopant or impurity atoms can significantly affect device performance. Thus the enhanced resolution, sensitivity and new techniques enabled by aberration correction should ensure that this relationship continues.
