Application of Nondestructive Testing Techniques to Materials Testing.
Abstract
The aim of this work during the last year has been to carry out research on new types of optical microscopes which gives better resolution in both the transverse and range directions than standard high-quality optical microscopes. The reason for carrying out such studies is that there is a need for measurements of semiconductor profiles with submicron resolution. The scanning electro microscope has excellent transverse resolution, but poor range resolution; it must be used in a vacuum, and it can damage sensitive semiconductor materials. We have been working with new scanning optical microscope concepts which provide excellent range resolution, of the order of 10nm, less, and transverse resolutions of the order of 200nm, and with computer processing as good as 130nm.
