Fundamentals of electron energy-loss spectroscopy
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is an analytical technique that is based on inelastic scattering of fast electrons in a thin specimen. In a transmission electron microscope (TEM) it can provide structural and chemical information about a specimen, even down to atomic resolution. This review provides an overview of the physical basis and new developments and applications of EELS in scan...
متن کاملAnalysis of Gate Dielectric Stacks Using the Transmitting Boundary Method
We present simulations of tunneling current through layers of high-κ dielectrics using the Tsu-Esaki model and the quantum transmitting boundary method (QTBM) to estimate the transmission coefficient. In contrast to transfer-matrix based methods, which suffer from numerical instabilities due to rounding errors, the QTBM is numerically stable even for large stacks and is suitable for implementat...
متن کاملElectron energy-loss spectroscopy in the TEM
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is an analytical technique that measures the change in kinetic energy of electrons after they have interacted with a specimen. When carried out in a modern transmission electron microscope, EELS is capable of giving structural and chemical information about a solid, with a spatial resolution down to the atomic level in favourable cases. The energy resolu...
متن کاملImage simulation for electron energy loss spectroscopy.
Aberration correction of the probe forming optics of the scanning transmission electron microscope has allowed the probe-forming aperture to be increased in size, resulting in probes of the order of 1 A in diameter. The next generation of correctors promise even smaller probes. Improved spectrometer optics also offers the possibility of larger electron energy loss spectrometry detectors. The lo...
متن کاملNBTI Dependence on Dielectric Thickness in Ultra-scaled HfSiO Dielectric/ ALD-TiN Gate Stacks
NBTI of the HfSiOx/TiN gate stack is investigated as a function of the dielectric thickness. It is shown that as the thickness of the HfSiOx layer is reduced below 20Å, the NBTI mechanism approaches the mechanism that induces H-reaction diffusion. Conversely, for thicker HfSiOx dielectrics, a combination of H-reaction-diffusion and charge detrapping from the bulk HfSiOx contribute to NBTI.
