Strategies for Low Accelerating Voltage X-ray Microanalysis of Sub-Micrometer Features with the FE-EPMA
X-ray microanalyses of sub-micrometer features require that a lower accelerating voltage be used. This reduction in the accelerating voltage reduces the penetrating distance of the beam electrons and thereby reduces the analytical volume. Two general strategies have been proposed for achieving the smallest analytical volume. The first approach involves significantly reducing the accelerating vo...
متن کاملLow-voltage electron-probe microanalysis of Fe-Si compounds using soft X-rays.
Conventional electron-probe microanalysis has an X-ray analytical spatial resolution on the order of 1-4 μm width/depth. Many of the naturally occurring Fe-Si compounds analyzed in this study are smaller than 1 μm in size, requiring the use of lower accelerating potentials and nonstandard X-ray lines for analysis. Problems with the use of low-energy X-ray lines (soft X-rays) of iron for quantit...
متن کاملBarriers to Quantitative Electron Probe X-Ray Microanalysis for Low Voltage Scanning Electron Microscopy
Low voltage x-ray microanalysis, defined as being performed with an incident beam energy ≤5 keV, can achieve spatial resolution, laterally and in depth, of 100 nm or less, depending on the exact selection of beam energy and the composition of the target. The shallow depth of beam penetration, with the consequent short path length for x-ray absorption, and the low overvoltage, the ratio of beam ...
متن کاملACCURACY, REPRODUCIBILITY AND SCOPE FOR X-RAY MICROANALYSIS WITH Si(Li) DETECTORS
The current state of the art for x-ray microanalysis is discussed with particular reference to accuracy and limits of detection, corrections for peak overlap and use of "windowless" detectors . It is now about ten years since reports appeared in the literature claiming that Si(Li) spectrometers (EDS) could be used for routine electron microprobe x-ray analysis giving results with accuracy compa...
متن کاملThe new X-ray mapping: X-ray spectrum imaging above 100 kHz output count rate with the silicon drift detector.
Electron-excited X-ray mapping is a key operational mode of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The popularity of X-ray mapping persists despite the significant time penalty due to the relatively low output count rates, typically less than 25 kHz, that can be processed with the conventional EDS. The silicon drift detector (SDD) uses t...
