Achieving Nanometer Resolution EDS Analysis in an SEM

Technology note discusses details and caveats of nanometer scaled resolution STEM-EDS analysis The spatial resolution of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis is fundamentally limited by the interaction volume of the characteristic X-ray emission. Typical EDS analysis in an SEM is performed at relatively high energy (> 10 kV), leading to a huge interaction volume on... Read more
