STEM-in-SEM: Introduction to Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy for Microelectronics Failure Analysis
STEM-in-SEM: Introduction to Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy for Microelectronics Failure Analysis

Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) are an essential tool for analyzing microelectronic failures. They reveal features over multiple length scales and can be used, with appropriate detectors, to examine grain size and orientation, compositional distributions, atomic contrast, and more.
