Abstract
Semi empirical model of image formation is proposed for scanning electron microscope (SEM) working in low and high voltage modes with registration of back scattered (BSE) and slow secondary (SSE) electrons. The model is based on analysis of experiments executed with a test object with trapezoidal profile and with large slope angles scanned in a SEM. The model is designated for application in virtual SEM.
