Abstract
Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) is widely used within the semiconductor community for chemical analysis and identification of features observed in scanning electron microscopy images. While this technique provides valuable information for defect characterization, current commercially available detector technology suffers from poor energy resolving power and is thus prone to peak overlaps. The transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter detector developed at NIST provides a high-energy resolution alternative that dramatically increases the capability of SEM-EDX analysis.Proceedings Title
