Abstract
A specific example of a technique we developed to enhance the information obtained from SEM images is the extraction of an approximate profile corresponding to an electron beam with zero beam diameter from one with a finite beam diameter. Results were obtained for the simulated backscattered and secondary electron yields, respectively, from a 1 um step in a silicon substrate at 1 keV beam energy. Finer detail has been extracted from the original signal by this method, and allows for more information to be obtained about the target geometry.
