Abstract

At 300 ke V scanning transmission electron microscope was used to obtain tilt-series images of two two-level copper integrated circuit samples. The center-to-center layer spacing obtained from the tilt series showed internal consistency at the level of 15%, and external validity at the level of 20%.
