Abstract
This user's manual is a guide to the FORTRAN code MONSEL-I which is a Monte Carlo simulation of the transmitted and backscattered electron signals in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) associated with a line specimen with a trapezoidal cross section. The line is deposited on a multi-layer substrate. The primary purpose of the code is to determine the actual linewidth from measured SEM signals. However, it can be used for many other purposes such as transmission electron microscopy. Future extensions to model secondary electron signals and multiple lines are planned.Citation
