Description

For the first time we demonstrate an ultrafast scanning electron (USEM) microscope with electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) capability. This novel technique allows for in-situ observation of depletion layers in fast semiconductor devices. We demonstrate micrometer spatial and picosecond temporal resolution on an avalanche photodiode. EBIC is a well established method in semiconductor analysis. Paired with a pump probe approach in a USEM the method provides a new tool for developing milimeter-wave electronics.
