摘要: The present invention refers to a method for improving a Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction, TKD pattern, wherein the method comprises the steps of: Detecting a TKD pattern (20b) of a sample (12) in an electron microscope (60) comprising at least one active electron lens (61) focussing an electron beam (80) in z-direction on a sample (12) positioned in distance D below the electron lens (61), the detected TKD (20b) pattern comprising a plurality of image points xD, yD and mapping each of the detected image points xD, yD to an image point of an improved TKD pattern (20a) with the coordinates x0, y0 by using and inverting generalized terms of the form xD=γ*A+(1−γ)*B and yD=γ*C+(1−γ)*D wherein γ = Z D with Z being an extension in the z-direction of a cylindrically symmetric magnetic field BZ of the electron lens (61), and wherein A, B, C, D are trigonometric expressions depending on the coordinates x0, y0, with B and D defining a rotation around a symmetry axis of the magnetic field BZ, and with A and C defining a combined rotation and contraction operation with respect to the symmetry axis of the magnetic field BZ. The invention further relates to a measurement system, computer program and computer-readable medium for carrying out the method of the invention.

摘要: A method for improving the quality/integrity of an EBSD/TKD map, wherein each data point is assigned to a corresponding grid point of a sample grid and represents crystal information based on a Kikuchi pattern detected for the grid point; comprising determining a defective data point of the EBSD/TKD map and a plurality of non-defective neighboring data points, comparing the position of Kikuchi bands of a Kikuchi pattern detected for a grid point corresponding to the defective data point with the positions of bands in at least one simulated Kikuchi pattern corresponding to crystal information of the neighboring data points and assigning the defective data point the crystal information of one of the plurality of neighboring data point based on the comparison.

摘要: The present invention refers to a proximity sensor for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) systems, particularly, a proximity sensor for collision avoidance between an EBSD sensor of an EBSD system and a stage of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with the EBSD system, and a corresponding method for proximity monitoring. The proximity sensor comprises emitter(s) to provide a light beam or light curtain which is basically directed parallel to an active area of the EBSD sensor and transmitted across the active area of the EBSD sensor at a distance selected as an alerting distance for the proximity sensor during collision monitoring; and receiver(s) located opposite to the emitter with respect to the active area of the EBSD sensor, configured to detect the light beam or light curtain and to provide a signal corresponding to the intensity of the light beam or light curtain for collision monitoring.

摘要: A pixelated sensor comprises a semiconductor substrate chip with a plurality of sensor pixels and a detector chip with a plurality of detector pixels. Each of the sensor pixels is configured as a photodiode and is electrically connected to an input node of one of the detector pixels. The detector pixels are further configured to convert and output the sensor input to an analog to digital converter. The detector chip further comprises first and second macropixels and a plurality of second macropixels, wherein each first macropixel is formed by subset of detector pixels switchably interconnected via a first conducting grid and wherein each second macropixel is formed by a subset of first macropixels switchably interconnected via a second conducting grid.
