摘要
Modeling of critical dimensions scanning electron microscopy with sub-nanometer uncertainty is required to provide a metrics and to avoid yield loss in the processing of advanced CMOS technologies. In this paper, a new approach is proposed, which includes a new Monte Carlo scheme, a new Monte Carlo code, as well as the coupling with electrostatic fields to take into account self-charging effects.
