摘要
A compact nuclear microprobe system with a eutectic-alloy (AuSiBe) LMIS (liquid metal ion source) and integrated focusing optics in the accelerating column, having a maximum accelerating voltage of 200 kV, has been installed. A Be2+ microprobe at 300 keV has a minimum beam spot diameter of 80 nm at 47 pA. The microprobe could easily resolve miniaturized structures with a feature size of less than 1 mu m. Channeling contrast microscopy (CCM) analysis using the microprobe in localized implanted areas in Si could clearly indicate localized damage areas in a few min.
