ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for determining the material composition of a semiconductor device at an area of interest are described. An electron time-of-flight spectrometer is used within a semiconductor inspection system. The spectrometer is placed on the opposite side of an objective lens from the area of interest. In one embodiment, the electron time-of-flight spectrometer is an electron drift tube. A computing module produces an electron emission spectrum for the materials at the area of interest.
