Abstract

Observations of semiconductor superstructures with backscattered electrons in a scanning electron microscope have been used to revisit the concept of resolution of the backscattering imaging mode. It will be shown that the generation volume doesn’t represent in itself a limit to the resolution, which depends only on the beam size and the signal to noise ratio.
