Abstract (en)

[origin: US4514682A] An improved secondary electron spectrometer for measuring voltages occurring on a specimen, such as an integrated circuit chip, utilizing an electron probe has a grating structure for measuring the energy distribution of the secondary electrons independently of the angular distribution of the secondary electrons at the measuring point on the specimen. If the secondary electron spectrometer has an extraction electrode and a deceleration electrode, the grating structure is spherically symmetric.
