Biological specimens of cells and tissues generally are considerably thicker than ideal for high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Actual image resolution achieved is limited by chromatic aberration in the image forming electron lenses combined with significant energy loss in the electron beam due to inelastic scattering in the specimen. Increased accelerating voltages (HVEM, IVEM) have been used to reduce the adverse effects of chromatic aberration by decreasing the electron scattering cross-section of the elements in the specimen and by increasing the incident electron energy.

AbstractApplication of transmission electron microscopy on sub-half micron devices has been illustrated in terms of process evaluation and failure analysis. For process evaluation, it is emphasized that a large number of features need to be examined in order to have reliable conclusions about the processes, while for failure analysis, the goal is to pin-point a single process step causing failure or a single source introducing the particle defect.
