Image simulation, as a means of image interpretation, has been an important component of high resolution transmission electron microscopy for many years. By contrast scanning electron microscopists have relied almost exclusively on simple visual analogies to understand the micrographs that they produce. However with the development of SEMs capable of near atomic levels of resolution, and with the requirement for accurate dimensional metrology of sub-micron features in semiconductor devices using the SEM, a more quantitative approach to image formation and analysis is needed.Image simulation in the SEM encounters several special problems. Firstly, the signal displayed to form the micrograph is not well defined in terms of either the contrast mechanisms which give rise to it, or the energy and origin of the electrons actually collected to produce the signal.

High Resolution Images

ABSTRACTHigh resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been used to study structures found in secondphase particles in commercial alumina compacts. Analytical electron microscopy has been used to identify elements present in the particles. Computer image simulation has been used for both the structural interpretation of high resolution images and predicting the effect which the presence of other elements would have on the observed structures.

Resolution Study

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
