Modeling for Quantitative Scanning Electron Microscopy

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used for metrology of nanometer-scale features in semi-conductor electronics applications and for emerging nanotechnologies. SEM signals include secondary- and backscattered-electron yields. They are determined by the interaction between the instrument (beam energy, beam shape, detector characteristics) and the sample (its materials, topography, …). Misinterpretation of signals results in errors that are important for nanometrology. These must be understood and corrected to obtain sufficient...

Grantor Contact InformationJohn S. Villarrubia, Phone: 301.975.3958Grantor Emailjohn.villarrubia@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
