Low noise STEBIC on low resistive samples

Friday, October 9, 2026
10:50 (America/North_Dakota/Center)

Our talk at ISTFA 2026 presents a novel solution for low-noise STEM EBIC measurements on low-resistive samples. While STEM EBIC offers direct access to internal electric fields and device parameters like minority carrier diffusion length and depletion region width, sample preparation is challenging. Structural defects (amorphous layers, metal redeposition, ion implantation) create parasitic resistances that increase low-frequency noise in STEM EBIC measurements. Our novel preamplifier module enables reliable measurements even on lamellae with low parallel resistance, reducing time-consuming iterative preparation and minimizing overall effort.
