Abstract
In this paper we discuss the state-of-the-art of off-axis electron holography today. We introduce the method and illustrate how it can be used for the measurements of dopants and polarization potentials in a range of different semiconductor materials. We then demonstrate how it can be used to measure the magnetic fields around technologically relevant materials for spintronics. Within this work we also demonstrate the use of off-axis electron holography during in-situ electrical biasing experiments for the study of micro-LED devices and in-situ annealing for the case of MRAM devices. We discuss when holography can and cannot be successfully applied and demonstrate clearly that it is a useful tool that can be used for routine analysis in the semiconductor industry.
本文讨论了当今离轴电子全息技术的最新发展。我们介绍了该方法,并说明了它如何用于测量一系列不同半导体材料中的掺杂物和极化电位。然后,我们演示了如何使用该方法测量自旋电子技术相关材料周围的磁场。在这项工作中,我们还演示了在研究微型 LED 设备的原位电偏压实验和 MRAM 设备的原位退火实验中使用离轴电子全息技术。我们讨论了什么情况下可以成功应用全息技术,什么情况下不可以,并清楚地证明了全息技术是一种可用于半导体行业常规分析的有用工具。
