A wave optical calculation of the probe size of a low energy scanning electron microscope is presented. The resolution for the optimal aperture was computed and compared with results of standard approaches. The effect of deflection aberrations is also considered, and it was found to be critical for the landing energies below 5eV and fields of view larger than 100 x 100 μm2.
Two techniques for use with SIMION [1] are presented, boundary matching and genetic optimization. The first allows systems which were previously difficult or impossible to simulate in SIMION to be simulated with great accuracy. The second allows any system to be rapidly and robustly optimized using a parallelized genetic algorithm. Each method will be described along with examples of real world applications.
