Imaging ultra thin layers with helium ion microscopy: Utilizing the channeling contrast mechanism

Background: Helium ion microscopy is a new high-performance alternative to classical scanning electron microscopy. It provides superior resolution and high surface sensitivity by using secondary electrons.Results: We report on a new contrast mechanism that extends the high surface sensitivity that i...
