Verfahren zur Erzeugung von Farbbildern von Oberflächen unter Verwendung des BasterelektronenaikroslcopesProcess for generating color images of surfaces using the baster electron microscope

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Farbbildern von Oberflächen fester Stoffe bei Verwendung des Rasterelektronenmikroskop·«. The invention relates to a method for producing color images of surfaces of solid substances when using the scanning electron microscope · «.

Bisher wurden Oberflächen von Materialien, die beim Auftreffen von Elektronen elektromagnetische Strahlung emittieren, mit Hilfe dieser Strahlung nur in der Weise mit de« Basterelektronenmikroskop untersucht, daß.die Intensität der gesamten Strahlung oder die Intensität der in einem einzigen herausgegriffenen Wellenlängenbereich existierenden Strahlung zur Modulation dea Elektronenstrahls der Bildröhre herangezogen wurde.So far, surfaces were made of materials when they hit Electromagnetic radiation emitted by electrons is examined with the aid of this radiation only in such a way that the intensity of the entire radiation is examined with the master electron microscope or the intensity of being singled out in a single Radiation existing in the range of wavelengths was used to modulate the electron beam of the picture tube.

Erfindung»gemäß wird vorgeschlagen, daß aus dem bei Elektronenbeschuß emittierten elektromagnetischen Spektrum die Intensität der Strahlung in drei begrenzten Vellenlängenbereichen gleichzeitig erfaßiyiind die diesen Intensitäten korrespondierendenAccording to the invention, it is proposed that from the electron bombardment emitted electromagnetic spectrum the intensity of radiation in three limited wavelength ranges at the same time record the corresponding intensities

elektrischen Signale zur Modulation der drei Elektronenstrahlen einer Dreistrahl-Farbbildröhre bzw. zur Steuerung der Gitter einer Einstrahl-Farbbildröhre verwendet werden. Die drei W'ellenlängenbereiche werden für den Fall, daß es sich um eine Emission im sichtbaren Spektralgebiet handelt;, beispielsweise so gewählt, daß sie den drei Spektralbereichen einer handelsüblichen Farbbildröhre entsprechen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich,.auf einem Farbbildschina ein vergrößertes Farbbild der zum Leuchten angeregten Oberfläch· der zu .untersuchenden Probe zu erhalten. Dieses vergrößerte Bild hat eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit dem Bild, das mitteile eines Lichtmikroskopes zu bekennen wäre, unterscheidet sich jedoch ganz wesentlich von diesem durch 1. die UiB mehr al· eine Größenordnung bessere Auflösung von Objektdetails (ca. 200 51 Punktauflösung bei den gegenwärtig handelsüblichen Rastermikroskopen) undelectrical signals can be used to modulate the three electron beams of a three-beam color picture tube or to control the grating of a single-beam color picture tube. In the event that the emission is in the visible spectral region, the three wavelength ranges are selected, for example, so that they correspond to the three spectral ranges of a commercially available color picture tube. In this way it is possible to obtain an enlarged color image of the surface of the sample to be examined which is excited to shine on a color image screen. This enlarged image bears a certain similarity to the image that would be reported by a light microscope, but differs from this very significantly in that 1. the UiB more than one order of magnitude better resolution of object details (approx. 200 51 point resolution with the currently commercially available Scanning microscopes) and

2v durch/ebenfalls um etwa zwei Größenordnungen bessere Schärfentiefe. 2v by / also about two orders of magnitude better depth of field.

Falls eine Emission in einem nicht sichtbaren Spektralgebiet auftritt, w&re ebenfalls durch geeignete Wahl von drei Wellenlängenbereichen die Abbildung in Form eines Farbbildes möglich, Jedoch würden die auftretenden Farben dann eben unsichtbaren Wellenlängen entsprechen.If an emission occurs in an invisible spectral region, this would also be possible through a suitable choice of three wavelength ranges the illustration in the form of a color picture is possible, however the occurring colors would then be invisible Correspond to wavelengths.

Geeignete Vorrichtungen für die Sammlung, Leitung, spektrale Aufspaltung und Intensität»messung der von der zu untersuchenden Probe emittierten elektromagnetischen Strahlung sind bekannt. Suitable devices for collection, conduction, spectral Splitting and intensity measurement of the one to be examined Electromagnetic radiation emitted by samples are known.

In der Zeichnung ist ·enematleoh ein Beispiel für das erfindungsgetB&a» Verfahren geseigt, und «war wenn ea «ich bei der emittierten elektromagnetischen Strahlung um Licht im sichtbaren und ultravioletten Spektralbereich handelt.In the drawing · enematleoh is an example of the invention. Proceedings prevailed, and when I was there I was at the emitted electromagnetic radiation is light in the visible and ultraviolet spectral range.

Über einen Lichtleiter 1 wird das von der Probe emittierte Licht zu den drei Detektoren 3at~ 3° und 3c gebracht. Diese Detektoren können z.B. Photovervielfacher sein. Vor den Detektoren sind Interferenzfilter 2a, 2b und 2c eingeschoben, die nur schmale Teile dee gesamten Emissionsspektrums durchlassen.The light emitted by the sample is brought to the three detectors 3 a t ~ 3 ° and 3 c via a light guide 1. These detectors can be photomultipliers, for example. Interference filters 2a, 2b and 2c are inserted in front of the detectors and only allow narrow parts of the entire emission spectrum to pass through.

Anstatt einer Farbbildröhre mit drei Elcktronenstrahlen ist es natürlich auch möglich, eine Ein.3trahl-Farbbildröhre zu Verwenden und die den Intensitäten entsprechenden elektrischen Signale zur Steuerung der dann vorhandenen Ablenkgitter zu verwenden. Instead of a color picture tube with three electron beams it is Of course, it is also possible to use a single-beam color picture tube and the electrical ones corresponding to the intensities To use signals to control the deflection grids then present.
