Hs. Fresser et al., METAL-SEMICONDUCTOR-METAL STRUCTURES AS ELECTRON DETECTOR FOR 1 KV MICROCOLUMNS, Microelectronic engineering, 27(1-4), 1995, pp. 159-162
We have developed metal-semiconductor-metal structures for low energy
electron detection. Devices, with 250 nm wide Ti-fingers and 1.3 mum s
pacing, were fabricated using e-beam lithography on high resistivity S
i. An amplification of incident low energy electrons of up to 200 is d
emonstrated. This feature together with the planar geometry of the dev
ice should allow application in 1 kV microcolumns.
