“…Type‐2 SEs (so‐called SE2s that are produced by BSEs rather than directly by the primary electrons) have been used in (4) to image highly doped layers but generally reduce image contrast. The angular collection range of the SE detector, 3 trapped surface charges 9 and various surface effects, such as carbonaceous overlayers, 8,15 surface oxides, 9 subsurface damage due to mechanical tripod polishing, 5,14 chemical etching 11 and ion beam damage due to argon ion milling 16 or focused Ga + ion beam milling, 13 have all been identified previously to reduce the contrast relative to the best surface preparation available, which is by cleavage. So doping mapping will only become fully quantitative and reproducible in different laboratories once one uses calibrated test structures and also defines standard operation procedures for specimen handling, where cleavage is the preferred option for sphalerite semiconductors as it yields the highest contrast.…”
