Description

Calculation method for non-conductive ceramic material non-charge balance voltage
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of characterization of morphology and components of a scanning electron microscope of a non-conductive ceramic material, in particular to a non-charge balance voltage V of the non-conductive ceramic material1And V2The method of (3).
Background
Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) have many advantages such as high image resolution (3 nm-0.6 nm), large depth of field (10 times of that of an optical Electron Microscope), nondestructive analysis, simple sample preparation and the like. The sample can be a natural surface, a fracture, a block, a reflective and transparent light sheet and the like. Meanwhile, the information such as morphology, chemical composition, element distribution and the like can be comprehensively analyzed after accessories such as an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) are equipped, and the method becomes one of the most main means for material microstructure characterization.
However, for non-conductor materials, such as most ceramic materials, etc., the incident electrons of the scanning electron microscope form unstable electric fields on the surface and subsurface of the sample due to the accumulation of electric nuclei, so that a "discharge phenomenon" or a "charge phenomenon" occurs, and the morphology and component characterization results are seriously affected. Therefore, when the morphology and the energy spectrum component of the non-conductive ceramic material are analyzed, a layer of conductive C, Cr, Pt film and the like is generally evaporated on the surface of a sample to eliminate the charging phenomenon.
However, the coating method introduces foreign particles on the surface of the sample, and the particles cannot be observed under a scanning electron microscope by 10 ten thousand times, but are obviously shown in an image by more than 10 ten thousand times, so that the real microstructure of the material is hidden. Particularly, with the rapid development of the present nanoscience technology, more and more attention is paid to the details of the surface morphology of the material in the nanometer scale, and the microstructure characteristics of the material in the nanometer scale can be represented only under the magnification of 20 ten thousand times or even higher. Especially for microstructure details only a few nanometers in size, such as mesoporous materials, etc., will severely mask the surface details of the sample after coating. Specifically, fig. 5 shows the charge morphology of lutetium aluminum garnet laser ceramic (LuAG) under 5KV unbalanced voltage, and as shown in fig. 5, bright stripes in the image can be clearly seen, that is, severe charge accumulation is generated in the sample to be measured under electron beam irradiation.
Therefore, when such a non-conductive material is subjected to scanning electron microscopy for high-power morphology observation, the most adopted means, in addition to the method of depositing a conductive film, is to select a balance voltage (V) corresponding to the material1And V2) Direct observation is performed, in which case the number of incident electrons is equal to the sum of the generated secondary electrons and the backscattered electrons, so that the surface of the sample is charge balanced, eliminating the charging phenomenon.
At present, the main method adopted at home and abroad is to continuously adjust the incident voltage of a scanning electron microscope and determine V according to experience2The value is obtained. When the acceleration voltage is greater than V2Secondary electrons and back scattering generated on the surface of the sampleThe total sum of the emitted electrons is less than the number of the incident electrons, and the surface is in a negative potential, so that more secondary electrons are received by the detector, and the image is bright; when the acceleration voltage is at V1And V2In between, the sum of the secondary electrons and the back scattered electrons generated on the surface of the sample is more than the number of the incident electrons, and the surface has a positive potential, so that the number of the secondary electrons received by the detector is reduced, and the image is blackened. However, the subjectivity of qualitative adjustment according to the brightness of the image is high, and the scanning electron microscope parameters need to be repeatedly and continuously adjusted by an operator, so that the efficiency is low.

In the present invention, the counting points may converge in an obvious linear manner, and the fitted correlation coefficient after fitting is greater than 0.95; if the fitting correlation coefficient is less than 0.95, the current of the incident electron beam is increased or the acquisition time is prolonged.

The counting point intercepted at the tail end is larger than 100, and the counting point at the tail end is better linear without obvious dispersion. The upper limit of the count point intercept should at least ensure that the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.95 after linear fitting. And if the fitting correlation coefficient is below 0.95, increasing the electron beam current or prolonging the acquisition time.
