Abstract

We discuss an implementation of ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM), in which the metallic or metal–insulator “stack” of interest is formed directly over an avalanche p–n diode. This allows nanometer-resolution studies of hot-electron transport through technologically important device stacks with up to single electron sensitivity and >10 kHz measurement bandwidth when the avalanche diode is cooled to <200 K.
