Abstrakt: In many applications it is desirable to perform energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) on very thin samples at low primary beam energies in a STEM. Thin samples, or lamellae, with the thickness of about 10 nm, are mostly prepared in focused ion beam instruments (FIBs), and they are used to evaluate experiments in the development of thin films and coatings, in the semiconductor industry, and in other applications. EDS then provides a map of different chemical elements or compounds in the sample, obtained by scanning the electron beam in a raster. Often the qualitative composition is known as a limited set of materials and only their distribution on the sample is to be determined. For large batches of samples fast measurements are desired to maximize utilization of expensive equipment. In this study we found a method to minimize the time needed to reliably acquire an elemental map by determining the optimal detector placement and the minimal necessary primary electron dose per pixel.
