Active Pixel Sensors for Electron Microscopy P. Denes, JM Bussat – Engineering Division Z. Lee, V. Radmilovic – National Center for Electron Microscopy Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Thinned) silicon substrate Tepi Diode Transistor SiO2 Pixel Pitch epi silicon Monolithic CMOS Active Pixel Sensors are obvious for Transmission Electron Microscopy Why? Challenges Possibilities

Scanning EM <30 keV Secondary or backscattered electrons Analogous to metallurgical light microscope e– Gun Anode Condenser Lens and Aperture Scan coils Detector Objective Lens ##### Many kinds of microscopies, ex. 1 ##### Sample

Back-scattered electrons 20 keV e– 10 m Si At energies used for microscopy, electrons really scatter!

Transmission EM 100 - 400 keV Transparent (thin) sample e– Gun 100 - 400 keV Transparent (thin) sample Analogous to biological light microscope Anode Condenser Lenses Condenser Aperture Sample Objective Lens Apertures Magnification and Projection Detector

Energy vs. … Simple approximation: Pe(>) ~ (t) (Z2/A) / E22 Pi(>) ~ (t) (Z/A) / E22 Pi(>)/ Pe(>) = 1/Z A/Z ~2 for all elements Pe(>) ~ tZ / E2 Higher Z  more scattering Thinner samples or higher energies Biological samples: Z~6 – stain (e.g. UO2(CH3COO)2·2H2O) to increase contrast Materials: higher E, but displacement damage (e.g. ~150 keV in Si) 1 pA/nm2  6x1020 e–/cm2/s After Egerton

Traditional High-Performance EM Detectors sub-micron to few micron grains AgX + gelatin (emulsion) backing “Reuseable film” Scanned by laser Linear, eraseable photo-sensitive phosphor grains ~5 m Imaging plates – fuji for medical imaging

Traditional “Digital” EM Imaging Detector Phosphor Fiber Coupling CCD e Phosphor must be thin to minimize e multiple scattering Photons scatter Electrons scatter e CCD QE

The Problem 20 keV e– 100 keV e– 100 m Si 20 m Si 200 keV e– 300 keV e– 200 m Si 300 m Si

Lens-coupled CCD CCD Phosphor UCSD

“Direct detection in silicon” In the Past 10+ Years “Direct detection in silicon” Direct detection in CCDs – radiation damage Hybrid pixels Fan et al. - 1998 Faruqi et al. Medipix at 120 keV Pixel size ~ “blob” size CMOS APS

Why APS? 300 keV e SiO2 + metal Si epi 40 µm

Diffraction pattern from vermiculite An Example 525 x 525 25 m pixels 0.5 m CMOS from RAL Diffraction pattern from vermiculite Faruqi IWORID 2004

Pros and Cons “Digital” [Si] Film [or I.P.] Electronic Chemical “ideal” n(e–) = QE x n() Larger [smaller] pixels CCDs – 16 bits [APS – speed] Regular pattern – aliasing Better Film [or I.P.] Chemical non-linear – n  required to flip a grain; thermal fluctuations vs grain size; linear Smaller grains Locally, ~4 bits; [16 bits] Given by smallest grains, no aliasing Worse; [best – at low rate] Processing Linearity Resolution Dynamic range MTF MTF x S/N

Who Wins? “Silicon” Film Regular array of pixels pitch p Random collection of different grain sizes For now film grains smaller than silicon pixels Analog Digital

300 keV (Front-Illuminated) Some Thinning Helps 300 keV (Front-Illuminated) 8 mActive Active Active 50 µm Total Active 350 µm Total

Tests on 200CX at NCEM Assembly jig Plug Hybrid Modified GATAN bright field STEM detector housing at the bottom of the JEOL 200CX TEM

An Example Beamstop on 200CX (imaged at 200 keV) APS in 0.35 m 48x144 Film APS in 0.35 m 48x144 10 µm Pixels 24x72 20 µm Pixels 12x36 40 µm Pixels

Small Features Visible 200 keV ~20 m features visible with 10 m pixels PSF ~15 m (equiv. MTF at 40-50 mm-1 ~ 20% - not as good as film, but close*) S/N ~8.3  single e– sensitivity 25 m Si Film *Zuo 2000

vs. Prediction Central pixel uniformly illuminated at 200 keV PSF due to e– multiple scattering at 200 keV ~6 m Diffusion dominant

Next-generation materials microscope “Specifications” Next-generation materials microscope Parameter Spec. Units Comment Incident energy 100-300 keV Radiation hardness 300 images/day min. 105 images/day desired ~1 year lifetime e-/pixel/image 500 “imaging” 105 “diffraction” Elements 12002 pixels 200Å field-of-view with pixel size 0.5/3 Å PSF 25% (value at ½ Nyquist) Resolution N i.e. “shot noise limited” Full scale (given by frame rate) e-/pixel/s x frame rate Frame rate <10 ms Biology not so different, except desire to have  pixels

Challenges High S/N is desirable, but need to accommodate 100 (bio) 500 (materials) 105 (diffraction) primary e– per pixel per image (readout rate dependent) “Resolution” is not the issue (optics set field of view), just number of pixels Readout speed helps in all applications Radiation damage! Region of interest: 1 – few x M.I. From H. Spieler SEM TEM

Displacement damage not significant Ionizing dose not negligible Radiation Damage Displacement damage not significant Ionizing dose not negligible One image Peak dose per pixel for diffraction Average dose per pixel for imaging

Two 0.25 m CMOS Prototypes (2005) What We’ve Been Up To Two 0.25 m CMOS Prototypes (2005) 19 m pixels in-pixel CDS 6 m pixels Readout System on-chip digitizers 5 mm

Now in Fab 9 m pixels 512 x 512 Adjustable gain Same backend (digitizers and readout) Prototype for 2k x 2k

What This Achieves Unprecedented speed High DQE Visualize catalysis Reduce beam-induced motion of biological samples High DQE Good single e– sensitivity and good PSF DQE = 1 if variance of input signal faithfully transmitted Spatial resolution better than fiber-coupled phosphor + CCD Eventually approach film Uniformity and linearity Radiation hardness requirement not negligible Atomic resolution image of stacking faults in Gold
