  • Abstract
    A scheme which is predicted to increase the time resolution of electron beam testers by more than an order of magnitude to a value of around 400 fs is described. The new proposal is based on using multi-channel angular backscattered detection which can be used in conjunction with the normal operating mode of electron beam testers.
