Abstract: Ballistic-electron-emission microscopy (BEEM) is a relatively new technique for the investigation of semiconductor interfaces and energetic carrier transport over a wide energy range about the Fermi level. Because BEEM is based on scanning tunneling microscopy, which provides an atomic-scale probe of surfaces, it can resolve interface properties with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. BEEM techniques have been applied to the spatially resolved measurement of Schottky barrier height and to the energy spectroscopy of hot carrier transport in metal/semiconductor devices.
