Abstract :
A method allowing the determination of time resolution in the electron beam testing of integrated circuits is presented, and experimentally validated. The effect of the extraction field on time resolution is clearly demonstrated. It is also shown that a simple formulation of the transit time effect agrees well with experimental data.
