Award Reason

Dr. Yanbo Zou has been devoted to the Monte Carlo simulation for secondary electron emission and related standardization of microbeam analysis during her graduate course at the Laboratory for Microstructure of Solids, University of Science and Technology of China. Particularly, her work on the evaluating critical dimension by CD-SEM was one of the most important cornerstones for the development of the international standard “Microbeam analysis - Scanning electron microscopy - Method for evaluating critical dimensions by CD-SEM” (ISO 21466).
