Zusammenfassung:A method for implementing a scanning electron microscopy characterisation technique for the determination of at least one critical dimension of the structure of a sample in the field of dimensional metrology, known as CD-SEM technique, the method including producing an experimental image representative of the structure of the sample and derived from a scanning electron microscope, from a first theoretical model based on parametric mathematical functions, calculating a second theoretical model obtained by algebraic summation of a corrective term, the corrective term being the convolution product between a given convolution kernel and the first theoretical model, the second theoretical model comprising a set of parameters to determine, and determining the set of parameters present in the second theoretical model by means of an adjustment between the second theoretical model and the experimental image.
