We have quantified two-dimensional dopant profiles in Si with high accuracy using a commercial field emission gun scanning electron microscope with added secondary electron energy-filtering capabilities. Quantification was achieved for dopant concentrations of 2.8x10(17)-7.5x10(19) cm(-3) with an accuracy of +/- 8.5%. Using energy filtering, we have measured the surface potential difference Delta Phi(s) across a 3 nm wide p-doped Si layer with respect to the n-doped substrate of a test structure to be 0.72 +/- 0.15 V. Spatial resolution limits are discussed and are shown to be limited by the secondary electron escape depth. A technique for the rapid collection of calibrated energy-filtered images is also proposed.
