Extract

The main purpose of the article by A.C. Diebold and coworkers (2003) is to propose a robust method for determination of gate oxide thickness. O'Keefe objects to a statement in this paper that “Lattice images do NOT depict the projected atom columns; instead, they are interference patterns of the directly transmitted beam with diffracted beams.
