Abstract

A method for measuring the potential waveform in an electronic component by means of a scanning electron beam in which the pulse sequence of the primary electron beam contains alternatingly a pulse sequence with a fixed reference phase with respect to the potential pattern of the measuring voltage, and a pulse sequence with a measuring phase which can be shifted over a phase range, with the potential difference between the reference phase and the measuring phases measured, permitting the contactless measurement and a display of the potential pattern on a picture screen.
