Electron beam-induced current (EBIC) mapping in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) enables the direct visualization of charge carrier transport with nanometer resolution. We present a comparative STEM-EBIC study on silicon photodiode lamellae prepared by gallium and xenon focused ion beam milling. The EBIC mapping reveals the p-n junction and allows for the extraction of the effective electron and hole diffusion lengths as a function of local thickness. These values are up to three orders of magnitude smaller than bulk EBIC results, highlighting strong surface recombination and preparation-induced artifacts. Complementary I-V measurements show significant deviations from the expected diode-like behavior, which we attribute to high resistive contacts at the metal-semiconductor interfaces. Our findings emphasize the critical role of sample preparation for quantitative EBIC analysis.
