摘要:
The charged particle beam device of this invention has a source of charged particles, and a charged particle optical system for focusing primary charged particle beams (3) emitted from said source and scanning the primary charged beams (3) on a sample (14). The device comprises a transmitted signal conversion member (15) for emitting secondary charged particles (12a, 12b) by collisions of dark field charged particles (18b) transmitted through the sample (14). An opening is formed in said transmitted signal conversion member (15) which opening has a size through which the transmitted charged particles (18b) can pass. The device further comprises a power supply capable of applying a positive voltage (Vc) to said opening. By controlling the positive voltage, the lower limit of the scattering angle of the dark field signal detected by a detector (13) can be controlled.
摘要:
The charged particle beam device of this invention separately detects secondary signal particles emitted from the surface of a sample, dark field signal particles scattered within and transmitted through the sample, bright field signal particles transmitted through the sample without being scattered within the sample, and thereby allows the operator to observe the image with an optimum contrast according to applications. In order to detect only the dark field transmitted signal particles scattered within the sample, among the transmitted signal particles obtained by the primary charged particle beams having transmitted through the thin film sample, the device includes a transmitted signal conversion member having an opening through which the bright field transmitted signal particles not being scattered within the sample can pass, and a detection means for detecting signals colliding against the conversion member.
摘要:
A charged particle beam apparatus produces little reduction in resolution when the beam is inclined with respect to a sample. The trajectory of a primary beam 4 is deflected by a deflector or changed by a movable aperture such that the beam is incident on a plurality of lenses 6 and 7 off the axes thereof. A means is provided to control the off-axis trajectory of the beam such that an aberration produced by the objective lens 7 when the beam is inclined can be canceled by an aberration produced by the other lens 6.
