    Abstract: There are disclosed a method for fabricating (processing) a micro-sample used for the observation, analysis, and measurement by, for example, a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and an equipment for specimen fabrication (processing) used for carrying out the method. With the method for specimen fabrication (processing) of the present invention, a micro-sample to be separated and extracted from a specimen substrate is sandwiched and held between a plurality of branch beams formed at the tip of a beam. The beam holding the micro-sample is transferred onto a sample holder, and the micro-sample is mounted (firmly held) on the sample holder. After mounting the micro-sample on the sample holder, the beam is detached and separated from the mounted micro-sample. By adopting such a method for separating, extracting, and mounting the micro-sample, it is possible to separate and extract the minute micro-sample from a desired region on the specimen substrate with precision and stability, and to fabricate a specimen for high reliability observation, analysis, and measurement entailing less contamination, in a shorter time and with efficiency.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for surely and stably separating, removing, and storing a minute test piece without contaminating the minute test piece and an area around the minute test piece. SOLUTION: A test piece including an area to be observed is separated from a sample substrate by ion beam sputtering. A beam member is used to remove the test piece from the sample substrate. After the test piece is moved onto a mounting table on which the test piece is mounted, the test piece is stored by separating the beam member and the test piece from each other. The beam member serves to push in a sample for retention and pull out the sample for separation. The beam member has a tip that is narrower than a root of the beam member, and the tip is in a divided shape. The beam member is composed of a rod-like member for holding the test piece by force of elastic deformation in a site, obtained by the shape, in which the test piece is held.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for certainly and stably separating, extracting, and storing a micro sample piece without contaminating the micro sample piece and/or its peripheral region. SOLUTION: This beam member is formed of a rod-like member that is used for separating the sample piece including a region to be observed from a sample substrate by an ion beam spatter method, pressing and holding the sample, and pulling out and separating it, has a tip that is thinner than the root and has a split shape, and holds the sample piece with a force due to elastic deformation of a part for holding the sample piece obtained by the shape. Using the beam member, the sample piece is extracted from the sample substrate, is moved to a mounting stand for mounting it, and then stores the sample piece by separating the sample piece from the beam member.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provice a laser length measuring device in which a length measuring displacement is within an absolute accuracy of ±2 to ±1 nm. SOLUTION: A fluctuation-shaped error component which appears so as to correspond to the wavelength cycle of a laser beam is sensed when a stage is moved, and the error component is subtracted so as to increase an accuracy. Concretely, when a continuously moving object is used as an object to be measured so as to measure a distance a vibration component which appears at a cycle agreeing with the wavelength of the laser beam is regarded as a measurement error due to an interference effect, it is stored, and it is corrected so as to increase an accuracy, As a method used for its correction, comparativelt simple sine waves are added and subtracted, and the error of an absolute position of about ±2 mm is reduced to within ±1 nm so as to increase an accuracy. That is to say, the laser length measuring device is provided with a length measuring mechanism using a laser interference and a correction means which adds and subtracts a correction value with reference to the length measuring output value of the length measuring mechanism. The correction means uses a cyclic correction value whose cycle corresponds to the wavelength cycle of the laser beam.
