Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, a technique, and a method for two-dimensional distributions and measuring distortions and stress, having nanometer resolution of each type of crystal sample through the use of diffraction images observed by an electronic microscope. SOLUTION: Electron beams are irradiated in minute amount and in parallel to a sample. The distances, between the spots of a diffraction image reflecting a crystal structure acquired by the irradiation, are measured by an image detector or a position detector. A two-dimensional stress distribution is superimposed on the measured positional information and displayed on an enlarged image of an electronic microscope. Distortions and stresses in minute crystals can be displayed at a high resolution and at a high speed in matching structural information of the sample. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: 高分解能で、かつ高感度に、計測位置整合性の高い応力・歪の二次元的な分布の実時間計測を可能にする微小領域物性計測方法及び装置である。細く絞った電子線(23,26)を走査しながら試料に照射し、回折スポット(32,33)の位置の変位を二次元位置有感形電子検出器(13)で計測する。変位量は電圧値として出力されるので、ナノディフラクション法の原理に従って応力・歪の大きさに変換し、試料上の位置信号と同期して画像表示する。

Abstract: Problems encountered in the conventional inspection method and the conventional apparatus adopting the method are solved by the present invention using an electron beam by providing a novel inspection method and an inspection apparatus adopting the novel method which are capable of increasing the speed to scan a specimen such as a semiconductor wafer. The inspection novel method provided by the present invention comprises the steps of: generating an electron beam; converging the generated electron beam on a specimen by using an objective lens; scanning the specimen by using the converged electron beam; continuously moving the specimen during scanning; detecting charged particles emanating from the specimen at a location between the specimen and the objective lens and converting the detected charged particles into an electrical signal; storing picture information conveyed by the electrical signal; comparing a picture with another by using the stored picture information; and detecting a defect of the specimen.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection method using electron beam which can speed up the inspection and an inspection device. SOLUTION: An electron beam 36 from an electron gun 1 is converged by an objective lens 9 and decelerated by the retarding voltage impressed to a sample 13. The sample 13 is scanned by the electron beam while moving, and the secondary electron 33 generated from the sample 13 is accelerated by the retarding voltage and becomes almost parallel beam. Then the beam is deflected by an E×B deflector 18 which is located between the objective lens 9 and the sample 13, and it irradiates a secondary electron generating body 19. A second secondary electron 20 generates from the secondary electron generating body 19, and is detected by a charged particle detector 21. The detected output signal is stored as a picture signal, and the stored picture is compared at an operation part 29 and a defect determining part 30 to determine the defect. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
