    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: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection method and device using electron beam in which inspection can be made at a higher speed. SOLUTION: Electron beam generated by an electron beam source is focused on a test piece by an object lens, and the test piece is scanned by the electron beam, and the electron bean is deflected so that a charged particle can be generated from the test piece, and the test piece is moved continuously while scanning and a focusing distance of the object lens is rectified by measuring a height of the test piece while the test piece is moving, and the charged particle generated from the test piece is detected from between the object lens and the test piece by a charged particle detecting unit and is converted into an electric signal, and the electric signal is memorized as an image signal and an image comparison is conducted by using the memorized image signal and a test piece defect is detected.
