    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scanning electron microscope that achieves an increase in both resolution and pattern recognition capability. In order to achieve the purpose, the present invention proposes a scanning electron microscope provided with a monochromator that makes an electron beam monochromatic, the monochromator including a magnetic field generator that deflects the electron beam, and an energy selection aperture that passes a part of the electron beam deflected by the magnetic field generator. An aperture that passes some of electrons emitted from the sample and a detector that detects the electrons that have passed through the aperture are disposed on a trajectory to which the electrons emitted from the sample are deflected by a magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an analysis apparatus includes a secondary electron optical system, at least one detector, and a composition analysis unit. The secondary electron optical system includes a charged particle beam source and a lens. The charged particle beam source generates a charged particle beam and irradiates a sample with it. The lens controls a focal position and a trajectory of the charged particle beam using an electric field or a magnetic field. The detector detects a characteristic X-ray from the sample. The composition analysis unit analyzes a composition of a material constituting the sample from the detected characteristic X-ray. Each detector is arranged in such a manner that at least part of a detection surface thereof is placed on the same plane as an exit surface of the secondary electron optical system, or placed on the charged particle beam side of the same plane.

    Abstract: A sample holder is provided allowing for favorable observation of a cross-sectional sample using a retarding method. The sample holder includes: a sample placement member on which a first fixing member, a cross-sectional sample as an observation sample, and a second fixing member are placed in contact with each other, and inserted inside the electronic optical lens barrel of an electron microscope; and a voltage introduction means for introducing a voltage to the sample placement member. The sample placement member has a positioning section for positioning the first fixing member, the cross-sectional sample, and the second fixing member onto a placement position. A positioning section positions the first planar surface of the first fixing member and the second planar surface of the second fixing member which are disposed respectively adjacent to the observation surface of the cross-sectional sample, parallel to the observation surface at locations equidistant from the observation surface.

    Abstract: The present invention provides means and corresponding embodiments to control charge-up in an electron beam apparatus, which can eliminate the positive charges soon after being generated on the sample surface within a frame cycle of imaging scanning. The means are to let some or all of secondary electrons emitted from the sample surface return back to neutralize positive charges built up thereon so as to reach a charge balance within a limited time period. The embodiments use control electrodes to generate retarding fields to reflect some of secondary electrons with low kinetic energies back to the sample surface.
