    Abstract: When a signal electron is detected by energy selection by combining and controlling retarding and boosting for observation of a deep hole, etc., the only way for focus adjustment is to use a change in magnetic field of an objective lens. However, since responsiveness of the change in magnetic field is poor, throughput reduces. A charged particle beam device includes: an electron source configured to generate a primary electron beam; an objective lens configured to focus the primary electron beam; a deflector configured to deflect the primary electron beam; a detector configured to detect a secondary electron or a reflection electron generated from a sample by irradiation of the primary electron beam; an electrode having a hole through which the primary electron beam passes; a voltage control power supply configured to apply a negative voltage to the electrode; and a retarding voltage control power supply configured to generate an electric field, which decelerates the primary electron beam, on the sample by applying the negative voltage to the sample, wherein the charged particle beam device performs focus adjustment while an offset between the voltage applied to the electrode and the voltage applied to the sample is being kept constant.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a contact hole observation technology for avoiding a situation in which it is difficult to observe a contact hole as a nonuniform charge is formed in the contact hole due to a tilted electron beam during a process for forming a preliminary charge on a sample. The present invention also provides a scanning electron microscope based on such a contact hole observation technology. During a preliminary charge process, an electron beam is allowed to become incident in a plurality of directions to perform a precharge, thereby reducing a region within the contact hole that is not irradiated with the electron beam. This reduces the number of secondary electrons that become lost on the wall surface of the contact hole, thereby making it possible to acquire information about the bottom of the contact hole. Further, the precharge is processed by dividing a precharge irradiation region into a plurality of ring-shaped regions concentric with an observation region and precharging each of the ring-shaped regions in a plurality of scanning directions.

When an electron beam for forming charge is irradiated to a sample, a first electron beam is irradiated to a first position (1) and a second position (2) having the center (104) of a pattern formed on the sample as a symmetrical point, and is then additionally irradiated to two central positions (3, 4) between the first and second irradiation position, the two central positions (3, 4) being on the same radius centered on the symmetrical point as are the first and second positions. Further, after that, the irradiation of the first electron beam to the central positions between existing scanning positions on the radius is repeated.
