    摘要: In accordance with an increase in speed, a wiring structure has rapidly become more microscopic and thinner and a wiring layer has become extremely thin, and therefore, giving a contact load to a probe for the inspection as has been conventionally done causes damage to a wiring layer and an insulation layer because the probe penetrates not only the oxide film but also the wiring layer or because of a concentration stress from the probe. On the other hand, decreasing the contact load causes unstable continuity between the probe and an electrode pad.It is an object of the present invention to surely and stably inspect an object to be inspected by breaking an oxide film with a low stylus pressure.The present invention is a probe that comes into electrical contact with an object to be inspected when inspecting an electrical characteristic of the object to be inspected, the probe including: a probe main body having a contact portion that comes into contact with the object to be inspected; and a plurality of conductive materials having tip portions projecting from the contact portion of the probe main body.

    摘要: Because a sample holder 100 is composed of a plurality of convex parts 1 provided on a top face of a base substance 2, and the plurality of convex parts 1 are spherical surfaces 1a formed of a single crystal or amorphous material, frictional wear of the sample at contact parts between a sample 4 and the convex parts 1 is reduced, thereby making it possible to inhibit particle generation. Further, because a joining layer 3 is formed of a single crystal or amorphous material, there is no defect that particles scattered on the sample holder 100 fill up it, which makes it possible to easily keep it in a clean state by cleaning, and it is possible to effectively reduce reattachment of particles to the sample 4.

    摘要翻译: 由于样品保持器100由设置在基体2的顶面上的多个凸部1构成,多个凸部1是由单晶或非晶材料形成的球面1a,所以样品的摩擦磨损 在样品4与凸部1之间的接触部分被还原,从而可以抑制颗粒的产生。 此外,由于接合层3由单晶或非晶材料形成,所以不存在散布在样品架100上的颗粒填充的缺陷,这使得可以通过清洁容易地将其保持在清洁状态,并且其 可以有效地减少颗粒到样品4的再附着。

    摘要: Provided is a defect inspection apparatus and an inspection (or evaluation) method with highly improved accuracy, which would not be provided by the prior art, in the defect inspection apparatus used in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device.Provided is a method for inspecting a sample surface with a projection type electron beam inspection apparatus, comprising the steps of: forming such an irradiation area on the sample surface by an electron beam generated from an electron gun 21 that has approximately a circular or elliptical shape of a size larger than a pattern on the sample surface; irradiating the electron beam substantially onto a center of the pattern on the sample surface; and forming an image on an electron detection plane of a detector from secondary electrons emanating from the sample surface in response to the irradiation of the electron beam for inspecting the sample surface.
