摘要:
An electron beam emitted from an electron gun (G) forms a reduced image on a sample (S) through a non-dispersion Wien-filter (5-1), an electromagnetic deflector (11-1), a beam separator (12-1), and a tablet lens (17-1) as an objective lens. The beam separator (12-1) is configured such that a distance by which a secondary electron beam passes through the beam separator is approximately three times longer than a distance by which a primary electron beam passes through the beam separator. Therefore, even if a magnetic field in the beam separator is set to deflect the primary electron beam by a small angle equal to or less than approximately 10 degrees, the secondary electron beam can be deflected by approximately 30 degrees, so that the primary and secondary electron beams are sufficiently separated. Also, since the primary electron beam is deflected by a small angle, less aberration occurs in the primary electron beam. Accordingly, since a light path length of a primary electro-optical system, it is possible to reduce the influence of space charge and the occurrence of deflection aberration.

An evacuation apparatus and method using a turbomolecular pump having a rotor provided with a plurality of rotor blades and a spacer provided with a plurality of stator blades so that gas molecules are sucked in from a suction port, compressed and discharged from an exhaust port of the turbomolecular pump is disclosed. A heat exchanger is provided at the suction port side of the turbomolecular pump to freeze-trap gas molecules from being cooled by a helium refrigerator.The gate valve is disposed upstream of the heat exchanger and is provided in a suction pipe which extends between the vacuum vessel and the turbomolecular pump. In exhausting the vacuum vessel, the gate valve is opened and, in this state, the turbomolecular pump and the helium refrigerator are run. During regeneration, the gate valve is closed, the turbomolecular pump is run, and the heat exchanger is heated by means of a heater or by operation of the helium refrigator being suspended, thereby sublimating molecules freeze-trapped in the heat exchanger.

A first adjusting base made of a leaf spring material is supported on a holder in such a manner that the first adjusting base crosses the moving direction of the holder and is slightly pivotable about a first pivot axis which is parallel to a disk surface. A second adjusting base made of a leaf spring material is supported on the first adjusting base in such a manner that the second adjusting base crosses the first pivot axis and is slightly pivotable about a second pivot axis. The first and second adjusting bases are biased in a slightly pivoting direction by their own elasticity and, by turning screws which restrict the biasing, the first and second bases are pivoted to adjust the direction of an optical axis of a pickup head. Shaking of the pickup head is prevented and shock to the pickup head is absorbed by elasticity of the first and second adjusting bases whereby the device can be made compact and light.

An oil-free turbo vacuum pump is capable of evacuating gas in a chamber from atmospheric pressure to high vacuum. The turbo vacuum pump includes a pumping section having rotor blades and stator blades which are disposed alternately in a casing, a main shaft for supporting the rotor blades, and a bearing and motor section having a motor for rotating the main shaft and a bearing mechanism for supporting the main shaft rotatably. A gas bearing is used as a bearing for supporting the main shaft in a thrust direction, spiral grooves are formed in both surfaces of a stationary part of the gas bearing, and the stationary part having the spiral grooves is placed between an upper rotating part and a lower rotating part which are fixed to the main shaft.

A vacuum exhaust system comprising a vacuum chamber; means for introducing a gas into the vacuum chamber; a main pump for exhausting the vacuum chamber and reducing a pressure of the vacuum chamber to a desired pressure; an auxiliary pump disposed downstream from the main pump; and piping for connecting them, wherein an outer diameter of connecting piping as a connection between the main pump and the auxiliary pump is ½ inch (12.7 mm) or less; and a length of the connecting piping and capability of the auxiliary pump are combined so that a back pressure of the main pump becomes 5 Torr or more. This vacuum exhaust system can realize cost reduction through a saving in entire space, simplification of piping construction work, and so on.

A screw pump includes a casing having inlet and outlet ports and a pump rotor rotatably mounted in the casing and having screw threads communicating with said inlet and outlet ports. The pump rotor is rotated by a reversible speed-controllable motor, typically a DC brushless motor, mounted in the casing to deliver a liquid such as a chemical solution from the inlet port through a liquid passage defined by the screw threads to the outlet port.

A movable guide for receiving a caddy is provided movably in the loading and unloading directions on a main chassis. The movable guide is moved by a drive mechanism from an eject position to a disk drive position. An arrangement is made so that by an action of front and rear guide pins engaged in front and rear cam slits of the main chassis, when the movable guide is at the eject position, a turntable of a traverse unit disposed below the main chassis is spaced by a predetermined distance from a disk and, as the movable guide is moved in the loading direction, approaches gradually to the disk and, when the movable guide reaches the disk drive position, the turntable is attracted to the disk. The turntable approaches the disk upwardly relatively from beneath the disk and is attracted smoothly to the disk by a series of continuous operation.
