Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a scanning electron microscope for reducing a process concerning inspection positioning or an input operation, thereby functioning with high precision at high speed. To accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a scanning electron microscope having a function for identifying a desired position on the basis of a pattern registered beforehand, which includes a means for setting information concerning the pattern kind, the interval between a plurality of parts constituting the pattern, and the size of parts constituting the pattern and a means for forming a pattern image composed of a plurality of parts on the basis of the information obtained by the concerned means.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus used to measure micro-dimensions (CD value) of a semiconductor apparatus or the like which captures images for measurement. For the present invention, a sample for calibration, on which a plurality of polyhedral structural objects with known angles on surfaces produced by the crystal anisotropic etching technology are arranged in a viewing field, is used. A beam landing angle at each position within a viewing field is calculated based on geometric deformation on an image of each polyhedral structural object. Beam control parameters for equalizing the beam landing angle at each position within the viewing field are pre-registered. The registered beam control parameters are applied according to the position of the pattern to be measured within the viewing field when performing dimensional measurement. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for reducing the variation in the CD value caused by the variation in the electron beam landing angle with respect to the sample with an equal beam landing angle and methods for reducing the instrumental error caused by the difference in the electron beam landing angle between apparatuses.

A system for controlling a tool-to-tool matching between a plurality of scanning electron microscopes for pattern dimension measurement includes a measuring unit for, at regular intervals, measuring a tool-to-tool disparity between scanning electron microscopes based on secondary electron image data, and measuring indicators indicating states of the microscopes, a tool-to-tool-disparity causing factor analyzing unit for analyzing a relationship between the tool-to-tool disparity and the values of the indicators measured by the measuring unit to estimate a factor that has caused said tool-to-tool disparity, and an output unit for displaying and outputting the tool-to-tool disparity causing factor estimated by the tool-to-tool-disparity causing factor analyzing unit.
Abstract:
An inspection apparatus of an electric junction box is provided, by which improper mounting of electric parts can be detected. The inspection apparatus 1 has a CCD camera 5, an image-processing device 7 and a control device 8. The CCD camera picks up images of fuse 14 in the electric junction box 12 as a subject of the inspection. The image-processing device 7 stores an image consulting data 60. The image consulting data 60 includes a plurality of images of each fuse 14 having the same item symbol with regard to every item symbol, the fuses 14 being used in the electric junction box 12. The control device 8 stores normal data indicating the proper item symbol of the fuse 14 to be mounted on a corresponding mount 13. The image-processing device 7 extracts the image most analogous to the image picked up by the CCD camera 5 from the images in the image consulting data. The control device 8 judges the quality of the item symbol of the fuse 14 having the most analogous image on the basis of the normal data.
Abstract:
The present invention is relates to a method for measuring average line width of line and space patterns in a simplified manner and at high speed without measuring at many positions. An average line width, an average space width, and an average pitch width are calculated from peak intervals of auto-correlation values of a differentiated image of the line and space patterns or peak patterns corresponding to line edges on projection data of the differentiated image.
