    摘要: An irradiation electron beam emitted from an electron gun is deflected by an energy filter, and passes through a first projective lens and an objective lens, and then irradiated onto a sample to produce secondary electrons. The secondary electron beam accelerated by a negative voltage applied to the sample passes through the objective lens and the first projective lens, and deflected by the energy filter to be energy dispersed. Only the secondary electrons having a specified energy pass through energy selecting aperture, and further pass through a second projective lens to form a projected image of the secondary electrons on an imager. Such an electron-optical system may be used for dimension evaluation or inspection of semiconductor substrates.

    摘要: A device for generating voltage signals in a semiconductor device upon irradiation with a charged particle beam, wherein a circuit for converting a beam current of the irradiated charged particle beam into the voltage signals is constituted by a bipolar transistor and a load device contained in the semiconductor device, and a portion of the line pattern connected to the base of the bipolar transistor is irradiated with the charged particle beam, so that signals are generated at high speeds even by using a weak charged particle beam without permitting the device to be broken down.

    摘要: It is possible to carry out a highly accurate thin film machining by irradiation of an ion beam to a sample and a high-resolution STEM observation of the sample by irradiating an electron beam with a high throughput almost without moving the sample. The FIB irradiation system has an irradiation axis almost orthogonally intersecting an irradiation axis of the STEM observation electron beam irradiation system. The sample is arranged at the intersection point of the irradiation axes. The FIB machining plane of the sample is extracted from the thin film plane of the STEM observation sample. The transmitting/scattered beam detector are arranged at backward of the sample on the electron beam irradiation axis viewed from the electron beam irradiation direction.
