    摘要: It is to provide a technology that can quickly process many measurement points on a substrate by a primary charged particle beam. In a control system, with respect to each measurement point (irradiation position of the primary charged particle beam) on a wafer, a calculator obtains a probability of a surface potential at a relevant measurement point that is obtained from a surface potential distribution function of the wafer and is stored in a data storage unit. Based on the probability, the calculator determines an amplitude of a set parameter (for example, retarding voltage) of charged particle optics at the relevant measurement point. Then the calculator checks the focus state of the primary charged particle beam by changing the set parameter in the range of the determined amplitude, and determines the set parameter to be used for measurement.

    摘要: The astigmatism control processing time is decreased to 1 second or less by improving the astigmatic difference measurement accuracy. A charged particle beam device includes: a stage on which a sample is loaded; a transport mechanism which carries the sample onto the stage; a charged particle beam optical system which irradiates the sample on the stage with a charged particle beam and detects secondary charged particles generated from the sample; and a controller which determines setup parameters for the charged particle beam optical system and controls the charged particle beam optical system. The controller registers and holds electro-optical system setup parameters for irradiation with a beam tilted from a normal line on the sample as the charged particle beam, compares observation images obtained by the tilted beam, measures the amount and direction of movement and calculates the amount of astigmatism correction from the amount of movement and the direction.
