    摘要: A Schottky emission cathode has a filament, a needle-shaped piece of single crystal refractory metal which is attached to the filament and has a flat crystal surface at a tip thereof, and an adsorbed layer including at least one kind of a metal other than the single crystal refractory metal on the flat crystal surface. The piece of single crystal refractory metal is heated by passing a current through the filament and electrons are extracted by an electric field applied on a tip of the needle-shaped piece of single crystal refractory metal. The tip of the needle-shaped piece of single crystal refractory metal as a radius of curvature of a value to produce an energy width among electrons extracted from the tip not exceeding a predetermined value when the electric field is sufficient to prevent the flat crystal surface from collapsing during operation of the cathode.

    摘要: An apparatus for inspecting a sample using a scanning electron microscope includes a sample stage, a first electron-optical system to scan an electron beam of a first beam current on the sample, a second electron-optical system to scan an electron beam of a second beam current smaller than the first beam current on the sample, a mechanism to move the sample stage, a detector provided in each of the first and second electron-optical systems to detect a secondary electron. The first electron-optical system is operable in a first mode and the second electron-optical system is operable in a second mode with higher resolution than that of the first mode. In the first mode, the sample is observed while the sample stage is moved continuously, and in the second mode, the sample is observed by detecting a secondary electron using the detector while the sample stage is held stationary.

    摘要: While an image obtained by a general electron microscope is affected by the shape and material of an object specimen, an image obtained from mirror electrons is affected by the shape of an equipotential surface on which the mirror electrons are reflected, thereby the image interpretation is complicated. A mirror electron microscope of the present invention is provided with the following means for controlling a reflecting plane of the mirror electrons according to the structure of an object pattern to be measured or a concerned defect.1) Means for controlling a potential difference between a specimen and an electron source equivalent to a height of a reflecting plane of a mirror electron beam according to a type, an operation condition of an electron source, and a type of a pattern on a specimen. 2) Means for controlling an energy distribution of an illuminating beam with an energy filter 9 disposed in an illuminating system. It is thus possible to inspect a specimen according to a size and a potential of a pattern, which are distinguished from others.

    摘要: It was hard for conventional SEMs to take measurements at a high speed and take accurate measurements when an insulator exists between an object to probe and the detector, because the conventional SEMs used a continuous electron beam. Also, it was impossible to apply voltage to the sample during the measurement of current. By pulse-modulating the electron beam and extracting a high-frequency signal component from the sample, new SEM equipment disclosed herein detects electrons absorbed in the sample at a high speed and with precision. Precise and high-speed absorption current measurements can be achieved. High-functionality inspection apparatus can be provided.
