Abstract:
A method of controlling a terminal press attaching device by providing a elevating crimper for crimping terminals onto exposed conductors of the cables, setting an anvil opposite to the crimper, and elevating the drive means including a servo motor. More specifically, the crimp height for press attached terminals is monitored, a detected height and the predetermined set value are compared to control said drive means such that the detected height is made equal to the set value. Thus, the crimp height of the terminal to be attached (or the crimper height) is automatically and easily adjusted.

Information indicating the reason for a failure of template matching is provided. Difference information between a first image, which is referred to as a template, and a third image that is selected by the operator from a second image and that is larger than the template is displayed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for alignment and astigmatism correction for a scanning electron microscope can prevent an alignment or correction error attributable to the conditions of a particular specimen. First, a difference is determined between optimal values acquired from an automatic axis alignment result on a standard sample, and those obtained from each of a plurality automatic axis alignment results on a observation target sample. An optimal value is then adjusted using the standard sample, by use of the difference thus obtained. Correspondingly, an optimal stigmator value (astigmatism correction signal) is acquired by using the standard sample, and storing the optimal stigmator value as a default value. The optimal stigmator value and the default value depending on the height of an observation target sample pattern are added, and an astigmatism correction is performed on the basis of the resultant stigmator value.

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:
As measurement accuracy required for the scanning electron microscope (SEM) for measuring a pattern width becomes stringent, a technique of reducing the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's is desired. However, the conventional technique of evaluating the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's cannot separate the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's themselves and a dimensional change resulting from deformation of the pattern itself. Moreover, the technique of reducing the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's needs an operator for reducing the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's for each measurement pattern shape. In this invention, a pattern at the same position is measured for a plurality of times with each SEM, and a different between extrapolated values of measured values obtained by the respective SEM's is calculated, whereby separation between the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's and a dimensional change resulting from deformation of the pattern itself is made possible. Moreover, matching electron beam image profiles between the SEM's using an operator that simulates a difference in beam diameter between the SEM's makes it possible to reduce the difference in a measured dimension between the SEM's, not depending on a dimensional measurement pattern shape.

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:
Equipment extracts components of spatial frequency that need to be evaluated in manufacturing a device or in analyzing a material or process out of edge roughness on fine line patterns and displays them as indexes. The equipment acquires data of edge roughness over a sufficiently long area, integrates a components corresponding to a spatial frequency region being set on a power spectrum by the operator, and displays them on a length measuring SEM. Alternatively, the equipment divides the edge roughness data of the sufficiently long area, computes long-period roughness and short-period roughness that correspond to an arbitrary inspection area by performing statistical processing and fitting based on theoretical calculation, and displays them on the length measuring SEM.
Abstract:
A combined terminal fitting assembly is provided to fix ends of three or more wires to one fixing place. Engaging portions (25, 26, 34, 35) for holding a right terminal fitting (TR) and a left terminal fitting (TL) assembled are provided on both upper and lower surfaces of terminal main bodies. Thus, the right terminal fittings (TR) and the left terminal fittings (TL) can be placed alternately one over another. As a result three or more wires (W) can be fixed to one fixing place. Upon assembling, the wire (W) of the right terminal fitting (TR) and the wire (W) of the left terminal fitting (TL) are brought gradually closer to each other from most distant positions. Thus, the left and right wires (W) neither overlap nor interfere with each other.
