    摘要: When a desired portion is separated from an integrated circuit chip or a semiconductor wafer, the portion is separated without dividing the chip or the wafer, so that the separated specimen can be moved to a desired position, and the separated specimen can be set to a desired attitude. Therefore, various analyses on the specimen through TEM, SEM, SIMS and so on can be carried out. A minute piece of specimen is cut and separated from the substrate of a specimen by use of a three-dimensional minute processing technique and a micro-manipulation technique. A surface of the specimen is subjected to an FIB processing from at least two kinds of angles, the separated specimen being mechanically connected to an external probe in a step for separating a part of the specimen including a portion to be analyzed. The separated specimen is supported by the probe, being moved. The separated specimen is subjected to analysis through TEM, SEM, SIMS, etc.

    摘要: When a scanning image of a scanning charged particle microscope is impaired by an external disturbance, a disturbance frequency can be simply and precisely analyzed from the image in order to specify the external disturbance. The maximum frequency analyzable by the scanning charged particle microscope can also be increased up to several kHz, which is the rotation frequency of, for example, a turbo-molecular pump commonly used as an exhaust pump of the scanning charged particle microscope. In an FFT analysis of a stripe pattern which is an impairment of the scanning image, the scanning charged particle microscope performs a one-dimensional FFT (1D-FFT) in the Y-direction (sub-deflection direction of the charged particle beam) or a one-dimensional DFT (1D-DFT) in the X-direction (main deflection direction of the charged particle beam). To extend the analyzable maximum frequency up to several kHz, the scanning charged particle microscope also performs the 1D-FFT (or 1D-DFT) analysis in the X-direction (main deflection direction of the charged particle beam) along which the charged particle beam has a fast scanning speed.
