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.

The present invention is intended to form a satisfactory SIM image having high contrast without requiring comparatively high current density and high vacuum, and to enable satisfactory observation of grains in a high resolution at a reduced cost. An object area on a sample is divided virtually into a plurality of small areas, the small areas are irradiated sequentially in a time series mode with a surface processing beam and a data acquisition beam, the irradiation of each small area is executed, secondary signals produced by the sample when the sample is irradiated with the data acquisition beam, and an image of the object area on the sample is formed on the basis of the detected secondary signals.

A sample fabricating method of irradiating a sample with a focused ion beam at an incident angle less than 90 degrees with respect to the surface of the sample, eliminating the peripheral area of a micro sample as a target, turning a specimen stage around a line segment perpendicular to the sample surface as a turn axis, irradiating the sample with the focused ion beam while the incident angle on the sample surface is fixed, and separating the micro sample or preparing the micro sample to be separated. A sample fabricating apparatus for forming a sample section in a sample held on a specimen stage by scanning and deflecting an ion beam, wherein an angle between an optical axis of the ion beam and the surface of the specimen stage is fixed and formation of a sample section is controlled by turning the specimen stage.
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.
