Abstract:
A charged particle beam apparatus includes a field emission electron source, electrodes for applying an electric field to the field emission electron source, and a vacuum exhaust unit for keeping the pressure around the field emission electron source at 1×10−8 Pa or less. The apparatus uses electron beams emitted to have an electron-beam-center radiation angle of 1×10−2 sr or less, and uses the electric current thereof, the second order differentiation of which is negative or zero with respect to time, and which reduces at a rate of 10% or less per hour. A heating unit is provided for the field emission electron source, and a detection unit is provided for the electric current of the electron beam. The field emission electron source is repeatedly heated to keep the electric current of the electron beam to be emitted, at a predetermined value or higher.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus that keeps the degree of vacuum in the vicinity of the electron source to ultra-high vacuum such as 10−8 to 10−9 Pa even in the state where electron beams are emitted using a non-evaporable getter pump and is not affected by dropout foreign particles.The present invention includes a vacuum vessel in which a charged particle source (electron source, ion source, etc.) is disposed and a non-evaporable getter pump disposed at a position that does not directly face electron beams and includes a structure that makes the non-evaporable getter pump upward with respect to a horizontal direction to drop out foreign particles into a bottom in a groove, so that the foreign particles dropped out from the non-evaporable getter pump do not face an electron optical system. Or, the present invention includes a structure that is covered by a shield means, or a means that is disposed immediately on a surface of the non-evaporable getter pump but at a position where the electron beams are not seen and has a concave structure capable of trapping the dropout foreign particles on a lower portion of the non-evaporable getter pump.

Abstract:
An electron gun that serves to reduce the quantity of electron stimulated desorption and accomplishes vacuum evacuation efficiently with a sufficient degree of vacuum. An electron source 1 and an extraction electrode 6 are provided for emitting an electron beam 7 from the electron source 1. A first vacuum chamber 16 containing the electron source 1 is connected to a second vacuum chamber 9 via an aperture 8 provided in the extraction electrode 6. Each vacuum chamber is differentially evacuated with an independent vacuum evacuation means, and the generation of electron stimulated desorption gas 11 is reduced by securing a wide route of vacuum evacuation around the electron source 1 and intercepting the procession of back scattered electrons 12 emitted from the area with the electron beam 7 on the extraction electrode 6 by using a shielding electrode 22 given a prescribed potential.

Abstract:
A gas field ion source that can simultaneously increase a conductance during rough vacuuming and reduce an extraction electrode aperture diameter from the viewpoint of the increase of ion current. The gas field ion source has a mechanism to change a conductance in vacuuming a gas molecule ionization chamber. That is, the conductance in vacuuming a gas molecule ionization chamber is changed in accordance with whether or not an ion beam is extracted from the gas molecule ionization chamber. By forming lids as parts of the members constituting the mechanism to change the conductance with a bimetal alloy, the conductance can be changed in accordance with the temperature of the gas molecule ionization chamber, for example the conductance is changed to a relatively small conductance at a relatively low temperature and to a relatively large conductance at a relatively high temperature.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a compact electron lens causing little aberration, and a charged particle beam apparatus such as a scanning electron microscope that is super compact and offers a high resolution. An upper magnetic pole and a sample-side magnetic pole are magnetically coupled to the respective poles of a permanent magnet that is made of a highly strong magnetic material such as a rare-earth cobalt system or a neodymium-iron-boron system, that is axially symmetrical, and that has a hole in the center thereof. An inner gap is created on the side of a center axis. Thus, a magnetic lens is formed axially. Moreover, a semi-stationary magnetic path that shields an outside magnetic field and has the magnetic reluctance thereof regulated is disposed outside. The sample-side magnetic pole and magnetic path defines a region where magnetic reluctance is the highest outside the permanent magnet. A space defined by the permanent magnet, upper magnetic pole, sample-die magnetic pole, and semi-stationary magnetic path is filled with a filling made of a non-magnetic material. Thus, an objective lens is constructed.
