摘要:
An invention providing a scanning electron microscope composed of a monochromator capable of high resolution, monochromatizing the energy and reducing chromatic aberrations without significantly lowering the electrical current strength of the primary electron beam. A scanning electron microscope is installed with a pair of sectorial magnetic and electrical fields having opposite deflection directions to focus the electron beam and then limit the energy width by means of slits, and another pair of sectorial magnetic and electrical fields of the same shape is installed at a position forming a symmetrical mirror versus the surface containing the slits. This structure acts to cancel out energy dispersion at the object point and symmetrical mirror positions, and by spatially contracting the point-converged spot beam with a converging lens system, improves the image resolution of the scanning electron microscope.

The present invention provides an ultimate analyzer which displays an element distribution image of an object with high contrast and high accuracy. A scanning transmission electron microscope and a method of analyzing elements using the ultimate analyzer is also provided. The ultimate analyzer comprises a scattered electron beam detector for detecting an electron beam scattered by an object; an electron spectrometer for energy dispersing an electron beam transmitted through the object; an electron beam detector for detecting said dispersed electron beam; and a control unit for analyzing elements based on an output signal of the electron beam detected by the electron beam detector and an output signal of the electron beam detected by the scattered electron beam detector.

An electron beam detector detects a peak of a spectrum, and when a peak position is deviated from a reference position on the electron beam detector, a controller for controlling an electron beam position on the electron beam detector is used to correct a deviation. An electron energy loss spectrum is measured while controlling correction a deviation between an electron beam position on a specimen, and a peak position of the spectrum, and a spectrum measuring with the electron beam detector.

An irradiation electron beam emitted from an electron gun is deflected by an energy filter, and passes through a first projective lens and an objective lens, and then irradiated onto a sample to produce secondary electrons. The secondary electron beam accelerated by a negative voltage applied to the sample passes through the objective lens and the first projective lens, and deflected by the energy filter to be energy dispersed. Only the secondary electrons having a specified energy pass through energy selecting aperture, and further pass through a second projective lens to form a projected image of the secondary electrons on an imager. Such an electron-optical system may be used for dimension evaluation or inspection of semiconductor substrates.

A multipole lens which focus or diffuse a charged particle beam having a metal cylinder mounted on the vacuum vessel and formed plural recesses on the inside wall of the meal cylinder, and plural cylindrical electrodes respectively mounted on said plural recesses through thin insulator. The cross-sectional shape of the each recess is a circular arcwise and the recess is formed along an central axis of the metal cylinder.For example, the multipole lens in the present invention is used in a electrostatic quadrupole lens of mass spectrometer or used in a quadrupole mass spectrometer.In this invention electric charging at the insulator is so little that the orbit of the charged particle beam can be very accurate for a long time.
