    摘要: In a scanning electron microscope, an optimum scanning method for reducing the amount of deflection of a primary electron beam and secondary electrons is determined to acquire stable images. An energy filter is used to discriminate between energy levels. The change in yield of obtained electrons is used to measure the variation in specimen potential. The time constant of charging created during electron beam irradiation is extracted. The scanning method is optimized based on the extracted time constant to reduce the distortion and magnification variation that appear in a SEM image.

    摘要: A focused ion beam apparatus enables an ion beam to be focused highly accurately on a sample at the beam spot position of the case of the absence of magnetic field without causing isotope separation of the ion beam on the sample, even when there is a magnetic field on the ion beam optical axis or the magnetic field fluctuates. The focused ion beam apparatus comprises a corrective magnetic field generating unit 10 disposed on the optical axis of the ion beam 3 for correcting the deflection of the ion beam 3 due to an external magnetic field. The corrective magnetic field generating unit 10 includes pole-piece pairs 26A and 26B, each of which having two pole pieces 26a and 26b or 26c and 26d that are adjacent to each other with a gap d. The pole-piece pairs 26A and 26B are disposed opposite to each other with a gap g (>d) across the optical axis of the ion beam 3. Each of the pole pieces 26a to 26d is wound with an internal coil 29, and the pole-piece pairs 26A and 26B are each wound with an external coil 30 in such a manner as to surround the internal coils 29.
