摘要:
Currently, there is no noise-proof cover, particularly noise-proof cover used in a clean room, which absorbs noise by a structure specialized for an estimated frequency of noise produced by environmental noise. Therefore, efficient noise absorption is still difficult.Accordingly, the invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus in which either a first noise absorber which provides noise absorbing performance specialized for a first frequency range including the natural frequency of the charged particle beam apparatus as reference, or a second noise absorber which provides noise absorbing performance specialized for a second frequency range including the frequency of acoustic standing waves generated within the cover as reference, or both of the first and second noise absorbers is/are disposed within a cover of the charged particle beam apparatus.
摘要:
The charged particle beam device has a problem that a symmetry of equipotential distribution is disturbed near the outer edge of a specimen, an object being evaluated, causing a charged particle beam to deflect there. An electrode plate installed inside the specimen holding mechanism of electrostatic attraction type is formed of an inner and outer electrode plates arranged concentrically. The outer electrode plate is formed to have an outer diameter larger than that of the specimen. The dimensions of the electrode plates are determined so that an overlapping area of the outer electrode plate and the specimen is substantially equal to an area of the inner electrode plate. The inner electrode plate is impressed with a voltage of a positive polarity with respect to a reference voltage and of an arbitrary magnitude, and the outer electrode is impressed with a voltage of a negative polarity and of an arbitrary magnitude.
摘要:
Disclosed is a smaller and lighter stage device which can be applied to a device such as a length measurement SEM for inspecting and/or evaluating a semiconductor, and in which the effect of a magnetic field on an electron beam can be reduced. Linear motors 110, 111, 112, 113 are disposed on four sides of a base 104 to be distanced from an electron beam projection position (the center of the stage device), respectively. The base 104 has dimensions substantially equivalent to minimum dimensions determined by the size of a top table 101 and a movable stroke. Linear motor stators 110, 112 are configured to have a “C-shaped” structure whose opening faces outside of the stage device, respectively. Further, a movable table is coupled to the top table via linear guides 107, 109 composed of a nonmagnetic material or roller mechanisms composed of a nonmagnetic material.

A specimen stage apparatus has a braking structure which can generate a braking force enough to stop a specimen stage while keeping a movable table from increasing in its weight. The specimen stage apparatus has an X guide fixed on an X base and representing a guide structure in X direction, an X table constrained by the X guide to be movable in X direction, an X actuator having its movable part fixed to the X table and an X brake fixed to the X base and representing a braking structure for the X table. A controller carries out positioning control in which it generates a braking force by pushing the X brake against the bottom surface of the X table to stop a specimen stage and turning off the servo-control of the X actuator after stoppage of the specimen stage.

A two axis stage for microscopes that is thin, has reduced vibration, and is adapted for increased stage transportation speeds is capable of being disposed inside a chamber without changing a floor-projected area. The XY stage comprises a base 1, an X table 2 that can be moved in an X direction on the base 1 by an X feed screw 7, and a Y table 3 that is supported on the X table 2 and movable in a Y direction. A third table 4 is disposed on the base 1, the third table being movable in the Y direction by a Y-feed screw 8 positioned on the base 1. Additionally, a slide unit 14 is disposed on the third table 4, the slide unit 14 being movable in the X direction and connected with the Y table 3.
