    摘要: The scanning charged particle beam microscope according to the present application is characterized in that, in acquiring an image of the FOV (field of view), interspaced beam irradiation points are set, and then, a deflector is controlled so that a charged particle beam scan is performed faster when the charged particle beam irradiates a position on the sample between each of the irradiation points than when the charged particle beam irradiates a position on the sample corresponding to each of the irradiation points (a position on the sample corresponding to each pixel detecting a signal). This allows the effects from a micro-domain electrification occurring within the FOV to be mitigated or controlled.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to realize both of the accuracy of measuring the amount of secondary electron emissions and the stability of a charged particle beam image in a charged particle beam device. In a charged particle beam device, extraction of detected signals is started by a first trigger signal, the extraction of the detected signals is completed by a second trigger signal, the detected signals are sampled N times using N (N is a natural number) third trigger signals that equally divide an interval time T between the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal, secondary charged particles are measured by integrating and averaging the signals sampled in respective division times ΔT obtained by equally dividing the interval time T, and the division time ΔT is controlled in such a manner that the measured number of secondary charged particles becomes larger than the minimum number of charged particles satisfying ergodicity.
