    Abstract: The scanning charged particle beam microscope according to the present invention 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.

    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a charged particle beam device wherein scanning is performed through a scanning pattern that may suppress the influence from charge accumulation without having to perform blanking. In order to achieve this objective, a charged particle beam device is proposed wherein a first scan line is scanned by deflecting a charged particle beam in a first direction. The charged particle beam is deflected in a manner where the ending point of the first scan line is connected to the scan starting point of a second scan line which is arranged to be parallel to the first scan line so as to draw a scanning trajectory, thereby modifying the scan line position. The second scan line is scanned by scanning the charged particle beam from the scan starting point of the second scan line toward a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. After scanning the second scan line, the charged particle beam device scans the interior of a first frame by repeating the scan line position modification and the scanning of the charged particle beam toward the opposite direction. After scanning the first frame, the charged particle beam device starts the scanning of a second frame with the scan ending point contained within the first frame serving as the scan starting point.

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charged particle beam device with which it is possible to minimize the beam irradiation amount while maintaining a high measurement success rate. The present invention is a charged particle beam device provided with a control device for controlling a scan deflector on the basis of selection of a predetermined number n of frames, wherein the control device controls the scan deflector so that a charged particle beam is selectively scanned on a portion on a sample corresponding to a pixel satisfying a predetermined condition or a region including the portion on the sample from an image obtained by scanning the charged particle beam for a number m of frames (m≧1), the number m of frames being smaller than the number n of frames.

    Abstract: A charged-particle beam system comprises: a charged-particle beam device containing a detection unit for detecting electrons generated by irradiating a sample with a charged-particle beam released from a charged particle source; and a signal detection unit in which a detection signal from the detection unit is input through a wiring. The signal detection unit comprises: a separation unit for separating into a rising signal and a falling signal the detection signal from the detection unit; a falling signal processing unit for at least eliminating ringing in the falling signal; and a combination unit generating and delivering a combined signal produced by combining the rising signal, which has been separated by the separation unit, with the falling signal wherefrom the ringing has been eliminated by the falling signal processing unit.

    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a charged particle beam apparatus capable of achieving both acquisition of an image having high resolution of an inspection target pattern and suppression of a beam irradiation amount when a specific pattern is an inspection target from a highly integrated pattern group. In order to achieve the object, a charged particle beam apparatus is proposed in which at least one of a stage and a deflector is controlled so as to move a field of view from a reference position to an inspection or measurement target pattern, the number of objects included in a first image obtained by scanning a position of the field of view in a moving process of the field of view with a charged particle beam of a first irradiation condition is counted, and in a case where the number of the objects satisfies a predetermined condition, a second image is generated based on scanning with a charged particle beam of a second irradiation condition of a higher dose than that of the first irradiation condition.
