    摘要: The present invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus which employs LVSEM to inspect sample surface with a throughput much higher than the prior art. The high throughput is realized by providing a probe current and a FOV both several times of those of the prior art. Accordingly several means are proposed to avoid obvious degradation of image resolution due to the increases in Coulomb effect and geometric aberrations, and increase efficiency and uniformity of secondary charged particle collection.

    摘要: The present invention provides a dual-beam apparatus which employs the dark-field e-beam inspection method to inspect small particles on a surface of a sample such as wafer and mask with high throughput. The dual beam apparatus comprises two single-beam dark-field units placed in a same vacuum chamber and in two different orientations. The two single-beam dark-field units can perform the particle inspection separately or almost simultaneously by means of the alternately-scanning way. The invention also proposes a triple-beam apparatus for both inspecting and reviewing particles on a sample surface within the same vacuum chamber. The triple-beam apparatus comprises one foregoing dual-beam apparatus performing the particle inspection and one high-resolution SEM performing the particle review.
