摘要:
An electron beam which can transmit through part of a specimen and can reach a portion not exposing to the electron beam is irradiated and a scanning image is obtained on the basis of a signal secondarily generated from a portion irradiated with the electron beam. Dimension-measuring start and end points are set on the scanning image and a dimension therebetween is measured. A cubic model is assumed, the cubic model is modified so as to match the scanning image, and dimension measurement is carried out on the basis of a modified cubic model.

A technique for displaying a scanned specimen image permits non-destructive observation of a surface structure having large or precipitous unevenness, an internal structure of a specimen or a specific structure of a defect or foreign matter, which non-destructive observation has hitherto been considered to be difficult to achieve. The technique can be applied to inspection and measurement so as to economically provide devices and parts of high quality and high reliability. Thus, secondary information such as secondary electrons resulting from interaction of primary information with a specimen, the primary information being generated as a result of interaction of a scanning electron beam with the specimen, is utilized as an image signal to form an image.

An electron beam, which can transmit through part of a specimen and can reach a portion that is not exposed to the electron beam, is irradiated, and a scanning image is obtained on the basis of a signal secondarily generated from a portion irradiated with the electron beam. Dimension-measuring start and end points are set on the scanning image and a dimension therebetween is measured. A three-dimensional model is assumed, the three-dimensional model is modified so as to match the scanning image, and dimension measurement is carried out on the basis of a modified three-dimensional model.

An SEM can inspect a groove or hole in the surface of a specimen by irradiating the specimen with a high energy electron beam. The SEM is used in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device to observe the configuration of the bottom of a deep hole.

An array light source 1 with semiconductor laser sources disposed one-dimensionally and a projective lens 2 are used to illuminate an inspected object so that light beams projected from the array light source form a dotted line on the object. A line sensor is used to receive through an objective lens 3 light emitted from an imaging area 11 away from an illuminated area 12. An image signal, fed to an image processing unit 8 through a pre-processing unit 7 producing an image from signals from the line sensor 4 and a stage 5 is processed, while the stage 5 bearing the object 6 is being gradually moved, to inspect the object 6 for crack defects 9 and 10 by detecting an optically nonhomogeneous portion of the object. The method allows a crack defect of an object, such as a ceramic substrate or a sintered metal product, to be detected fast with high accuracy.

An optical encoder including a light source and a first grating plate having a first diffraction grating for diffracting a light beam emitted from the light source. The optical encoder further includes a second grating plate having a second diffraction grating including a blazed diffraction grating for further diffracting the light beam diffracted by the first diffraction grating so as to allow the light beam to be incident on the first grating plate. The optical encoder also includes a light-receiving portion for receiving the light beam reentering the first grating plate and diffracted by the first grating plate. The second diffraction grating is designed so that the greater part of the diffracted light is concentrated in diffracted light beam of a predetermined order among the light beams from the first diffraction grating, and the diffracted light beam of the predetermined order travels from the second diffraction grating in a direction which is parallel with a direction in which the light beam is incident on the second diffraction grating from the first grating plate. The light-receiving portion generates an electric signal in accordance with an amount of plus and minus mth-order diffracted light beams of the further diffracted light beam.

The present invention provides an inspecting method and an apparatus therefor. A light illuminates an object to be inspected having optical diffusive characteristics such as a ceramics plate. A part of the light diffuses in the object from an illumination area is reflected at or passes through a defect such as a crack and reaches an imaging area. An image sensor detects the image of the imaging area. A signal showing a larger change is processed thereby to inspect the defect. The object is displaced stepwise relative to the light source and the image sensor. Thus, a crack or the like in an object can be inspected with high accuracy and at a high speed.
