    摘要: Disconnection defects, short-circuit defects and the like in wiring patters of submicron sizes within TEGs (a square of 1 to 2.5 mm for each) numerously arranged in a large chip (a square of 20 to 25 mm) can be inspected with respect to all the TEGs, with good operability, high reliability and high efficiency. A conductor probe for applying voltage to the wiring patterns by mechanical contact is composed of synchronous type conductor probe that synchronizes with movement of a sample stage (16), and fixed type conductor probe means (21) that is relatively fixed to an FIB generator (10). Positions of probe tips are superimposed to an SIM image and displayed on a display unit (19).

    摘要: Observation using an FIB image is enabled without causing any damage to a designated region. To this end, an ion beam scanning-prohibited region is set in a sample by using an image acquired by a charged particle beam other than an ion beam, or an image prepared as external data as a peripheral image including the designated region of a sample. Thereafter, the image used to set the ion beam scanning-prohibited region is exactly superimposed on an FIB image acquired for regions except the ion beam scanning-prohibited region, thereby forming an image including the ion beam scanning-prohibited region on which ion beam scanning has not been performed.

    摘要: Disclosed is an operation for an optical system which achieves observation of focused ion beam processing equivalent to that in a case wherein a sample stage is tilted mechanically. In a focused ion beam optical system, an aperture, a tilting deflector, a beam scanner, and an objective lens are controlled so as to irradiate an ion beam tilted to the optical axis of the optical system, thereby achieving thin film processing and a cross section processing without accompanying adjustment and operation for a sample stage. The thin film processing and the cross section processing with a focused ion beam can be automated, and yield can be improved. For example, by applying the present invention to a cross section monitor to detect an end point, the cross section processing can be easily automated.

    摘要: A sample inspection apparatus in which a fault in a semiconductor sample can be measured and analyzed efficiently. A plurality of probes are brought into contact with the sample. The sample is irradiated with an electron beam while a current flowing through the probes is measured. Signals from at least two probes are supplied to an image processing unit so as to form an absorbed electron current image. A difference between images obtained in accordance with a temperature change of the sample is obtained. A faulty point is identified from the difference between the images.
