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: The present invention provides a charged particle beam device capable of predicting the three-dimensional structure of a sample, without affecting the charge of the sample. The present invention provides a charged particle beam device characterized in that a first distance between the peak and the bottom of a first signal waveform obtained on the basis of irradiation with a charged particle beam having a first landing energy, and a second distance between the peak and the bottom of a second signal waveform obtained on the basis of irradiation with a charged particle beam having a second landing energy different from the first landing energy are obtained, and the distance between the peak and the bottom at a landing energy (zero, for instance) different from the first and second landing energies is obtained on the basis of the extrapolation of the first distance and the second distance.

摘要: An object of the invention is to provide a scanning electron microscope which forms an electric field to lift up, highly efficiently, electrons discharged from a hole bottom or the like even if a sample surface is an electrically conductive material. To achieve the above object, according to the invention, a scanning electron microscope including a deflector which deflects a scanning position of an electron beam, and a sample stage for loading a sample thereon, is proposed. The scanning electron microscope includes a control device which controls the deflector or the sample stage in such a way that before scanning a beam on a measurement target pattern, a lower layer pattern situated in a lower layer of the measurement target pattern undergoes beam irradiation on another pattern situated in the lower layer.

摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charged particle ray device which is capable of simply estimating the cross-sectional shape of a pattern. The charged particle ray device according to the present invention acquires a detection signal for each different discrimination condition of an energy discriminator, and estimates the cross-sectional shape of a sample by comparing the detection signal for each discrimination condition with a reference pattern (see FIG. 5).

摘要: Provided is a charged particle beam device that enables, even if a visual field includes therein a plurality of regions having different secondary electron emission conditions, the setting of appropriate energy filter conditions adapted to each of these regions. The charged particle beam device is equipped with a detector for detecting charged particles obtained on the basis of scanning, over a sample, a charged particle beam emitted from a charged particle source, and an energy filter for filtering by energy the charged particles emitted from the sample. Index values are determined for the plurality of regions contained within the scanning region of the charged particle beam, and, for each of a plurality of energy filter conditions, differences are calculated between the plurality of index values and the reference index values that have been set for each of the plurality of regions.
