    摘要: In a scanning electron microscope, a reflection plate at ground potential is provided in a specimen chamber and backscattering electrons given off from a specimen impinge on the reflection plate to generate subsidiary electrons. An electric field supply electrode applied with a positive voltage of +100 to +500V is arranged in a gap defined by the reflection plate and a specimen stage. A first detection electrode is arranged to detect ion current attributable to backscattering electrons and a second detection electrode is arranged to detect current representative of coexistence of ion currents attributable to secondary electron and backscattering electron. The scanning electron microscope constructed as above can achieve simultaneous separation/detection of secondary electron and backscattering electron.

    摘要: The present invention provides a scanning charged particle beam device including a sample chamber (8) and a detector. The detector has: a function of detecting light at least ranging from the vacuum ultraviolet region to the visible light region, of light (17) having image information which is obtained by a light emission phenomenon of gas scintillation when the sample chamber is controlled to a low vacuum (1 Pa to 3,000 Pa); and a function of detecting ion currents (11, 13) having image information which are obtained by cascade amplification of electrons and gas molecules. Accordingly, it becomes possible to realize a device which can deal with observation of various samples. Further, an optimal configuration of the detection unit is devised, to thereby make it possible to add value to an obtained image and provide users in wide-ranging fields with the observation image. In addition, the detector is made usable in combination with a detector for high vacuum, to thereby make it possible to provide wide-ranging users with the image, irrespective of the vacuum mode.

    摘要: A charged particle beam impinging on a specimen is set to have left and right tilt angles corresponding to a parallactic angle. A control unit is provided which scans the beam over the specimen while giving a left tilt and a right tilt corresponding to the parallactic angle alternately to the beam on each scanning line. In this way, images are acquired. A three-dimensional image in which deterioration of the resolution is suppressed is displayed in real time by combining aberration cancellation means with the control of the beam according to the parallactic angle. The aberration cancellation means uses an optical system having plural stages of lenses to provide overall cancellation of aberrations by making use of the action of a lens to deflect the beam back to the optical axis.

    摘要: A scanning electron microscope capable of securing a high ion detection efficiency in spite of a short working distance and the adaptability for high resolution is disclosed. An ion detector for detecting ions is arranged nearer to an electron source than a first pressure limiting aperture for maintaining the specimen chamber in a predetermined vacuum. This configuration makes it possible to achieve the high resolution of the semi-in-lens objective lens on one hand and to detect the ions generated by the collision between the secondary electrons and the gas molecules on the other hand.

    摘要: A charged particle beam apparatus facilitating adjusting the beam center axis of a charged particle beam in a case where optical conditions are modified or in a case where the beam center axis of the charged particle beam is moved due to state variation of the apparatus. When the beam center axis of a primary charged particle beam is adjusted with a deflector (aligner), a processing step (1) for measuring the sensitivity of the aligner and a processing step (2) for detecting the deviation between the center of the primary charged particle beam and the center of the objective aperture are provided. The charged particle beam apparatus has means for determining the aligner set values, using the aligner sensitivity measured in the processing step (1) and the amount of deviation detected in the processing step (2), such that the primary charged particle beam passes through the center of the objective aperture and controlling the aligner using the aligner set values.
