摘要:
The present invention is based on the property that the electric and magnetic fields are independent of each other and normal to each other and the property that the deflection of a charged particle beam by the electromagnetic field follows the rule of linear combination. The present invention employs a system that creates a region in which there exist both electromagnetic field and controls the deflection of a charged particle beam in each of the electric and magnetic fields.

Disclosed are an electron beam biprism device and an electron beam device, in which, in order to implement a fringe scan method in an electron beam interferometer, a deflection function in one direction is added to the function of an electron beam biprism, and electron beams passing the left and right sides of a filament electrode can be respectively deflected at different angles.

Charged particle beam equipment having a rotary mechanism in which shift of the observing/machining position incident to the rotary operation of the equipment having the rotary mechanism can be corrected conveniently with high precision in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical system of charged particle beam or in a slightly inclining plane. An X-Y shift incident to rotation in a plane is determined from the angular information of a rotary mechanism such as a sample holder, diaphragms or biprisms in the charged particle beam equipment, and then driving or controlling is performed to cancel the X-Y shift.

A double-biprism electron interferometer is an optical system which dramatically increases the degree of freedom of a conventional one-stage electron interferometer. The double biprism interferometer, however, is the same as the optical system of the single electron biprism in terms of the one-dimensional shape of an electron hologram formed by filament electrodes, the direction of an interference area, and the azimuth of the interference fringes. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the interference area is determined corresponding to the direction of the filament electrodes, and the azimuth of the interference fringes only coincides with and is in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the interference area. An interferometer according to the present invention has upper-stage and lower-stage electron biprisms, and operates with an azimuth angle Φ between filament electrodes of the upper-stage and lower-stage electron biprisms to arbitrarily control an interference area and an azimuth θ of the interference fringes formed therein.

An interferometer is disclosed which has upper-stage, intermediate-stage, and lower-stage electron biprisms. The disclosed interferometer operates with an azimuth angle Φ among filament electrodes of the three electron biprisms to arbitrarily control an interference area and an azimuth θ of the interference fringes formed therein, eliminates Fresnel fringes generation, and allows independent control of an interference fringe spacing s and the azimuth θ of the interference fringes.
摘要:
The present invention provides a technique enabling to control fringe spacing s and an interference width W independently of each other, which are important parameters for an interferometer using an electron biprism.In the present invention, two electron biprisms 9u, 9b are used in two stages along the optical axis, and fringe spacing s and an interference width W are controlled independently of each other by controlling a voltage applied to an electrode of each of the electron biprisms. Also Fresnel diffraction can be suppressed.

摘要:
A first electron biprism is disposed in a condenser optical system and an observation region of a specimen is irradiated simultaneously with two electron beams of different angles. The two electron beams that have simultaneously transmitted the specimen are spatially separated and focused with a second electron biprism disposed in an imaging optical system and two electron microscopic images of different irradiation angles are obtained. The two picture images are obtained by a detecting unit. Based on the two picture images, a stereoscopic image or two images having different kinds of information of the specimen is/are produced and displayed on a display device.
