    摘要: A high-resolution sample image is acquired by eliminating both of charge over an entire sample (global charge) and charge in a local region irradiated with a primary charged particle beam (local charge). An electrode unit (50) according to the present invention is used in a charged particle beam device. The electrode unit (50) includes a plate electrode disposed facing an insulator sample between an objective lens and the sample, and further includes: a first charge-neutralization charged particle beam source which emits a first charged particle beam to eliminate local charge on the sample; and a second charge-neutralization charged particle beam source (25) which emits a second charged particle beam to eliminate global charge on the sample. A first hole (53) through which a primary charged particle beam passes, and a second hole through which the second charged particle beam is emitted are provided in the plate electrode, and the first and second charge-neutralization charged particle beam sources are disposed at such positions as not to interfere with each other. The charged particle beam emitted from the first charge-neutralization charged particle beam source is introduced in the vicinity of the first hole (53).

    摘要: The invention relates to a technique of improving a contrast of a lower-layer pattern in a multi layer by synthesizing detected signals from a plurality of detectors by using an appropriate allocation ratio in accordance with pattern arrangement. In a charged particle beam device capable of improving image quality by using detected images obtained from a plurality of detectors and in a method of improving the image quality, a method of generating one or more output images from detected images corresponding to respective outputs of the detectors that are arranged at different locations is controlled by using information of a pattern direction, an edge strength, or others calculated from a design data or the detected image. In this manner, a detection area of the detected signals can be expanded by using the plurality of detectors, and the image quality such as the contrast can be improved by synthesizing the detected signals by using the pattern direction or the edge strength calculated from the design data or the detected images.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for measuring a potential on a surface of a sample using a charged particle beam while restraining a change in the potential on the sample induced by the charged particle beam application, or detecting a compensation value for a change in a condition for the apparatus caused by the sample being electrically charged. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for applying a voltage to a sample so that a charged particle beam does not reach the sample (hereinafter, this may be referred to as “mirror state”) in a state in which the charged particle beam is applied toward the sample, and detecting information relating to a potential on the sample using signals obtained by that voltage application.
