    摘要: A small-dimension measurement system by scanning electron beam comprises an electron optical column including an electron source for emitting an electron beam to scan a sample, at least one pair of detectors disposed symmetrically with respect to an optical axis of the electron optical column for detecting position information from the sample by scanning of the electron beam, and a signal selecting circuit for subjecting the outputs of the paired detectors to a predetermined signal selection. The signal selecting circuit selectively and alternately provides maximum or peak portions of the outputs of the paired detectors which portions correspond to opposite edge portions of the sample. The output of the signal selecting circuit is applied to a signal processing circuit for conversion into a dimension of a predetermined pattern on the sample.

    摘要: An electron beam is irradiated on a sample to generate secondary electrons from the sample, the secondary electrons are detected by a secondary electron detector through a retarding grid to provide a secondary electron detector output signal, the relation is acquired in advance between a known sample voltage and a value (normalized secondary electron signal for the known sample voltage) resulting from dividing a differential value of the secondary electron detector output signal at a retarding grid voltage by the secondary electron detector output signal, and this relation is retrieved with a normalized secondary electron signal obtained with an unknown sample voltage to determine an absolute value of the unknown sample voltage.

    摘要: A magnetic field measuring apparatus measures the magnetic field intensity of a magnetic field created by a sample magnetic head by passing a finely focussed charged particle beam through the magnetic field and by measuring the deflection of the charged particle beam caused by the deflecting action of the magnetic field on the charged particle beam. The path of the charged particle beam (the sample magnetic head) is shifted stepwise toward the sample magnetic head (the path of the charged particle beam) until the charged particle impinges on the surface of the sample magnetic head. Upon the detection of the impingement of the charged particle beam on the surface of the sample magnetic head, the path of the charged particle beam (the sample magnetic head) is put one step back so that the path of the charged particle beam extends as close as possible to the surface of the sample magnetic head for accurate magnetic field intensity measurements. Thus, the distribution of magnetic field intensity in the magnetic field can be accurately determined.
