    摘要: A process for forming electrodes for semiconductor devices having a semiconductor substrate and an electrically conductive portion covered and protected by an electrically insulating coating. The process includes the steps of forming an electrically conductive film on the electrically insulating coating, forming an electrode to be connected to an external circuit on the electrically conductive film at a position overlying the electrically conductive portion by exposing portions of the electrically insulating coating and the first electrically conductive film to a converged ion beam, electrically connecting the electrode to the exposed portions of the electrically conductive film, and removing the portions of the electrically conductive film not covered by the electrode. As a result, the likelihood of breakdown of the internal circuit of the semiconductor device connected to the electrically conductive portion while the electrode is being formed is greatly reduced.

    摘要: In a method for identifying blistered film in layered films, a focused ion beam irradiates the approximate center of the blister and a portion which has no blister, and individual sets of the measurement data relating to the respective numbers of secondary electrons generated by the irradiation are compared to determine which film of layered films has blistered. Since the focused ion beam is employed, the present method is applicable to the detection of a small blister in layered films. Furthermore, since an enormous number of cutting operations as might have been required in the prior art are eliminated, the present method can be carried out, stably, positively and economically.

    摘要: A coarse adjusting device for coarsely positioning a specimen and a probe relative to each other in a scanning tunneling microscope has a main body having a hollow space formed therein, transmission member extending through the hollow space of the main body and screwed at its one end to the main body so as to be moved in one and the other directions as it is rotated about its axis. The transmission member is provided at its portion within the hollow space with a tapered peripheral surface. The coarse adjusting device also has a coarsely-movable member disposed for movement in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the transmission member. The coarsely-movable member has one end contacting the tapered surface of the transmission member within the hollow space and the other end extended to the outside of the main body for carrying an object such as a specimen.
