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.

A charged particle beam apparatus facilitating adjusting a 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 first processing step for measuring the sensitivity of the aligner and a second processing step 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 determines the aligner set values, using the aligner sensitivity measured in the first processing step and the amount of deviation detected in the second processing step, such that the primary charged particle beam passes through the center of the objective aperture and controls the aligner using the aligner set values.
摘要:
A small-sized charged particle beam apparatus capable of maintaining high vacuum even during emission of an electron beam is provided. A nonevaporative getter pump is placed upstream of differential pumping of an electron optical system of the charged particle beam apparatus, and a minimum number of ion pumps are placed downstream, so that both the pumps are used in combination. Further, by mounting a detachable coil on an electron gun part, the inside of a column can be maintained under high vacuum with a degree of vacuum in the order of 10−8 Pa.
摘要:
In a defect inspection apparatus which combines a plurality of probes for measuring electric properties of a specimen including a fine circuit line pattern with a charged particle beam apparatus, the charged particle beam apparatus reduces a degradation in resolution even with an image-shift of ±75 μm or more. The defect inspection apparatus has a CAD navigation function associated with an image-shift function. The CAD navigation function uses coordinates for converting an image-shift moving amount to a DUT stage moving amount in communications between an image processing unit for processing charged particle beam images and a memory for storing information on circuit line patterns. The defect inspection provides the user with significantly improved usability.
