The present invention relates to an orbit correction method for a charged particle beam, and aims to solve problems inherent in conventional aberration correction systems and to provide a low-cost, high-precision, high-resolution optical converging system for a charged particle beam. To this end, employed is a configuration in which a beam orbit is limited in ring zone form to form a distribution of electromagnetic field converging toward the center of a beam orbit axis. Consequently, a nonlinear action outwardly augmented, typified by spherical aberration of an electron lens, can be cancelled out. Specifically, this effect can be achieved by an electron disposed on the axis and subjected to a voltage to facilitate the occurrence of electrostatic focusing. For a magnetic field, this effect can be achieved by forming a coil radially distributed-wound on a surface equiangularly divided in the direction of rotation to control convergence of a magnetic flux density.

A charged particle beam apparatus is provided which has high resolving power and a wide scanning region (observation field of view). The apparatus has a unit for adjusting the focus, a unit for adjusting astigmatism, a unit for controlling and detecting scanning positions and a controller operative to control the focus adjustment and astigmatism adjustment at a time in interlocked relation to the scanning positions, thereby assuring compatibility between the high resolving power and the observation view field of a wide area.

A calendar electronic timepiece comprises a signal generating circuit for generating a date signal, a driving circuit for outputting a driving signal in accordance with the date signal generated by the signal generating circuit, and an ultrasonic motor driven by the driving signal outputted by the driving circuit. The ultrasonic motor is comprised of a piezoelectric vibrator having an electrode pattern and being driven by the driving signal outputted from the driving circuit to undergo expansion and contraction movement, a vibrating member connected to the piezoelectric vibrator and vibrationally driven by expansion and contraction movement of the piezoelectric vibrator, and a date dial disposed on the vibrating member to be frictionally driven by expansion and contraction movement of the piezoelectric vibrator.

A charged particle beam apparatus can be constructed with a smaller size (resulting in a small installation space) and a lower cost, suppress vibration, operate at higher speed, and be reliable in inspection. The charged particle beam apparatus is largely effective when a wafer having a large diameter is used. The charged particle beam apparatus includes: a plurality of inspection mechanisms, each of which is mounted on a vacuum chamber and has a charged particle beam mechanism for performing at least an inspection on the sample; a single-shaft transfer mechanism that moves the sample between the inspection mechanisms in the direction of an axis of the single-shaft transfer mechanism; and a rotary stage that mounts the sample thereon and has a rotational axis on the single-shaft transfer mechanism. The single-shaft transfer mechanism moves the sample between the inspection mechanisms in order that the sample is placed under any of the inspection mechanisms. The rotary stage positions the sample such that a target portion of the sample can be inspected by the inspection mechanism under which the sample is placed, and the inspection mechanisms inspect the sample.

Disclosed is a vaccine which has a high therapeutic effect on mycoplasma infection and is highly safe. For the purpose of developing effective therapeutic methods for mycoplasma infection, mycoplasma-mimic particles which are effective as a vaccine for mycoplasma infection are provided, and also provided are bacterium-mimic particles including common bacteria. Bacterium-mimic particles such as mycoplasma-mimic particles can be provided by producing liposome particles in which a lipid antigen specific to a pathogenic bacterium such as mycoplasma is contained as a liposome-constituting lipid component. The administration of the mycoplasma-mimic particles enables the induction of a potent immunological activity in living bodies. The mycoplasma-mimic particles can be used as an excellent vaccine for the prevention or treatment of mycoplasma infection.

A semiconductor wafer inspection tool and a semiconductor wafer inspection method capable of conducting an inspection under appropriate conditions in any one of an NVC (Negative Voltage Contrast) mode and a PVC (Positive Voltage Contrast) mode is provided. Primary electrons 2 are irradiated onto a wafer to be inspected 6 and the irradiation position thereof is scanned in an XY direction. Secondary electrons (or reflected electrons) 10 from the wafer to be inspected 6 are controlled by a charge control electrode 5 and detected by a sensor 11. An image processor converts a detection signal from the sensor 11 to a detected image, compares the detected image with a predetermined reference image, judges defects, an overall control section 14 selects inspection conditions from recipe information for each wafer to be inspected 6 and sets a voltage to be applied to the charge control electrode 5. A Z stage 8 sets the distance between the wafer to be inspected 6 and the charge control electrode 5 according to this voltage.
