Charged particle beam device and charged particle beam device noise source determination method
Abstract:
Provided is a charged particle beam device to enable determination of a noise source of a charged particle beam device that can cause a noise frequency component superimposed on a measurement image. The charged particle beam device includes a unit that extracts information regarding a noise source. The unit that extracts information regarding a noise source includes: a control signal monitoring unit that observes a control signal of a control unit which controls an electron optical system of the charged particle beam device and outputs the observed signal; a first frequency conversion processing unit that executes frequency conversion processing on the signal output from the control signal monitoring unit; a second frequency conversion processing unit that executes frequency conversion processing on an image signal output from a detector of the electron optical system; and a frequency analysis and comparison processing unit that receives an output signal of the first frequency conversion processing unit and an image signal of the second frequency conversion processing unit, and associates a peak frequency of a superimposed noise of the image signal with a noise source of the control unit which generates a noise having a peak frequency corresponding to the peak frequency of the superimposed noise within the image signal.
