Abstract:
A mass spectrometry method that corrects the effects from space charge and that achieves both sensitivity and a dynamic range. The mass axis of the mass spectrum is corrected based on the counts of ions accumulated within the ion trap at the point in time each ion was extracted.
Abstract:
In the spectrometer, heavy loads are arranged centrally inside a case having a height smaller than a width, and having a depth smaller than the height. The heavy loads include a vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump which evacuates the vacuum chamber, a sample introduction unit which introduces a sample to be measured and evaporates the sample, an ionization unit which ionizes the evaporated sample and provides it to the vacuum chamber, and an ion detection unit which is connected to the vacuum chamber. Circuit board storage units which store a plurality of circuit boards with a predetermined space therebetween are formed on both sides along a width direction of the case.
Abstract:
An analyzer performs dielectric barrier discharge and ionization of a sample by a reaction between the sample and excited molecules or ions generated by the dielectric barrier discharge at a pressure lower than an atmospheric pressure.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometer including a sample attaching member of attaching a sample, an ionizing chamber including an introductory port of the sample attaching member and an ionization source of generating a sample ion, a vacuumed chamber having a mass analyzer of analyzing the sample ion, and an opening/closing mechanism provided between the ionizing chamber and the vacuumed chamber, in which the opening/closing mechanism is controlled from a closed state to an open state after introducing the sample attaching member into the ionizing chamber to thereby enable to perform ionization with inconsiderable fragmentation at a high sensitivity with a high throughput
Abstract:
(1) part or all of the number, coordinates and size/shape and imaging sequence of imaging points each for observation, the imaging position change method and imaging conditions can be calculated automatically from CAD data, (2) a combination of input information and output information for imaging recipe creation can be set arbitrarily, and (3) decision is made of imaging or processing at an arbitrary imaging point as to whether to be successful/unsuccessful and in case a failure is determined, a relief process can be conducted in which the imaging point or imaging sequence is changed.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometer of reduced size and weight is provided which is capable to conduct highly accurate mass spectroscopy. The mass spectrometer includes an ion source adapted to ionize gas flowing in from outside in order to ionize a measurement sample and a mass spectroscopy section for separating the ionized measurement sample. The ion source has its interior reduced in pressure by differential pumping from the mass spectroscopy section and ionizes the gas when the interior pressure rises as it inhales the gas, and the mass spectroscopy section separates the ionized measurement sample when its interior pressure falls after inhale of the gas. The mass spectrometer may further include a restriction device for suppressing a flow rate of the gas the ion source inhales and an open/close device for opening and closing a flow of the gas the ion source inhales.

Abstract:
A pattern matching method which is capable of selecting a suitable measurement object pattern, even on a sample containing a periodic structure, and a computer program for making a computer execute the pattern matching. In a pattern matching method which executes matching between the design data-based first image of an object sample, and a second image, whether or not a periodic structure is included in a region to execute the matching is determined, so as to select a pattern, based on distance between an original point which is set in said image, and the pattern configuring said periodic structure, in the case where the periodic structure is included in said region, and to select a pattern based on coincidence of the pattern in said image, in the case where the periodic structure is not included in said region, and a computer program product.
Abstract:
An image forming method and a charged particle beam apparatus suitable for suppressing the inclination of charging when scanning a two-dimensional area with a charged particle beam. A third scanning line located between a first scanning line and a second scanning line is scanned. After the first, second and third scanning lines have been scanned, a plurality of scanning lines are scanned between the first and third scanning lines and between the second and third scanning lines.
Abstract:
Mutual compatibility is established between the measurement with a high magnification and the measurement in a wide region. A pattern measurement apparatus is proposed which adds identification information to each of fragments that constitute a pattern within an image obtained by the SEM, and which stores the identification information in a predetermined storage format. Here, the identification information is added to each fragment for distinguishing between one fragment and another fragment. According to the above-described configuration, it turns out that the identification information is added to each fragment on the SEM image which has possessed no specific identification information originally. As a result, it becomes possible to implement the SEM-image management based on the identification information.
