摘要:
The electron beam apparatus sample holding means has a diaphragm which is placed on upper and lower sides of a sample to form a cell for separating a gas atmosphere and a vacuum atmosphere of a sample chamber and sealing an ambient atmosphere of the sample; a gas supply means for supplying gas to an inside of the cell; and exhaust means for exhausting gas. The exhaust means includes a gas exhaust pipe provided in the inside of the cell and an openable/closable exhaust hole provided in a sidewall of the sample holding means so as to pass through the cell. The diaphragm is an amorphous film made of light elements which can transmit an electron beam, such as carbon films, oxide films, and nitride films.

摘要:
A focused ion beam system capable of acquiring surface structure information, internal structure information, and internal composition information about a sample simultaneously from the same field of view of the sample. A method of sample preparation and observation employs such focused ion beam system to accurately set a sample processing position based on information about the structure and composition of the sample acquired from multiple directions of the sample, and to process and observe the sample. The system includes, in order to acquire the sample structure and composition information simultaneously, a secondary electron detector, a transmission electron detector, and an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope or an electron energy loss spectroscope, and employs a stub having the sample rotating and tilting function. The method includes a marking process.

An electron beam device is provided with an electron beam diffraction image analysis section for calculation of the lattice distance from the diffraction image taken into by the TV camera for observation of the electron beam diffraction image, the EDX analysis section for acquiring a composition of the material, the data base for retrieval of material characterization, and the material characterization section having the data base retrieval function. The material characterization section characterizes the material by retrieving the retrieval data base, based upon the lattice distance data transferred from the electron beam diffraction image analysis section and the element data transferred from the EDX analysis sectio.

An object of the invention is to provide an electron beam device and a sample holding device for the electron beam device that can observe the reaction between a sample and a gas at high resolution while a gas atmosphere is maintained even by using thin diaphragms.To solve one of the problems described above, in an electron beam device having the function of separately exhausting an electron beam irradiation portion of an optical column, a sample chamber and an observation chamber, a gas supply means for supplying a gas to a sample and an exhaust means for exhausting a gas are provided to sample holding means, diaphragms are disposed above and below the sample to separate the gas atmosphere and vacuum of the sample chamber and to constitute a cell sealing the atmosphere around the sample, and a mechanism for spraying a gas is provided to the outside of the diaphragms. The gas sprayed outside the diaphragms has low electron beam scattering performance such as hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen. The diaphragm is an amorphous film formed of a light element such as a carbon film, an oxide film and a nitride film capable of transmitting the electron beam.
摘要:
Disclosed is a charged particle radiation apparatus capable of capturing a change in a sample due to gaseous atmosphere, light irradiation, heating or the like without exposing the sample to atmosphere. The present invention relates to a sample holder provided with a sample stage that is rotatable around a rotation axis perpendicular to an electron beam irradiation direction, the sample holder being capable of forming an airtight chamber around the sample stage. A sample is allowed to chemically react in any atmosphere, and three-dimensional analysis on the reaction is enabled. A sample liable to change in atmosphere can be three-dimensionally analyzed without exposing the sample to the atmosphere.
