Abstract: The scanning charged particle beam microscope according to the present application is characterized in that, in acquiring an image of the FOV (field of view), interspaced beam irradiation points are set, and then, a deflector is controlled so that a charged particle beam scan is performed faster when the charged particle beam irradiates a position on the sample between each of the irradiation points than when the charged particle beam irradiates a position on the sample corresponding to each of the irradiation points (a position on the sample corresponding to each pixel detecting a signal). This allows the effects from a micro-domain electrification occurring within the FOV to be mitigated or controlled.

Abstract: To measure a depth of a three-dimensional structure, for example, a hole or a groove, formed in a sample without preparing information for each pattern or calibration in advance. The invention provides an electron microscope including a detection unit that detects, among emitted electrons generated from a sample by irradiating the sample with a primary electron beam, emitted electrons of which an emission angle is in a predetermined range, the emission angle being an angle formed between an axial direction of the primary electron beam and an emission direction of the emitted electrons from the sample, and outputs a detection signal corresponding to the number of the emitted electrons which are detected. In the electron microscope, an emission angle distribution of a detection signal is obtained based on a plurality of detection signals output by the detection unit, the detection signals being obtained by detecting the emitted electrons having emission angles in each of the plurality of set ranges of emission angles and generated by irradiating a bottom portion of the three-dimensional structure with the primary electron beam, and an opening angle is obtained based on a change point of the emission angle distribution, the opening angle being an angle formed between an optical axis direction of the primary electron beam and a straight line that passes through an upper end of a side wall of the three-dimensional structure from a position irradiated with the primary electron beam in the bottom portion of the three-dimensional structure.

Abstract: Provided is a charged particle beam device that enables, even if a visual field includes therein a plurality of regions having different secondary electron emission conditions, the setting of appropriate energy filter conditions adapted to each of these regions. The charged particle beam device is equipped with a detector for detecting charged particles obtained on the basis of scanning, over a sample, a charged particle beam emitted from a charged particle source, and an energy filter for filtering by energy the charged particles emitted from the sample. Index values are determined for the plurality of regions contained within the scanning region of the charged particle beam, and, for each of a plurality of energy filter conditions, differences are calculated between the plurality of index values and the reference index values that have been set for each of the plurality of regions.
