摘要: When adjusting optical axes of a multi-beam charged particle beam device, because parameters of optical systems are inter-dependent, the time required to adjust the parameters increases. Thus, the present invention provides a charged particle beam device provided with an optical parameter setting unit for setting parameters of optical systems for emitting a plurality of primary charged particle beams to a sample, detectors for individually detecting a plurality of secondary charged particle beams discharged from the sample, a plurality of memories for storing signals detected by the detectors and converted into digital pixels in the form of images, evaluation value derivation units for deriving evaluation values of the primary charged particle beams from the images, and a GUI capable of displaying the images and receiving an input from a user, wherein the GUI displays the images and evaluation results based on the evaluation values and changes various optical parameters in real-time.

摘要: 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.

摘要: A multi-beam charged-particle microscope apparatus 100 includes an irradiation system 104 that irradiates a plurality of regions on a surface of a sample 9 with a plurality of beams, a detection system 125 (correction detector 132 and imaging detector 131) that detects emitted electrons from the surface of the sample 9, and a controller 102 that generates a first brightness of a first pixel in a first region based on a first signal of a first detector of a multi-detector 123 and generates a second brightness of a second pixel in a second region based on a second signal of a second detector. A processor of a processor system 103 that can communicate with the charged-particle microscope apparatus 100 specifies a first crosstalk amount from a second emitted electron to the first signal based on the first brightness obtained from the charged-particle microscope apparatus 100 and an output of the correction detector 132 and corrects the first brightness based on the first crosstalk amount.

摘要: The objective of the present invention is to use brightness images acquired under different energy conditions to estimate the size of a defect in the depth direction in a simple manner. A charged-particle beam device according to the present invention determines the brightness ratio for each irradiation position on a brightness image while changing parameters varying the signal amount, estimates the position of the defect in the depth direction on the basis of the parameters at which the brightness ratio is at a minimum, and estimates the size of the defect in the depth direction on the basis of the magnitude of the brightness ratio (see FIG. 5).
