    摘要: Provided is a charged particle beam apparatus, aiming at obtaining an image and the like focused on the sample surface and the bottom while preventing the visual field deviation occurred when focusing on the sample surface and the bottom respectively. The charged particle beam apparatus forms a first image (301), which is based on detection of the first energy charged particles, based on an irradiation with a beam whose focus is adjusted on a sample surface side, forms a second image (304) which is based on detection of second energy charged particles having a relatively higher energy than the first energy and a third image (303) which is based on the detection of the first energy charged particles, based on the irradiation with a beam whose focus is adjusted on a bottom side of a pattern included in the sample, acquires a deviation between the first image and the third image, and composes the first image and the second image so as to correct the deviation.

    摘要: The objective of the present invention is to provide a charged particle beam device wherein scanning is performed through a scanning pattern that may suppress the influence from charge accumulation without having to perform blanking. In order to achieve this objective, a charged particle beam device is proposed wherein a first scan line is scanned by deflecting a charged particle beam in a first direction. The charged particle beam is deflected in a manner where the ending point of the first scan line is connected to the scan starting point of a second scan line which is arranged to be parallel to the first scan line so as to draw a scanning trajectory, thereby modifying the scan line position. The second scan line is scanned by scanning the charged particle beam from the scan starting point of the second scan line toward a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. After scanning the second scan line, the charged particle beam device scans the interior of a first frame by repeating the scan line position modification and the scanning of the charged particle beam toward the opposite direction. After scanning the first frame, the charged particle beam device starts the scanning of a second frame with the scan ending point contained within the first frame serving as the scan starting point.
