    摘要: An ion implantation system measurement system has a scan arm that rotates about an axis and a workpiece support to translate a workpiece through the ion beam. A first measurement component downstream of the scan arm provides a first signal from the ion beam. A second measurement component with a mask is coupled to the scan arm to provide a second signal from the ion beam with the rotation of the scan arm. The mask permits varying amounts of the ion radiation from the ion beam to enter a Faraday cup based on an angular orientation between the mask and the ion beam. A blocking plate selectively blocks the ion beam to the first faraday based on the rotation of the scan arm. A controller determines an angle and vertical size of the ion beam based on the first signal, second signal, and orientation between the mask and ion beam as the second measurement component rotates.

A primary electron beam 1 which passes through the local electric field formed near the sample 2 is deflected by the local electric field, secondary electrons which are generated and emitted from a detection element provided downstream of an orbit of the deflected primary electron beam 1 are detected by a secondary electron detector 6, and an image formed based on the detected signal and a scanning electron beam image obtained by scanning the sample 2 are synthesized thus visualizing the distribution of the local electric field in multiple tones. Due to such an operation, it is possible to provide a method for visualizing the distribution of a local electric field in which the distribution of a local electric field can be obtained in multiple tone and in real time by performing image scanning one time using a usual electron beam scanning optical system.

    摘要: The present invention was made in view of a problem of an electron microscope in which a reduction in detection efficiency of electrons detected by a detector should be prevented by eliminating any influence of a leakage magnetic field through a gap in an objective lens onto the electrons emitted from a specimen. To solve the problem, the present invention provides an electron microscope having a configuration with: a pole piece electrode for accelerating primary electrons emitted at an electrons source; and an objective lens including the pole piece electrode. In the objective lens, an electrically and magnetically insulated gap is formed between the pole piece electrode and other pole piece, and an auxiliary coil is concentrically disposed with the objective lens at a middle position between the gap and a detection surface of the electron detector, with an electric current flowing through the auxiliary coil in the opposite direction from that of an electric current flowing through the objective lens coil.

    摘要: An electron beam apparatus having a longer life time of cathode, and allowing a plurality of electron beams to be arranged adequately around an optical axis and five or more electron beams to be formed from a single electron gun. The electron beams emitted from a cathode made of ZrO/W (tungsten zirconium oxide) or a cathode made of carbide of transition metal to the off-optical axis directions may be converged on a sample to scan it. The apparatus includes a plate for reducing a vacuum conductance defined between the electron gun chamber side and the sample side, and apertures are formed through the plate at locations offset from the optical axis allowing for the passage of the electron beams. In order to evaluate a pattern on the sample, the electron beam emitted from the electron gun is incident to the sample surface via an objective lens. The objective lens is composed of a flat electrode having an aperture centered on the optical axis and placed in parallel with the sample surface and an electromagnetic lens including a gap formed in a side facing to the sample. Further, in order to inspect a mask, spacing among a plurality of electron beams after having passed through the mask are extended by a magnifying lens and thus widely spaced electron beams are then converted into optical signal in a scintillator.
