2. Description of the Related Art A fluctuating magnetic field, such as a fluctuating magnetic field associated with the movement of a vehicle or an elevator, or an alternating magnetic field generated from a power distribution line, which degrades its analytical performance, is located around a place where a scanning electron microscope or the like is arranged. There are many sources. In order to minimize the adverse effect of such a fluctuating magnetic field, devices for canceling a magnetically shielded room or a disturbance magnetic field have been practically used. As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional disturbance magnetic field canceling device includes a magnetic field detector 51, an amplifier 52, a subtraction circuit 53, a current output circuit 54, and a coil 55 for canceling a disturbance magnetic field. For example, a magnetic field canceling region is formed by surrounding the analyzer 56 with the disturbance magnetic field canceling magnetic field coil 55. The magnetic field detector 51 is located inside the magnetic field canceling area and near the analyzer 56.
It is installed and used. In the figure, reference numeral 57 denotes a source of the above-mentioned disturbance magnetic field. In the above device, the magnetic field generated by the disturbance magnetic field generation source 57 is
This magnetic detection signal is amplified by an amplifier 52 and then subtracted by a subtraction circuit 53 from a static magnetic field such as terrestrial magnetism. Then, the calculated magnetic field fluctuation is applied to the coil 5 for canceling the disturbance magnetic field by the current output circuit 54.
5 is excited. An output is performed so as to perform feedback control so that the detection signal of the magnetic field detector 51 becomes 0, thereby canceling the disturbance magnetic field.

By the way, in the disturbance magnetic field canceling device, when a coil for canceling a disturbance magnetic field is a circular coil and an ideal Helmholtz coil having a coil interval as a radius, a scanning electron microscope tube or the like is used. It becomes difficult to secure the space for the analyzer 56, which is difficult. However, in order to secure a space, the coil interval between the one 55a and the other 55b of the canceling magnetic field coil 55 must be increased. As a result, the range in which the gradient of the generated magnetic field can be widened and lacks uniformity. When the canceling magnetic field coil 55 is made smaller, the fluctuating magnetic field canceling area becomes narrower, and the canceling magnetic field coil 55 becomes smaller.
When this value is increased, a turbulent magnetic field is generated in other devices around the coil.

[0004] Here, the coil shape used in the magnetic field canceling device is generally a square, and the magnetic field at a distance D from the center of a single square coil is 2 L on one side of the square coil. Assuming that the number of lines is N and the flowing current is I, it is expressed by the following equation. H = 2IL 2 N / (π (L 2 + D 2 ) (2L 2 + D 2 ) 1/2 ) (1) From the expression (1), the strength of the magnetic field is not uniform depending on the distance from the coil, but is attenuated. You can see that it will go. FIG. 5 shows the intensity distribution of the magnetic field in the pair of opposing canceling coils,
This is a graph based on the equation (1), in which the horizontal axis indicates the distance and the vertical axis indicates the strength of the magnetic field. 55ax, 5 in the figure
5bx is a canceling magnetic field generated by a single opposing canceling coil, 55c is a canceling composite magnetic field, and 57a is a disturbance magnetic field, and the polarity is inverted (negative) for easy understanding. From the figure, at the position of the magnetic field detector 51, the disturbance magnetic field 57a can be canceled out because the intensity of the combined magnetic field and the disturbance magnetic field coincide with each other. There is a difference between the magnetic field 55c and the disturbance magnetic field 57a, which indicates that the disturbance magnetic field is not completely canceled.

[0005] The conventional disturbance magnetic field canceling device has such a drawback.

In the disturbance magnetic field canceling device according to the present invention, the magnetic field detector for detecting the disturbance magnetic field passes through the local magnetic field canceling coil which cancels the magnetic field in a part of the magnetic flux passage area near the disturbance magnetic field canceling coil. Since the magnetic field detector is disposed in the region, the magnetic field detector detects a static magnetic field component and a fluctuating magnetic field component. Therefore, only the fluctuating magnetic field component is extracted from the detection signal component, and based on the value, the judgment device is installed by passing the current for the canceling magnetic field and the local magnetic field canceling current for correcting the magnetic field level in each coil in real time. The disturbance magnetic field at the truly required position can be satisfactorily canceled, and the determination by the scanning electron microscope tube or the like can be made extremely accurately. In addition, since an extra strong canceling magnetic field is not required, the size of the coil for canceling the disturbance magnetic field can be reduced, and the coil can be used without being limited by the place of use or the size of the device.

FIG. 1C shows an example in which the magnetic field detector x1 is arranged at the center of a circular coil. The magnetic field is generated based on the following equation (2). Rapidly decreases as the distance from the coil increases, so that the influence of the local canceling magnetic field c1 does not reach the central portion between the one 6a and the other 6b of the disturbance magnetic field canceling coil x6. H = r 2 · N · I / 2 (r 2 + D 2 ) 3/2 (2) where r is the diameter of the coil, N is the number of turns, I is the current, and D is perpendicular to the plane from the center of the coil. It is a distance away. Therefore,
At a coil position A where the magnetic field detector x1 is installed, a magnetic field x6a, generated by the canceling magnetic field coil x6,
If a current is applied to the local magnetic field canceling coil x7 so as to cancel the synthetic magnetic field a1 of x6b, the magnetic field intensity distribution near the coil position becomes a curve d1, and the point A is affected by the magnetic field generated by the canceling magnetic field coil x6. As a result, the disturbance magnetic field canceling performance is significantly improved.

Specifically, for this purpose, the exciting current of the current output circuit 4, which flows through the disturbance magnetic field canceling magnetic field coil x6, is shunted to the local magnetic field canceling coil x7 by the shunt x5, and is applied to the mutual coils at the same ratio. Excitation current is applied. As a result, the fluctuating disturbance magnetic field is canceled by the magnetic field generated by the canceling magnetic field coil x6, and at the same time its influence does not appear at the point A. After all, the magnetic field detector x1 is
The static magnetic field component and the fluctuating magnetic field component of the disturbance magnetic field are detected without being affected by the magnetic field generated by the disturbance magnetic field canceling magnetic field coil, the detection signal is amplified by the amplifier x2, and the subtraction circuit x3 is used to reduce the static magnetic field component. The disturbance magnetic field can be canceled with high accuracy by subtracting and diverting the output current corresponding to the variation from the current output circuit x4 to the local magnetic field canceling coil x7 and the canceling magnetic field coil x6 via the shunt x5. .

As described above, in the disturbance magnetic field canceling apparatus according to the present embodiment, the magnetic field detector 1 detects only the magnetic field of the static magnetic field component and the variable magnetic field component. By exciting each coil in real time based on the value, the disturbance magnetic field at a truly necessary position can be canceled well, and the determination by the scanning electron microscope tube 9 or the like can be made extremely accurately. In addition, since an extra strong canceling magnetic field is not required, the size of the coil for canceling the disturbance magnetic field can be reduced, and the coil can be used without being limited by the place of use or the size of the device.

As described above, the disturbance magnetic field canceling device of the present invention has the above-described configuration.
Even if a magnetic field detector is not installed inside the canceling magnetic field coil interval, a disturbance magnetic field of a main part can be accurately detected, and extremely accurate determination and other operations can be performed. Also,
The coil for the canceling magnetic field can be configured and installed to a minimum size. Therefore, adverse effects on the external device can be reduced. Further, since it is not necessary to dispose a magnetic field detector inside the coil interval, the source of the turbulent magnetic field can be reversed and surrounded by the coil for the magnetic field, thereby reducing the adverse effect of the turbulent magnetic field on the external device.
