2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional vertical drive mechanism for a sample stage is rotated by engaging a motor 1 as a drive source and a drive gear 2 attached to a drive shaft of the motor 1 with a base 5 rotated. On the other hand, a stage shaft having a feed gear 3 provided so as not to move vertically and only rotatable around a vertical axis, and a male screw threaded to a female screw formed at the center of the feed gear 3. 4 is attached to the upper end of the feed gear 3
And a sample stage 6 that moves up and down with respect to the base 5 by rotating. Then, by driving the motor 1 to rotate the drive gear 2, the feed gear 3 is rotated.
Rotates, and the rotation of the feed gear 3 causes the stage shaft 4 to rotate.
Was raised or lowered in the directions of arrows A and B, and the sample stage 6 at the upper end was raised or lowered. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 7 is a guide for holding the lower part of the stage shaft 4. A sample 8 such as a semiconductor wafer or a photomask is set on the upper surface of the sample stage 6, and an objective lens (not shown) of an optical system for surface inspection is fixed above the sample 8. ing. Then, the entire sample stage 6 is sequentially moved in the XY direction within one plane, and the sample stage 6 is moved up and down to focus the objective lens on the surface of the sample 8 by an optical system. The surface was inspected by detecting and constructing a two-dimensional image and outputting it as a defect map diagram. In this case, the surface of the sample 8 such as the semiconductor wafer or photomask is not completely flat and has minute undulations, and the objective lens must always be focused on the undulations.
Therefore, the sample stage 6 is moved up or down in accordance with the change of the undulation due to the movement in the X-Y directions.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a vertical movement mechanism of the sample stage, the female screw at the center of the feed gear 3 is attached to the sample stage 6.
Since it is directly screwed into the male screw of the stage shaft 4, when the motor 1 is driven to rotate the drive gear 2, the rotational force directly acts on the upper part of the stage shaft 4. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the rotation of the drive gear 2 causes a torque T to act on the feed gear 3 in the tangential direction of its circumference, and this torque T acts directly on the upper portion of the stage shaft 4. The stage shaft 4 was elastically deformed and slightly bent, and as a result, the sample stage 6 was slightly displaced laterally as shown by an arrow C (about 1 micron) and slightly tilted. Therefore, when a two-dimensional image is formed by detecting while focusing the objective lens on the surface of the sample 8 by the optical system as described above, the sample 8 also moves laterally along with the minute displacement of the sample stage 6. However, the two-dimensional image may not be correctly constructed due to an error in the image positions of the adjacent images captured from the sample 8. From this, the accuracy of the defect map diagram for the surface inspection is lowered. Further, when the sample stage 6 is interlocked with the autofocus circuit of the objective lens, the sample stage 6 slightly tilts as the sample stage 6 moves up and down, so that the follow-up operation with respect to the target position does not have linearity. It may be upset and it takes time to focus on the surface of the sample 8. Then, this invention aims at solving such a problem.

Next, the operation of the sample stage vertical drive mechanism configured as described above will be described. First, the sample stage 19
The sample 8 as the inspection object is set on the upper surface of the. Then, when the entire sample stage 19 is appropriately moved in the XY directions, the sample stage 19 is moved up or down in order to focus the objective lens on the surface of the sample 8 at that point. That is, first, the motor 1 is driven to rotate the drive gear 2. Then, the feed gear 15 in which the gear teeth 18 mesh with the drive gear 2 is rotated.
Then, as the feed gear 15 rotates, the inwardly facing pins 17, 17 of the rotational force transmitting portion 16 provided on the lower surface side of the feed gear 15 rotate.
Also rotates, so this pin 17, 17 and U-shaped groove 12, 1
Rotational force is transmitted by engagement with 2, and the elevating member 11 also rotates together with the feed gear 15. At this time, even if the pins 17 and 17 move vertically, the U-shaped groove 1
Since the notches 2 and 12 can escape the movement, only the rotational force is transmitted to the elevating member 11. Next, as the lifting member 11 rotates, the support shaft 13 on the bottom also rotates, so that the lifting member 11 as a whole is raised or lowered by screwing the support shaft 13 into the screw hole 14 of the base 10. The vertical movement of the lifting member 11 causes the steel ball 2
1 is transmitted to the bottom surface of the stage shaft 20 to raise or lower the stage shaft 20. Therefore, the sample stage 19 provided on the upper end of the stage shaft 20 moves up or down, and the sample 8 set on the upper surface moves up and down. As a result, it is possible to focus on the objective lens of the optical system fixed above the sample 8.
