Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To aim at high resolution in a low acceleration region and achieve high detection sensitivity of a secondary electron by detecting a second charged particle deflected by a deflector by the use of a detector disposed nearer a charged particle source than an objective lens. SOLUTION: An electron beam 2 emitted from an electron gun 1 is narrowed by accelerating lenses 3, a condensing lens 4, an objective lens 5 and the like, to be irradiated on a sample 6. The electron beam 2 is two-dimensionally scanned on the sample 6 by a deflector 7. A secondary electron 8 emitted from the sample 6 is detected by a secondary electron detector 9, to be converted into an image signal. Here, a filter 10 of a so-called E×B type, in which an electric field E and a magnetic field B cross with each other in order to prevent any influence on the orbit of the electron beam 2, is interposed between the objective lens 5 and the detector 9. At this time, if a predetermined electric field E and a predetermined magnetic field B are applied, only the secondary electron 8 can be deflected toward the detector 9 without any influence on the orbit of the electron beam 2, thus enhancing detection efficiency.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to improve the resolution of a scanning electron microscope, an optical system as described in JP-A-61-294746 is used. That is, a field emission (FE) electron gun having a high brightness and a small energy width;
This is a combination of an in-lens type objective lens in which a sample is arranged inside a lens and aberration is minimized. Even in such an optical system, the resolution is reduced in the low acceleration region.

This optical system has a high accelerating voltage until just before an electron beam irradiates a sample, and decelerates to a low accelerating voltage when irradiating the sample. In this case, since the energy of the electron beam when passing through the lens is high, lens aberration can be reduced. That is, high resolution can be achieved.

From the above viewpoints, it is possible to obtain higher resolution than before in the low acceleration region by combining the above two optical systems. That is, the sample may be placed inside the lens, and a negative voltage may be applied to the sample to reduce the speed.

However, the problem in this case is the detection of secondary electrons. In the conventional case where the sample is outside the lens, as shown in JP-B-63-34588, the electric field of the secondary electron detector is used until the secondary electrons are accelerated by the deceleration electric field of the primary electron beam. It should have been configured to detect secondary electrons. However, in the in-lens type where the sample is placed inside the lens, the magnetic field of the lens is so strong that not only the two-time electrons are strongly bound by this magnetic field, but also that the secondary electron detector cannot be placed inside the lens. Problems arise.

More specifically, in order to obtain a high resolution with a low accelerating voltage, the primary electron beam is decelerated by applying a negative voltage to the sample in an in-lens type in which the sample is disposed inside a lens and applying a negative voltage to the sample. We have already mentioned what to do. With this optical system,
In order to increase the detection efficiency of secondary electrons, secondary electrons accelerated by the deceleration electric field of the primary electron beam may be deflected to the detector after passing through the lens. However, in this case, only the secondary electrons need to be deflected to the detector so as not to affect the primary electron beam. This can be achieved by using a so-called E × B-type filter in which an electric field (E) and a magnetic field (B) are perpendicular to each other.

The electron beam 2 emitted from the electron gun 1 is narrowed down by a number of lenses (in this embodiment, an acceleration lens 3, a condenser lens 4, and an objective lens 5) to irradiate the sample 6.

Therefore, a deflector may be arranged to deflect the emitted secondary electrons 8 toward the detector 9. However, the electric field E and the magnetic field B are changed so as not to affect the trajectory of the electron beam 2. An orthogonal so-called E × B filter 10 is arranged between the objective lens 5 and the detector 9.
