Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily perform observation of the surface form of a sample, while obtaining efficiently a reflected electron signal even in a state of heating, ion irradiation etc. of the sample, by focusing the whole luminance on a phosphor plate obtained by reflected electrons. by means of a half-mirror and a lens. CONSTITUTION:The whole luminance 11 on a phosphor plate 9 obtained by reflected electros is guided to an optical lens 13 by means of a half-mirror 12. Because of semictransparency of the half-mirror 12, a reflected diffraction image on the phosphor plate 9 can be easily observed without interrupting analysis of the crystal properties. When the interval between the optical lens 13 and the halr-mirror 12 is properly selected, a luminous region on the phosphor plate 9 can be sufficiently reduced to come into an detection aperture of a photoelectric conversion element while being able to convert the whole luminance 11 on the phosphor plate 9 into an electric signal. Said electric signal is converted into a brightness modulation signal of a CRT 16 in order to obtain a scanning electron microscope image of the sample 7 on the CRT 16 and select an analytic point on the sample 7.

Conventional scanning backscattered electron diffraction microscopy uses current signals absorbed in the sample or secondary
They used scanning electron microscopy images based on electron signals. However, it is difficult to obtain the sample absorption current signal when the sample is being heated or irradiated with ions. In addition, since the incident electrons are incident very close to the sample surface, the number of playions emitted from the sample is overwhelmingly large in the direction of incidence, and conventional secondary electron detection methods have the disadvantage of not being able to effectively detect secondary electrons. there were.

Conventionally, when selecting an analysis point on the surface of the sample 7, a scanning electron microscope image using a current signal absorbed by the sample 7 has been used. However, in this case, it is difficult to select an analysis point in a state where the sample 7 is heated by passing an electric current or irradiated with ions because it is difficult to separate the signal current from the heating current or the ion current. In order to eliminate this drawback, the present invention guides all the light emitted from the backscattered electrons 11 on the fluorescent plate 9 to the optical lens 13 by means of a half mirror 12. Since the half mirror 12 is semitransparent, the reflection diffraction image on the fluorescent plate 9 can be easily observed and does not interfere with the analysis of crystallinity. If the distance between the optical lens 13 and the half mirror 12 is appropriately selected, the light emitting area on the fluorescent plate 9 can be sufficiently reduced to enter the detection aperture of the photoelectric conversion element 15, and the entire light emitted 11 on the fluorescent plate 9 can be converted into an electrical signal. can be converted. This electric signal is converted into a brightness modulation signal of CR, T16 to obtain a scanning electron microscope image of the sample 7 on the CRT 16, and an analysis point on the sample 7 is selected. As a result, the signal is converted onto the optical fiber, and the sample 7 and the signal system are insulated, so the analysis point on the sample 7 can be easily selected even when the sample is heated by passing a current or irradiated with ions. . In addition, the optical lens 13
By appropriately selecting the distance between the mirror 12 and the nozzle mirror 12, a real image having the same size as the light emitting area on the fluorescent plate 9 can be created between the optical lens 13 and the photoelectric conversion element 15. By using the aperture 14 on this real image plane, it is also possible to select only the optical signal due to a specific reflection diffraction line and obtain a scanning electron microscope image, that is, a diffraction microscope image using this as a signal. The crystal distribution on the surface of sample 7 can be seen from this diffraction microscopic image.

This method has extremely excellent advantages in that a scanning electron microscope image of the surface of the sample 7 can be easily and efficiently obtained even under ion irradiation conditions, and analysis points can be easily selected.
