The case where the thickness of the transparent layer 61 in the sample crucible shown in Fig. 2 is measured is considered. When the composition of the transparent layer 61 is different from that of the n-type layer 62, the p-type 63, and the metal layer 64, the thickness can be measured by ray analysis. At this time, the X-ray source 21 irradiates the X-rays to the sample 6, the fluorescent ray detecting unit 22 detects the fluorescent ray rays from the sample 6, and the analyzing unit 23 acquires the spectrum of the fluorescent X-rays. Processing ^ that is, extracting the energy of the elements contained in the transparent layer 61 from the spectrum of the fluorescent X-rays, which are not contained in the other layers, and based on the extracted fluorescent ray-ray intensity and the ship The thickness of the transparent layer 61 is calculated by determining the concentration of the element in the transparent layer 61. And when the elements in the transparent layer 61 are contained in the n-type layer 62, the p-type layer 63, and the gold (four) 64 hetero-layer, it is difficult to use the glory ray analysis to thickness, but it can be __polarized Measure the thickness. The driving unit 52 moves the sample stage 51 up and down, so that the focal point of the linearly polarized light incident on the incident portion η is located on the transparent layer 61 h. The human emitting portion u causes the linearly polarized light to enter the transparent layer 61 of the sample 6, and the complementary light portion 12 The reflected light of the transparent layer 61 is received, and the analyzing unit 13 acquires the Δ of the transparent layer 61 and the wavelength change of ψ 12 201205062. The analysis unit 4 performs a process of comparing the wavelength change of Δ and 导出 derived from the refractive property of the assumed transparent layer 61 and the thickness, and the wavelength change of Δ and 实际 which are actually obtained, on the one hand, On the one hand, the optical characteristics and the thickness are changed, and the optical characteristics and thickness of the transparent layer 61 are obtained. As described above, in the case where the sample inspection device according to the first embodiment can utilize the fluorescent X-ray analysis, the thickness of the layer in the test material 6 can be measured by the fluorescence ray ray analysis. In the case of the layer, the thickness of the layer can be measured by ellipsometry. As described above, regardless of the sample 6, the sample inspecting apparatus of the first embodiment can measure the thickness of each layer by an appropriate method corresponding to the sample 6. Since it is not necessary to distinguish the inspection device according to the difference of the sample 6, the time for checking the sample 6 becomes simple. Further, in the case of the sample 6 of which the composition is unknown, the composition analysis can also be carried out by fluorescent X-ray analysis. Next, the case where the optical characteristics of the transparent layer 61 are measured is considered. When the composition of the transparent layer 61 is different from the layer 64 of the n-type layer 62, the χ^ χ 特 以 以 光 光 首先 首先 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' The ray spectrum is analyzed. Thus, the thickness of the ruthenium layer 61 is calculated, and the calculated thickness of the transparent layer 61 is stored in the first shot portion η, and then the linear polarized light is incident on the transparent layer q of the sample 6 The following processing 'i.e., fixing the value of the thickness of the transparent layer 61 to the change of the haze of the transparent layer 61 by the fluorescence and the ray analysis' repeatedly repeats the 1 1201205062 derived from the optical characteristics and thickness of the transparent layer 61. The optical characteristics of the transparent layer 61 are obtained by comparing Δ and the wavelength change of Ψ with the actually obtained Δ and the wavelength change of ψ. As described above, in the present invention, the thickness of one layer in the sample 6 can be measured by fluorescent X-ray analysis, and the optical characteristics such as the refractive index of the same layer can be measured by ellipsometry. A single ellipsometer cannot measure the optical properties and thickness of the layer independently.

Further, the reflected light receiving unit 12 is connected to the (four) reflected light and the wavelength region of the fluorescent x-ray detected by the fluorescent X-ray detecting unit 22, and therefore can be detected simultaneously without interfering with each other. That is, the sample inspection split of the first embodiment can simultaneously acquire the Δ and the change of the sample 6 and the fluorescence X-ray spectrum of the sample 6. The analysis unit 4 performs the following processing, that is, the Δ of the sample 6 obtained according to (4) and the wavelength change of ψ and the ray spectrum, and the sample characteristics of the sample 6 can be determined separately and the sample inspection device of the method 1 can be shortened. Next, the optical secret thickness of the refraction of each layer contained in the crucible 6 is counted, and the case where the thickness of the transparent layer 61 in the sample 6 and the thickness of the metal layer 201205062 is measured is considered. Since it is difficult to measure the thickness of the metal 4 by the ellipsometry, the metal layer is measured by fluorescence X-ray analysis at 64 degrees, and the thickness of the transparent layer 61 is measured by ellipsometry. The flooding and the weeping 52 cause the incident portion u to illuminate the light, and the incident portion 11 causes the linearly polarized light to enter the transparent layer 试 of the sample 6, and the light-receiving portion 12 receives the reflected light of the transparent layer 61. The analyzing unit 13 selects the Δ of the bright layer 61 and the wavelength change of ψ. The analysis unit 4 performs a method of determining the thickness / of the transparent layer 61 based on the wavelength changes of Δ and ψ. Further, the X-ray source 21 causes the X-rays to enter the sample 6, the fluorescence χ = line detecting unit 22 detects the fluorescent X-rays from the simple 6, and the analyzing unit 23 acquires the spectrum of the fluorescent X-rays. The analysis unit 4 performs a process of extracting, from the spectrum of the fluorescent X-rays, the fluorescence X-ray intensity of the elements contained in the other layers among the elements contained in the metal layer 64, and extracting the fluorescence according to the extracted fluorescence. The X-ray intensity is used to calculate the thickness of the metal layer 64. As described above, the sample inspecting apparatus according to the embodiment 对于 can measure the thickness of the layer by the fluorescent X-ray analysis of the layer which can be analyzed by the fluorescent X-ray in the plurality of layers included in the sample 6, for the available ellipse The layer of the polarizing method can measure the thickness of the layer by ellipsometry. As described above, the sample inspecting apparatus according to the first embodiment can measure the thickness of each of the layers of the sample 6 having a multilayer structure by an appropriate method corresponding to the layer. It is not necessary to use the sample inspection device according to the layer to be measured. The thickness of the plurality of layers can be measured by the same sample inspection device. Therefore, it is easy to check the sample. -β Further, the sample inspecting apparatus of the embodiment i can simultaneously operate the incident portion u and the radiation source 21 of the 201205062, thereby simultaneously acquiring the Δ and the wavelength change of the transparent layer 61 and the fluorescent X-ray spectrum of the metal layer 64. The analysis unit 4 performs the processing of independently determining the thickness of the transparent layer 61 and the thickness of the metal layer 64 based on the Δ of the transparent layer 61 and the wavelength change of ψ and the fluorescent X-ray spectrum of the metal layer 64. Therefore, the sample inspecting apparatus of the embodiment can be used to measure the thickness of each of the plurality of layers included in the sample 6 of the money structure. Further, the sample inspection device of the first embodiment can perform Raman scattered light analysis of the sample 6. The layer to be subjected to Raman luminescence analysis measurement is referred to as an n-type layer 62. The drive unit 52 moves the sample stage 51 up and down so that the focus of the laser light from the laser light source 31 is located on the n-type layer 62. The laser light source η irradiates the laser beam to the n-type layer 62, the Raman scattered light detecting portion 32 detects the Raman scattered light from the n-type layer 62, and the analyzing portion 33 acquires the spectrum of the Raman scattered light from the layer 62. The analysis unit 4 performs a process of calculating the surname characteristics such as the degree of crystallinity of the n-type layer a based on the Raman scattered light spectrum. Thereby, for example, the degree of crystallization of the plurality of (tetra) or non-stones contained in the n-type layer 62 can be measured. Further, by Raman scattered light analysis, in addition to the degree of crystallization, other structural characteristics such as the n-type layer 62_stress can be measured. Further, Raman scattered light analysis can also be performed for layers other than the n-type layer 62. As described above, in the sample inspection device of the first embodiment, in addition to the circular polarization method and the fluorescent X-ray analysis, the structural characteristics such as the degree of crystallization can be measured for each layer in the sample 6 by Raman scattered light analysis. Since it is not necessary to use other sample inspection devices for Raman scattered light analysis, it is easy to check the time when the sample is inspected at 201205062. Moreover, the laser beam irradiated by the laser source 31 to the sample 6 is different in the wavelength range of the second:: and the ray is different from the ray.
