- the inclination of the primary electron beam 3 is corrected by monitoring the emission position of the secondary electrons 14 by observing the scanning image of the reflector 15 with the secondary electrons 14.
- the reason why the tilt correction of the primary electron beam 3 with respect to the specimen is performed by observing the scanning image of the secondary electrons 14 is that the tilt angle can be corrected with high accuracy.
- the distance 24a is enlarged as the distance 24b and projected onto the reflecting plate 15, so that the tilt observation of the primary electron beam 3 can be performed with high accuracy.
- the secondary electrons 14 emitted from the sample 11 are subjected to scanning deflection action by the upper scanning deflector 6 and the lower scanning deflector 7 in the same manner as the primary electron beam 3.

- the primary electron beam 3 is not tilted, the secondary electrons 14 are emitted from the optical axis, and the secondary electrons 14 emitted vertically are not deflected by the objective lens 9, and as shown in FIG.
- a black spot 27 is formed at the center of the SEM image.
- the primary electron beam 3 is tilted, secondary electrons are emitted from the off-axis position, and even if the secondary electrons are emitted vertically, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the black point 28 is formed at a position shifted from the center of the SEM image.
- the black spot position does not move when the objective lens 9 is wobbled. Only the size will change. Therefore, in order to realize the state in which the primary electron beam 3 is not inclined, the trajectory of the primary electron beam 3 is changed using the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19, and the wobbling of the objective lens 9 is performed at that time. And the conditions of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 that minimize the amount of movement of the black spot position may be set in the apparatus.
- the wobbling of the objective lens 9 is performed by changing the excitation current of the objective lens 9.
- the deflector for changing the trajectory of the primary electron beam 3 needs to have at least two stages of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19, and may have three or more stages.
- the means for causing the change in the black spot position is not limited to the wobbling of the objective lens 9, and other means may be used as long as the trajectory of the secondary electrons 14 is changed.
- a retarding voltage deceleration voltage
- a voltage of the acceleration cylinder 12 acceleration cylinder voltage

- the charged particle beam is turned back by applying an antiphase current or voltage to the two-stage charged particle beam deflector, and the charged particle beam is passed through the center of the objective lens.
- the secondary electrons emitted from the sample by irradiation with the charged particle beam are deflected by the lens effect of the objective lens and reach a reflector arranged between the charged particle source and the objective lens.
- the objective lens is wobbled while changing the deflection vector of the charged particle beam by the two-stage charged particle beam deflector, and the secondary electron scanning image on the reflecting plate at that time is observed.
- the charged particle beam passes through the center of the objective lens and enters the state of being perpendicularly incident on the sample.
- the tilt angle of the charged particle beam with respect to the sample can be corrected by observing the secondary electron orbit. Since the change of the trajectory of the secondary electrons is magnified by the objective lens and observed on the reflector, the tilt angle can be corrected with high accuracy. In addition, prior measurement of the tilt angle is unnecessary, and even when the tilt angle changes due to charging, it is possible to make the charged particle beam incident perpendicularly to the sample.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the change in the inclination of the primary electron beam by the two-stage deflector.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a primary electron beam tilt correction sequence.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the amount of deviation of the black spot position when the objective lens 9 is wobbled.
- the flow of correction of the tilt of the primary electron beam in the case where the centers of the condenser lens 5 and the objective lens 9 are shifted due to the mechanical axis shift 53 as shown in FIG. Will be described.
- the primary electron beam becomes an axis that passes through the centers of the condenser lens 5 and the objective lens 9, so that the primary electron beam trajectory 29 is used. And enters the sample 11 obliquely.
- the distance 57 is shifted from the optical axis 55.
- the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 are operated (step S1 in FIG. 8).
- An antiphase current or voltage is applied to the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19.
- the primary electron beam deflected by the upper deflector 18 changes from the trajectory 29 to the trajectory 30, and is then turned back in the reverse direction by the lower deflector 19 to become the trajectory 31.
- the upper / lower ratio of the deflection intensity of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 is adjusted so as to pass through the center of the objective lens 9 (step S2).
- the adjustment of the upper / lower stage ratio may be performed by a method of making the pattern on the sample 11 not move when the objective lens 9 is wobbled, which is a conventional axis adjustment technique (steps S3 and S4).
- the deflection intensity of one of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 is fixed, the deflection intensity of the other deflector is changed, and the upper / lower ratio is set so that the wobbling image does not move.
- Step S5 The magnitude of the current or voltage applied to the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 when obtaining the upper / lower ratio may be arbitrary as long as the SEM image is observed.
- the primary electron beam remains incident on the sample 11 at an angle only by adjusting the upper / lower ratio of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19.
- the tilt angle correction is performed by changing the deflection vectors of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 while maintaining the upper / lower ratio at this time (step S6).
- the objective lens 9 is wobbled while changing the deflection vectors of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 (step S7), and the black spot image at that time is observed. (Step S8).
- the horizontal axis in FIG. 9 corresponds to the deflection vectors of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19.
- FIG. 9 shows an example in which only the phase of the deflection vector is changed by 360 °, and then the magnitude of the deflection vector is changed to measure the black spot deviation amount. Accordingly, the peak-to-peak or bottom-to-bottom interval of the graph corresponds to the deflection phase 360 °. A plurality of peaks or bottoms exist because the magnitude of the deflection vector is changed. The deflections of the peaks 91, 92 and 93 are different.
- step S9 the deflection vector that minimizes the black spot deviation amount is found (step S9).
- the black spot deviation amount during wobbling is minimized. Therefore, when the deflection vectors of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 are set to the condition of the broken line 32 (step S10) and the primary electron beam is deflected in this state, the inclination of the primary electron beam to the sample 11 is inclined. The angle is corrected, and the primary electron beam is incident on the sample perpendicularly.
- the present embodiment it is possible to set the condition of the primary electron beam that passes through the center of the objective lens and is perpendicularly incident on the sample with high accuracy. Even if the primary electron beam tilt changes due to charging or the like, the tilt including the charging effect can be corrected. This is an important technique in SEM observation.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the parallelism adjustment between the objective lens and the sample.
- the objective lens 9 and the sample 11 need to be arranged in parallel. This is because when the objective lens 9 and the sample 11 are not parallel, secondary electrons are deflected and reach the reflecting plate 15. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, if the tilting mechanism is provided in the holder 10 and operated as indicated by the arrow 94, the sample tilting condition in which the black spot deviation amount becomes 0 in the deflection vector indicated by the broken line 32 is set. It is also possible to adjust the parallelism between the objective lens 9 and the sample 11 with high accuracy.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining pattern shading due to the inclination of the primary electron beam.
- FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view of the sample, and FIG.
- the deflection vectors of the upper deflector 18 and the lower deflector 19 may be set under the peak condition where the black spot deviation amount becomes large.
Abstract
Description
本開示の課題は、荷電粒子線の微小な傾斜角を補正する方法を提供することにある。
その他の課題と新規な特徴は、本開示の記述および添付図面から明らかになるであろう。
すなわち、荷電粒子線の傾斜補正方法は、反射板で得られる試料から放出される放出荷電粒子による走査像に関する情報に基づいて、荷電粒子線の傾斜補正を行う。ここで、反射板は、荷電粒子源と荷電粒子線を集束する対物レンズとの間に配置される。
図1は、走査型電子顕微鏡の構成を説明する図である。なお図1では、電子ビーム傾斜補正の概念を示すため、機械的に軸がずれている装置状態を記載している。
走査型電子顕微鏡101では、電界放射陰極1と、引出電極2との間に引出電界が電源V1によって形成され、1次電子ビーム3が引き出される。電源V1は第1高電圧制御回路41によって制御される。
図2は1次電子ビームの試料への斜め入射を説明する図である。図3は測長値を説明する図であり、同図(a)は1次電子ビームの傾斜がないとき、同図(b)は1次電子ビームの傾斜があるときである。
図4は対物レンズによる2次電子軌道の変化を説明する図である。図5は2次電子走査像によって形成される黒点画像を説明する図である。図6は1次電子ビームの傾斜による黒点の位置ずれを説明する図である。
また、図9の破線32で示した偏向ベクトルにおいて黒点ずれ量が0になるためには、対物レンズ9と試料11が平行に配置されている必要がある。対物レンズ9と試料11が平行でない場合は、2次電子が偏向されて反射板15に到達するためである。したがって、図10に示すように、ホルダー10に傾斜機構を設けて矢印94のように動作させることによって、破線32で示した偏向ベクトルにおいて黒点ずれ量が0になる試料傾斜条件に設定すれば、対物レンズ9と試料11の平行度を高精度で調整することも可能である。
また、本実施の形態の技術を用いれば、電子ビームの傾斜が補正できるだけでなく、その逆に大きな傾斜を持たせる条件に設定することも可能である。図9において、黒点ずれ量が大きくなるピークの条件に、上偏向器18及び下偏向器19の偏向ベクトルを設定すればよい。電子ビーム3が試料11に大きく傾斜して入射することで、観察パターンに高低差がある場合に、図11(b)の1次電子ビーム傾斜により生じるパターン陰影33に示すように陰影(グラデーション)をつけることができる。したがって、試料の凹凸判定に応用することも可能である。
