- SEM Scanning Electron Microscope
- One of the important points in obtaining the SEM image is to keep the electron beam emitted from the electron source constant. This is because when the amount of emitted electrons decreases, the current applied to the sample generally decreases, and the brightness of the obtained SEM image decreases. A decrease in the brightness of the SEM image is nothing less than a decrease in the amount of signal electrons, and a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio increases not only the brightness but also the roughness of the image. When the roughness increases, the visibility of the SEM image decreases. Further, when the inspection is performed using the obtained SEM image, there is a possibility that a problem that the inspection accuracy is reduced may be caused.
