Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a back scattered electron detector suitable for implementing a method for determining beforehand in which region of a sample an X-ray detector can obtain an accurate X-ray detection image and perform an appropriate analysis. A Coax-BSE detector which is a back scattered electron detector includes a BSE element, a support member that supports the BSE element, and a fixing member to fix the support member to the X-ray detector, in which the fixing member fixes the support member by clamping a side portion on the distal end side which is an X-ray receiving side of a housing that covers the X-ray detector.

Abstract: In order to provide a charged-particle radiation apparatus capable of evaluating and distinguishing the analysis position in a sample subjected to X-ray analysis in the stage before performing X-ray elemental analysis, and also making it possible for an analyst to perform, in a short period of time and without reworking, analysis for which high reliability is ensured, the present invention provides a charged-particle radiation apparatus provided with an X-ray detector, wherein a first back scattered electron detector (15) on the same axis as the X-ray detection surface of the X-ray detector (12 (25-30)) is disposed integrally with or independently from the X-ray detector (12), an X-ray signal being detected by the X-ray detector (12) simultaneously with or separately from detection of a back scattered electron signal by the first back scattered electron detector (15).

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck comprises: a dielectric substrate having a protrusion and a planar surface part. The protrusion is formed on a major surface of the dielectric substrate. An adsorption target material is mounted on the major surface. The planar surface part is formed in a periphery of the protrusion. The dielectric substrate is formed from a polycrystalline ceramics sintered body. A top face of the protrusion is a curved surface, and a first recess is formed in the top face to correspond to crystal grains that appear on the surface. The planar surface part has a flat part, and a second recess is formed in the flat part. A depth dimension of the first recess is greater than a depth dimension of the second recess. The electrostatic chuck can suppress the generation of particles and can easily recover a clean state of the electrostatic chuck surface.
