  • Publication number: 20190304740
    Abstract: A charged particle beam device is provided that performs proper beam adjustment while suppressing a decrease in MAM time, with a simple configuration without adding a lens, a sensor, or the like. The charged particle beam device includes: an optical element which adjusts a charged particle beam emitted from a charged particle source; an adjustment element which adjusts an incidence condition of the charged particle beam with respect to the optical element; and a control device which controls the adjustment element, wherein the control device determines a difference between a first feature amount indicating a state of the optical element based on the condition setting of the optical element, and a second feature amount indicating a state where the optical element reaches based on the condition setting and executes adjustment by the adjustment element when the difference is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 10063348
    Abstract: A data generation device 101 transmits communication data bound for a data receiving device 105 from a transmission unit, and a monitoring device 103 receives the communication data. The monitoring device 103 requests retransmission of the communication data to the data generation device 101, and the data generation device 101 retransmits the communication data from a retransmission unit being different from the transmission unit. The monitoring device 103 receives retransmission data retransmitted from the retransmission unit, compares the communication data with the retransmission data. If the communication data and the retransmission data are identical, the monitoring device 103 transmits the communication data to the data receiving device 105. If the communication data and the retransmission data are not identical, the monitoring device 103 transmits a message which notifies that the communication data and the retransmission data are not identical to the data generation device 101.

  • Publication number: 20150370547
    Abstract: A command code extraction part extracts, from among a plurality of command codes included in an instrument control program to be executed by a CPU unit and an input/output unit, a command code that is the same as an extraction target code indicated in an extraction target code list, as an extracted code. A sub-control program creation part creates, as a sub-control program to be executed by the input/output unit, a program including the extracted code that has been extracted. A main control program creation part creates, as a main control program to be executed by the CPU unit, a program which is obtained by removing from the instrument control program, the extracted code that has been extracted.

  • Patent number: 7143772
    Abstract: It is possible to obtain a clean high-quality circuit board by removing affected material and foreign matter produced when a hole is formed. A manufacturing method of the circuit board includes (a) preparing a film-coated board material by bonding a film material as a mask to a board material, (b) forming a hole in the film-coated board material by applying a laser beam thereto, and (c) selectively removing the unnecessary material sticking to the film-coated board material from the film-coated board material by supersonic cleaning without peeling the film material off the board material. Unnecessary material such as foreign matter is produced when the hole is formed, and the unnecessary material sticks to the board material. After removal of such unnecessary material, a conductive material is disposed in the hole, using the film material as a mask, and the film material is later removed from the board material.
