  • Publication number: 20240096531
    Abstract: There is provided a non-oriented electrical steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition, in which an area fraction of a crystal structure A composed of crystal grains having a grain size of 100 ?m or more is 1% to 30% in a cross section parallel to a rolled plane of the non-oriented electrical steel sheet, an average grain size of a crystal structure B which is a crystal structure other than the crystal structure A is 40 ?m or less, and a Vickers hardness HvA of the crystal structure A and a Vickers hardness HvB of the crystal structure B satisfy Equation 1 ((HvA2+HvB2)/2?(HvA+HvB)2/4?7.0).

  • Publication number: 20230377836
    Abstract: Depth information of a multilayer structure is acquired quickly and with high accuracy. An analysis system includes (a) acquiring a first captured image of a sample SAM viewed from a first direction by irradiating the sample SAM including a multilayer structure with an electron beam EB1 from the first direction, (b) acquiring a second captured image of the sample SAM viewed from a second direction by irradiating the sample SAM with the electron beam EB1 from the second direction, in which the second direction intersects the first direction, (c) acquiring depth information of the multilayer structure using information of the sample SAM including the first captured image, the second captured image, a number of layers of the multilayer structure, a thickness of one layer or a thickness of each layer of the multilayer structure, and a depth at which a first layer of the multilayer structure starts.

  • Patent number: 11424099
    Abstract: In order to control a charge amount on a sample surface to a desired value before calculating a frame integration image, the invention provides a charged particle beam device including: a charged particle beam source configured to irradiate a sample with a charged particle beam; a deflector configured to scan an observation region of the sample with the charged particle beam; a detector configured to detect a charged particle emitted from the sample due to scanning with the charged particle beam; an image generation unit configured to generate a frame image of the observation region based on an observation signal output from the detector; and a scanning suspension time setting unit configured to set a scanning suspension time, which is a time during which scanning of the observation region with the charged particle beam is suspended after a frame image is generated, in which the image generation unit calculates a frame integration image by integrating frame images generated with the scanning suspension time i
