  • Publication number: 20090316535
    Abstract: The present invention aims to prevent a nonrotation state from being brought about even when a drive allowance is changed by variations in a stepping motor or the like. A pulse down counter circuit outputs pulse down control signal for subjecting main drive pulse to control pulse down when time is counted for a predetermined time period. When a detecting signal exceeding a reference threshold voltage detected by a rotation detecting circuit is detected at a first detection section at start of a rotation detecting time period, a control circuit resets the pulse down counter circuit. Thereby, a main drive pulse generating circuit is not subjected to control pulse down by the pulse down counter circuit, and therefore, it is prevented that the main drive pulse is subjected to pulse down unnecessarily.

  • Patent number: 7601974
    Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a charged particle beam apparatus that is capable of handling samples without adhering impurities onto the samples. In a scanning electron microscope in which a lubricant was coated on a sliding portion of a movable member that moves inside a vacuum chamber, a substance from which low molecular components were removed is used as the lubricant. It is thus possible to inhibit sample contamination and suppress the occurrence of defects in a process following measurement of the samples.

  • Publication number: 20080243432
    Abstract: It is made possible to reduce electric power consumption while suppressing an occurrence of a walking detection leak. By a cycle operation section and a cycle comparison section in a CPU, if it is judged that a walking signal from a detection circuit is within a predetermined cycle, the walking signal is counted as a step number by a step number count section. In a case where the walking signal within the predetermined cycle is not detected for a predetermined time by the cycle comparison section, a walking stop detection section judges to be a walking stop, an electric source control processing section controls an electric source control circuit to thereby switch the detection circuit to an intermittent drive from a continuous drive, and thereafter gradually prolongs a pause time of the intermittent drive for a predetermined time at a time in every time the walking signal within the predetermined cycle is not detected for the predetermined time.

  • Patent number: 7247864
    Abstract: A sample measuring method and a charged particle beam apparatus are provided which remove contaminants, that have adhered to a sample in a sample chamber of an electron microscope, to eliminate adverse effects on the subsequent manufacturing processes. To achieve this objective, after the sample measurement or inspection is made by using a charged particle beam, contaminants on the sample are removed before the next semiconductor manufacturing process. This allows the contaminants adhering to the sample in the sample chamber to be removed and therefore failures or defects that may occur in a semiconductor fabrication process following the measurement and inspection can be minimized.

  • Publication number: 20070164752
    Abstract: To reduce power consumption in transmitting biometric information signal by wireless. A heart beat detecting circuit amplifies a heart beat signal from an electrode and outputs a biometric detecting signal A having a predetermined time width in synchronism with heart beat of the heart. A voltage comparator, a pulse counting circuit and a control signal generating circuit control an antenna driving circuit such that an antenna circuit is driven when a signal level of a drive signal for driving the antenna circuit by the antenna driving circuit is lowered during a time period of outputting the biometric detecting signal A. The antenna driving circuit excites a resonance circuit comprising a coil L and a capacitor C for an antenna of the antenna circuit in response to the control. A biometric information signal of a burst signal type in correspondence with the heart beat signal is outputted by wireless from the antenna coil L, thereby, power consumption in transmitting by wireless is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20070046372
    Abstract: To provide a portable electronic unit that can reduce power consumption. A high-frequency amplification circuit amplifies heart rate information received by an antenna and detects the information by means of a detection circuit. A gain control circuit controls a gain in a gain control amplification circuit in two steps in response to a level of a detection signal of the detection circuit. The gain control amplification circuit amplifies and outputs a detection signal from the detection circuit with a relevant gain. A comparator converts and outputs a digital signal into a waveform. The control circuit controls a display drive circuit and displays a heart rate on a display unit. The control circuit also controls a setup circuit every time the control circuit turns on the high-frequency amplification circuit and brings a gain in the gain control amplification circuit to a maximum value.
