Patent number: 8487253Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a scanning electron microscope suitable for monitoring apparatus conditions of the microscope itself, irrespective of the presence of charge-up, specimen inclination, and the like. In order to achieve the object, proposed is a scanning electron microscope including a function to monitor the apparatus conditions on the basis of information obtained with an electron beam reflected before reaching a specimen. Specifically, for example, while applying a negative voltage to the specimen to reflect the electron beam before the electron beam reaches the specimen, and simultaneously supplying a predetermined signal to a deflector for alignment, the scanning electron microscope monitors changes of the detected positions of the reflected electrons of the electron beam. If the above-mentioned predetermined signal is under the condition where an alignment is properly performed, the changes of the detected positions of the electrons reflect deviation of an axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Minoru Yamazaki, Akira Ikegami, Hideyuki Kazumi, Manabu Yano, Kazunari Asao, Takeshi Mizuno, Yuki Ojima
