Publication number: 20080042060Abstract: An inspection apparatus and a semiconductor device manufacturing method using the same. The inspection apparatus is used for defect inspection, line width measurement, surface potential measurement or the like of a sample such as a wafer. In the inspection apparatus, a plurality of charged particles is delivered from a primary optical system to the sample, and secondary charged particles emitted from the sample are separated from the primary optical system and introduced through a secondary optical system to a detector. Irradiation of the charged particles is conducted while moving the sample. Irradiation spots of the charged particles are arranged by N rows along a moving direction of the sample and by M columns along a direction perpendicular thereto. Every row of the irradiation spots of the charged particles is shifted successively by a predetermined amount in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2007Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: EBARA CORPORATIONInventors: Mamoru Nakasuji, Nobuharu Noji, Tohru Satake, Toshifumi Kimba, Hirosi Sobukawa, Shoji Yoshikawa, Tsutomu Karimata, Shin Oowada, Mutsumi Saito, Muneki Hamashima, Toru Takagi

Patent number: 7228137Abstract: A mobile body information system comprises a center system and a vehicle-mounted terminal device. The vehicle-mounted terminal device is configured to determine a density of communication areas of narrow area wireless base stations along a travel route of a vehicle based on a current position of the vehicle and installation data of the narrow area wireless base stations. When the density of communication areas is high, the vehicle-mounted terminal device is configured to recommend to a user a divided download format in which the information is intermittently distributed through a plurality of the narrow area wireless base stations while the vehicle is travelling. When the density of the communication areas is low, the vehicle-mounted terminal device is configured to recommend a batch download format in which the information is distributed through one of the narrow area wireless base stations while the vehicle remains in one communication area.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2003Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Chinomi, Toru Takagi, Susumu Fujita, Masayasu Suzuki

Patent number: 7183562Abstract: Charged-particle-beam (CPB) mapping projection-optical systems and adjustment methods for such systems are disclosed that can be performed quickly and accurately. In a typical system, an irradiation beam is emitted from a source, passes through an irradiation-optical system, and enters a Wien filter (“E×B”). Upon passing through the E×B, the irradiation beam passes through an objective-optical system and is incident on an object surface. Such impingement generates an observation beam that returns through the objective-optical system and the E×B in a different direction to a detector via an imaging-optical system. An adjustment-beam source emits an adjustment beam used for adjusting and aligning the position of, e.g., the object surface and/or the Wien's condition of the E×B. The adjustment beam can be off-axis relative to the objective-optical system. For such adjusting and aligning, fiducial marks (situated, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2006Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Nishimura, Naoto Kihara, Kinya Kato, Toru Takagi, Akihiro Goto, Junji Ikeda, Kazuya Okamoto
