Patent number: 7442928Abstract: When a sample includes repeated cells, a scale pattern corresponding to the repeated cells is generated. Next, the scale pattern generated is superimposed on the image of the repeated cells of the sample, thereby identifying a destination cell. Moreover, disposition of the repeated cells of the sample is determined based on positions of at least three ends of the repeated cells. Then, the position of the destination cell is identified from this disposition of the repeated cells. Furthermore, a zoom image is generated by a combination of a zoom based on beam deflection function and a zoom based on software. Then, the image shift is performed by software without displacing a sample stage.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2006Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventor: Tsuyoshi Ohnishi

Publication number: 20070187597Abstract: A focused ion beam system capable of acquiring surface structure information, internal structure information, and internal composition information about a sample simultaneously from the same field of view of the sample. A method of sample preparation and observation employs such focused ion beam system to accurately set a sample processing position based on information about the structure and composition of the sample acquired from multiple directions of the sample, and to process and observe the sample. The system includes, in order to acquire the sample structure and composition information simultaneously, a secondary electron detector, a transmission electron detector, and an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope or an electron energy loss spectroscope, and employs a stub having the sample rotating and tilting function. The method includes a marking process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2007Publication date: August 16, 2007Inventors: Yuya Suzuki, Takeo Kamino, Toshie Yaguchi, Mitsuru Konno, Tsuyoshi Ohnishi

Publication number: 20070042127Abstract: The present invention is useful in growing complex films with high quality (low lattice strain, large grain size, high degree of perfection) at high rates and large area, and high efficiency use of material. A solid-state film is grown from a liquid, where atoms are supplied continuously by vapor deposition onto the liquid surface. The desired film material grows from or is precipitated from the liquid flux, which is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the desired film. The desired film growth starts at a substrate interface. If this is a biaxial textured surface suitable in chemical reactivity and lattice constant, the growth will be epitaxial with the substrate. The atomic mixture that forms the deposited film is supplied by the arrival of the atoms from a vapor onto the surface of the liquid flux. An important additional factor in the case of an oxide such as the HTSC YBCO is that activated oxygen needs to be present, along with molecular oxygen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventors: Robert Hammond, Luke Peng, Weizhi Wang, William Jo, Tsuyoshi Ohnishi, Malcolm Beasley

Publication number: 20060097166Abstract: It is possible to carry out a highly accurate thin film machining by irradiation of an ion beam to a sample and a high-resolution STEM observation of the sample by irradiating an electron beam with a high throughput almost without moving the sample. The FIB irradiation system has an irradiation axis almost orthogonally intersecting an irradiation axis of the STEM observation electron beam irradiation system. The sample is arranged at the intersection point of the irradiation axes. The FIB machining plane of the sample is extracted from the thin film plane of the STEM observation sample. The transmitting/scattered beam detector are arranged at backward of the sample on the electron beam irradiation axis viewed from the electron beam irradiation direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2005Publication date: May 11, 2006Inventors: Tohru Ishitani, Tsuyoshi Ohnishi, Mitsugu Sato, Koichiro Takeuchi

Patent number: 6310341Abstract: An irradiation electron beam emitted from an electron gun is deflected by an energy filter, and passes through a first projective lens and an objective lens, and then irradiated onto a sample to produce secondary electrons. The secondary electron beam accelerated by a negative voltage applied to the sample passes through the objective lens and the first projective lens, and deflected by the energy filter to be energy dispersed. Only the secondary electrons having a specified energy pass through energy selecting aperture, and further pass through a second projective lens to form a projected image of the secondary electrons on an imager. Such an electron-optical system may be used for dimension evaluation or inspection of semiconductor substrates.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1999Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hideo Todokoro, Tohru Ishitani, Yasutsugu Usami, Shunroku Taya, Hiroyuki Shinada, Taku Ninomiya, Tsuyoshi Ohnishi
