    Abstract: An electron microscope has a spherical aberration correction system having transfer optics inserted between a spherical aberration corrector and the objective lens. The transfer optics consists of first and second lenses each of which is made of a magnetic lens. Electrons passing across a point located at distance r0 from the optical axis are made to enter the first lens within the multipole element. Electrons are made to enter the second lens at distance r1 of the incident point to the objective lens from the optical axis. The ratio M (=r1/r0) is greater than 1.

    Abstract: An ultrafast system (and methods) for characterizing one or more samples. The system includes a stage assembly, which has a sample to be characterized. The system has a laser source that is capable of emitting an optical pulse of less than 1 ps in duration. The system has a cathode coupled to the laser source. In a specific embodiment, the cathode is capable of emitting an electron pulse less than 1 ps in duration. The system has an electron lens assembly adapted to focus the electron pulse onto the sample disposed on the stage. The system has a detector adapted to capture one or more electrons passing through the sample. The one or more electrons passing through the sample is representative of the structure of the sample. The detector provides a signal (e.g., data signal) associated with the one or more electrons passing through the sample that represents the structure of the sample. The system has a processor coupled to the detector. The processor is adapted to process the data signal associated with the one or more electrons passing through the sample to output information associated with the structure of the sample. The system has an output device coupled to the processor. The output device is adapted to output the information associated with the structure of the sample.

    Abstract: System and a method for electrically testing a semiconductor wafer, the method including: (a) scanning a charged particle beam along at least one scan line while maintaining an electrode located at a vicinity of the wafer at a first voltage that differs from a voltage level of a first scanned portion of the wafer, and collecting charged particles scattered from the first scanned portion; (b) scanning a charged particle beam along at least one other scan line while maintaining the electrode at a second voltage that differs from a voltage level of a second scanned portion such as to control a charging state of at least an area that comprises the first and second scanned portions; and (c) repeating the scanning stages until a predefined section of the wafer is scanned.

    Abstract: A scanning electron microscope of the present invention performs scanning by changing a scanning line density in accordance with a sample when an image of a scanned region is formed by scanning a two-dimensional region on the sample with an electron beam or is provided with a GUI having sample information input means which inputs information relating to the sample and display means which displays a recommended scanning condition according to the input and performs scanning with a scanning line density according to the sample by selecting the recommended scanning condition. As a result, in observation using a scanning electron microscope, a suitable scanning device which can improve contrast of a profile of a two-dimensional pattern and suppress shading by suppressing the influence of charging caused by primary charged particle radiation and by improving a detection rate of secondary electrons and a scanning method are provided.
