Abstract: When adjusting optical axes of a multi-beam charged particle beam device, because parameters of optical systems are inter-dependent, the time required to adjust the parameters increases. Thus, the present invention provides a charged particle beam device provided with an optical parameter setting unit for setting parameters of optical systems for emitting a plurality of primary charged particle beams to a sample, detectors for individually detecting a plurality of secondary charged particle beams discharged from the sample, a plurality of memories for storing signals detected by the detectors and converted into digital pixels in the form of images, evaluation value derivation units for deriving evaluation values of the primary charged particle beams from the images, and a GUI capable of displaying the images and receiving an input from a user, wherein the GUI displays the images and evaluation results based on the evaluation values and changes various optical parameters in real-time.

Abstract: A charged particle beam device includes a detector 109 converting a photon emitted by a scintillator into an electric signal and a signal processing unit 110 processing the electric signal from the detector 109. The signal processing unit 110 detects a peak position of the electric signal, steepness of a rising section associated with the peak position, and steepness of a falling section associated with the peak position and classifies the peak position based on the steepness of the rising section and the steepness of the falling section.

Abstract: Provided is a charged particle beam device capable of improving the accuracy of measurement and processing. The charged particle beam device includes an electrostatic chuck that adsorbs an inspection object, a voltage generation unit that generates a voltage to be supplied to the electrostatic chuck, and a state determination unit that determines a state of the inspection object. Here, the state determination unit includes a current waveform simulation unit that simulates a time-series change of an electrostatic chuck current flowing through the voltage generation unit when the electrostatic chuck normally adsorbs the inspection object, a difference integration unit that acquires an integration value of a difference between a time-series change of a simulation current generated by the current waveform simulation unit and the time-series change of the electrostatic chuck current flowing through the voltage generation unit, and a difference determination unit that determines an adsorption state of the inspection object and a shape feature of the inspection object based on the integration value of the difference.
