Definitions
- the present invention relates to a technology for automatically adjusting parasitic aberrations in a charged particle beam apparatus having an automatic aberration corrector.
- ion beam processing equipment In scanning electron microscopes (SEM: Scanning Electron Microscope), ion beam processing equipment (FIB: Focused Ion Beam), and other devices that use focused charged particle beams (probe beams), the surface of the sample is scanned with a probe and images are observed. And processing samples.
- the resolution and processing accuracy of these charged particle beam devices are determined by the size of the probe cross section (probe diameter). In principle, the resolution and processing accuracy can be increased as the probe diameter is smaller.
- aberration correctors for charged particle beam devices have been developed, and their practical application is also progressing.
- a multipole lens composed of magnetic poles or electrodes is used in a plurality of stages. Each stage applies an electric field / magnetic field that is not rotationally symmetric such as a dipole, quadrupole, hexapole, and octupole field to the beam in a superimposed manner, and gives inverse aberration to the probe beam.
- the aberration corrector cancels various aberrations such as spherical aberration and chromatic aberration that occur in the objective lens and deflection lens of the optical system.
- the aberration corrector has a large number of multipole power supplies, and the adjustment work is complicated. Therefore, an attempt has been made to automate aberration correction by quantifying the amount of aberration included in the optical system and feeding back the amount of inverse aberration to the charged particle beam apparatus (for example, Patent Document 1).
- aberration correction of an objective lens is performed using an aberration corrector.
- the distribution of the generated field even if the electric field or magnetic field of the multipole lens is controlled due to misalignment of each pole constituting the multipole lens in the aberration corrector or variations in magnetic properties of the pole material. Produces a shift with respect to the ideal multipole distribution, and this shift may generate a low-order field such as a dipole field or a quadrupole field.
- a charged particle beam when a charged particle beam is incident on a multipole lens having a field distribution shift with respect to the charged particle beam, the charged particle beam is affected by the dipole field or the quadrupole field derived from the shift and shifted to the orbit. Will occur. As a result, axis misalignment, focus misalignment, and the like occur, and the acquired image quality is affected.
- low-order fields that are incidentally generated due to deviation from the ideal field when the electric field or magnetic field of the aberration corrector is changed are particularly collectively referred to as “parasitic aberration”.
- “aberration” simply refers to spherical aberration or chromatic aberration of the objective lens, and is distinguished from “parasitic aberration” generated inside the corrector.
- “Parasitic aberration” appears as a lower-order field than the multipole field that is originally intended to be controlled.
- a parasitic dipole field and a parasitic quadrupole field that cause an axis shift and a focus shift have a large influence on an image. Therefore, when the multipole field is changed, it is necessary to superimpose the dipole field or the quadrupole field and cancel the influence.
- Parasitic aberration is caused by the difference between the generated field and the ideal field. For this reason, it is difficult to take countermeasures by predicting by simulation or the like before manufacturing the aberration corrector. Therefore, it is necessary for the operator himself to manually operate the aberration corrector and make adjustments while confirming the state of the axis deviation and the focus deviation after changing the multipole field on the image.
- the multipole field is moved by an actual device, the parasitic aberration at that time is examined in advance, and the adjustment amount of the dipole and quadrupole necessary for correcting it is necessary. It is necessary to set information on the device in advance.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a method of correcting a parasitic dipole field and a parasitic quadrupole field caused by mechanical and electrical misalignment of multipole elements.
- Patent Document 2 describes a method for correcting a parasitic dipole field and a parasitic quadrupole field caused by mechanical and electrical misalignment of multipole elements.
- the relationship between the multipole field strength and the field magnitude (parasitic aberration correction amount) necessary for parasitic aberration correction in an actual apparatus satisfies a linear relationship or is constant. Request that it be immutable. For this reason, if the preconditions are not satisfied, for example, if the relationship of the parasitic aberration correction amount to the multipole field intensity cannot be expressed by a simple linear relationship, or if the variation from the linearity is large, the influence of the parasitic aberration is canceled out. I can't.
- the relationship between the amount of parasitic aberration correction and the multipole field strength due to the hysteresis characteristics of the material as the automatic correction sequence is repeated, that is, as the current of the poles is frequently changed. May change. In such a case, a deviation occurs between the relationship between the multipole field intensity stored in the device in advance and the correction amount of the parasitic aberration and the response in the actual device, thereby suppressing the influence of the parasitic aberration. May not be possible.
- the parasitic aberration correction amount is adjusted by taking into account the influence thereof. Provide a mechanism for making decisions.
- An example of the present invention is a process of measuring an aberration coefficient for an optical system constituting a charged particle beam device to calculate an aberration correction amount, a process of measuring a current value of a power control value applied to the aberration corrector, And processing for calculating a parasitic aberration adjustment amount based on the aberration correction amount and the current value of the power supply control value.

Abstract
Description
[システム構成]
図1に、収差補正器を搭載するSEMシステムの概略構成を示す。本実施の形態は、4極子-8極子系の電磁界重畳型収差補正器を搭載するSEMとその制御システムについて説明する。
図2に、本実施の形態に係る収差補正手順の一例を示す。なお、以下の説明では、多極子が磁極により構成されているものとし、収差補正器4の制御には電流を使用するものと仮定する。勿論、電極で構成された多極子であっても、同様の手順により収差補正を実現することができる。
図3に、寄生収差調整量評価部16が、寄生収差の調整に必要な電流を決定するまでに実行する処理手順の概要を示す。なお、以下の説明では、説明を分かり易くするため、収差補正の対象である多極子成分が1つであるものとする。具体的には、補正対象とする多極子成分は、収差補正器4の1段目を構成する8極子であるものとする。また、この場合、寄生収差調整量評価部16は、寄生2極子場の調整電流量を求めるものと仮定する。
以上説明したように、本実施の形態に係るSEMシステムにおいては、収差補正器4を構成する多極子の場強度(印加電流値)と寄生収差調整量の対応関係が非線形的に変化する場合でも、場強度(印加電流値)の現在値と収差補正量に応じた最適な寄生収差調整量を求めて収差補正器4に与えることができる。これにより、従来装置に比べ、収差補正に付随して発生する寄生収差の発生量を効果的に抑制することができる。
[システム構成]
図6に、実施の形態2に係るSEMシステムの概略構成を示す。図6には、図1との対応部分に同一符号を付して示している。本実施の形態に係るSEMシステムも、4極子-8極子系の電磁界重畳型収差補正器を搭載するものとする。後述するように、本実施の形態にSEMシステムは、収差補正器4の各多極子に与えられる多極子制御量の現在値(電源値)の測定履歴と収差量の測定履歴を記録し、当該測定履歴を参照して各時点において最適な寄生収差調整量を算出する。
図9に、本実施の形態に係る収差補正手順の一例を示す。以下では、本実施の形態に係る補正動作の詳細を、実施の形態1との相違点を中心に説明する。なお、以下の説明においても、多極子が磁極により構成されているものとし、収差補正器4の制御には電流を使用するものと仮定する。勿論、電極で構成された多極子であっても、同様の手順により収差補正を実現することができる。
本実施の形態に係る寄生収差調整量評価部16は、(1) 多極子に印加される電流変化量Δmに比例する寄生収差調整量と、(2) 現在までの寄生収差調整量の累積値と、(3)次回調整対象とする収差の調整用に印加されている調整値の現在値とその直前値との間の変化率に基づいて算出される寄生収差調整量との合計値を算出し、当該合計値に基づいて最終的な寄生収差調整量Δxを決定する。この関係を計算式で表すと次式となる。
図10に、ステップS97(図9)で実行される寄生収差調整電流の算出処理の具体例を示す。寄生収差調整量評価部16は、収差補正量評価部15から次回収差補正時に電流値を変化させる多極子の情報(本実施の形態では、収差補正器4の1段目を構成する8極子)と、収差補正量評価部15で算出された電流変化量Δmとを入力する。
図11に、制御コンピュータ101に接続される不図示の表示装置に表示されるGUI画面例を示す。このGUI画面を通じ、操作者は、自動補正による収差補正の実行状況を確認することができる。例えば操作者は、補正経過表示部111の参照により、補正状況を確認できる。また、操作者は、自動補正条件設定部112の参照により、自動補正の収束状態に応じて式(1)の定数パラメータK0 ~K2 を調節することができる。また、操作者は、メッセージ表示部113の参照により、現在の自動補正の詳細状況を確認することができる。また、操作者は、GUI画面に配置された自動補正開始ボタン114、自動補正一時停止ボタン115、自動補正アンドゥボタン116、自動補正停止ボタン117を用いて自動補正の動作を制御することができる。
本実施の形態に係るSEMシステムは、収差補正器4に印加する電流量の履歴や収差の履歴を記憶しているため、収差補正器4に現われる寄生収差の特性が経時的に変化する場合にも、収差補正器4の状況に応じた最適な調整を自動実行することができる。
本発明は、上述した実施の形態に限定されるものでなく、様々な変形例が含まれる。実際、上述した実施の形態は、本発明を分かり易く説明するために、詳細に説明したものであり、必ずしも説明した全ての構成要素を備えるものに限定されるものではない。また、ある実施の形態の構成要素の一部を他の実施の形態の構成要素に置き換えることも可能であり、ある実施の形態の構成要素に他の実施の形態の構成要素を加えることも可能である。また、各実施の形態の構成要素の一部について、他の構成要素の追加・削除・置換をすることが可能である。
