- the light reflecting layer is lightweight when made of aluminum and is easy to manufacture.
- the shielding portion 113 can be formed by using, for example, a chrome metal thin film. Further, the shielding portion 113 can be formed by using, for example, an alloy. Alloys can be composed of two or more of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, aluminum, yttrium, nickel, and iron. Alternatively, the shielding portion 113 may be formed using a polymer. Further, metal particles may be mixed in the polymer. The metal particles are, for example, aluminum, zinc, copper, iron, silver, gold, or nickel.

In this embodiment, the shielding unit 113 shields a part of the light 112, but in another embodiment described later, the shielding unit 113 shields a part of the signal electron 107. Both of these may be shielded.
- the fluorescent layer 109a is formed by using an inorganic powder phosphor.
- the median diameter of the powder phosphor is, for example, in the range of 1 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
- a powder fluorophore having a diameter within this range can form a good fluorophore thin film.
- good resolution can be realized by using a powder phosphor having a diameter of 10 ⁇ m or less.
- the powder fluorophore includes, for example, any of the following: -P47 (Y 2 SiO 5 : Ce) -YAG or GGAG ((Y, Gd) 3 (Al, Ga) 5 O 12 : Ce, (Y, Gd) 3 (Al, Ga) 5 O 12 : Tb) -YAP (YALo 3 : Ce) -GOS (Gd 2 O 2 S: Pr, Gd 2 O 2 S: Ce, Gd 2 O 2 S: Tb)
- the powder phosphor can be formed by using a sedimentation coating method, a centrifugal coating method, a printing method, or the like.
- One surface of the fluorescent layer 109a (the surface constituting the emission surface of the scintillator 109) is arranged so as to be in contact with the incident surface of the light guide 110.
- a thin film of the collodion layer 109b is formed in contact with the other surface of the fluorescent layer 109a, and a thin film of the reflective layer 109c is further formed.
- the reflective layer 109c reflects light and increases the proportion of photons generated in the fluorescent layer 109a that are incident on the light guide 110.
- the collodion layer 109b is, for example, a resin layer.
- the resin layer may contain nitrocellulose. According to such a configuration, the resin layer can be formed thinly. Nitrocellulose may be contained in a suitable solvent (eg, ethyl acetate).
- the reflective layer 109c is made of, for example, aluminum and has a thickness of, for example, 700 to 1000 angstroms.
- the reflective layer 109c can be deposited by depositing pure aluminum on the collodion film.
- the crosstalk is reduced by the shielding unit 113. That is, the shielding unit 113 divides the regions where light can be emitted from the scintillator 109, and separates these regions from each other. Therefore, the light generated by the signal electron 107 incident in a certain region and the light generated by the signal electron 107 incident in another region do not incident at the same position in the photodetector 111. This reduces crosstalk.
- the shielding portion 113 may be arranged at a portion where crosstalk is desired to be reduced, and its specific shape can be arbitrarily designed. If the plurality of regions where light can be emitted from the scintillator 109 are completely separated from each other, the crosstalk between the regions can be further reduced, but it is not necessary to have such a configuration (that is, the plurality of regions). May be partially continuous with each other).
- the light transmittance of the shielding portion 113 can be appropriately designed by those skilled in the art, but if it is 60% or less, crosstalk can be appropriately reduced. As shown in FIG. 2B, the light transmittance of the shielding portion 113 can be reduced to 60% or less by using, for example, a chrome thin film having a thickness of 10 nm or more. This reduces crosstalk.
- the light guide 110 includes a surface on which the light emitted from the scintillator 109 is incident (incident surface) and a surface on which the light is emitted (emission surface). As shown in FIG. 2, the area of the exit surface of the light guide 110 is larger than the area of the incident surface of the light guide 110. Therefore, the light path is expanded by the light guide 110.
- MPPC for example, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Ltd., model: S13360-6025CS
- detection pixels of a fine quadrangle having a side of several tens of ⁇ m are spread on a quadrangular detection surface having a side of several mm.
- an electric signal is generated for each pixel, and the electric signal of each pixel represents the detection of one photon.
- the incident photon density becomes high and a plurality of photons are simultaneously incident on one detection pixel, the proportional relationship between the number of incident photons and the output current is broken, and an accurate photographed image cannot be obtained. That is, when the current of the primary electron beam becomes large, the photodetector may be saturated.
- the charged particle detection device 108a since the light guide 110 expands the optical path, the light emitted from the scintillator 109 is dispersed, and the density of photons incident on the photodetector 111 is reduced. To. Therefore, the photodetector 111 does not saturate even if the current of the primary electron beam increases, and a more accurate contrast image can be obtained.
- the resolution of a general scintillator is less than 1 mm, but the resolution of a general photodetector is at least about 1 mm, and the resolution of the scintillator cannot be effectively used when these are simply connected.
- the light from the scintillator 109 can be magnified and incident on the photodetector 111 by the light guide 110, so that the high resolution of the scintillator 109 is effective. It can be used.
- the area ratio between the incident surface of the scintillator 109 and the incident surface of the photodetector 111 is equal to the area ratio of the incident surface of the light guide 110 and the exit surface of the light guide 110.
- the area of the incident surface of the scintillator 109 and the area of the incident surface of the light guide 110 are equal, and the area of the incident surface of the light detector 111 and the area of the exit surface of the light guide 110 are equal. According to such a configuration, the dimensions of each component can be matched and the space can be efficiently used.
- the area of the incident surface of the photodetector 111 is 20 times or less the area of the incident surface of the scintillator 109. If it exceeds 20 times, the manufacturing process becomes complicated and the efficiency decreases.
- the central opening 118 As shown in FIG. 2, the detection surface 111a of the photodetector does not expand radially inward (center opening 118 side) with respect to the incident surface 109d of the scintillator, but expands radially outward. Is desirable. With such a configuration, a large number of signal electrons 107 can be detected.
- the present inventors have found that the transmittance of the light guide 110 (the ratio of the light emitted from the other surface to the light incident from one surface) differs depending on the propagation direction of the light.
- the transmittance is higher when the light propagates from the surface having a small area to the surface having a large area (corresponding to the present embodiment), and vice versa. Therefore, when the area of the exit surface is large with respect to the incident surface as in the present configuration, not only the saturation of the photodetector 111 can be avoided, but also the transmittance is large.
- the light guide 110 has a shape in which the cross-sectional area increases monotonically from the incident surface to the exit surface, but the shape of the light guide 110 is not limited to this.
- the shape may be such that the cross-sectional area decreases from the entrance surface to the exit surface up to a certain position, and the cross-sectional area increases beyond that position.

- the light guide 110 is composed of a plurality of divided blocks 110a.
- the divided blocks 110a are manufactured as separate members and arranged to form the light guide 110. Therefore, a discontinuous surface exists at the boundary of each divided block 110a, and the light is suppressed from propagating beyond the divided block 110a. This further reduces crosstalk.
- the photodetector 111b As shown in FIG. 3B, in this embodiment, as an example, eight array-shaped photodetectors 111b (for example, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Ltd., model: S13615-1025N-04) are arranged to form a photodetector. ing.

- the divided blocks 110a of the light guide 110 have a one-to-one correspondence with the detection cells 111c of the array-shaped photodetector, respectively. As a result, almost all of the photons incident on the divided block 110a are incident on the detection cell 111c corresponding to the divided block 110a, and the crosstalk is further reduced.
- the signal electron 107 incident on the incident surface 109d of the scintillator 109 is converted into a photon.
- the photon is incident on the divided block 110a directly above the incident position of the scintillator 109, and guides the inside of the divided block 110a. After that, the photon is incident on the detection cell 111c of the photodetector 111b corresponding to the divided block 110a.

- h be the axial distance from the surface of the sample 106 to the incident surface 109d of the scintillator.
- ⁇ be the emission angle of the signal electron 107 from the sample.
- a detection device capable of detecting the incident position of the signal electron 107 with high accuracy is particularly referred to as a position discrimination detection device in the present specification.
- the charged particle detection device 108b according to the second embodiment is an example of a position discrimination detection device.
- the incident position of the signal electron 107 can be specified to some extent, but the position discrimination detection device has higher position detection accuracy.
- the charged particle detection device 108b Since the charged particle detection device 108b according to the present embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to accurately discriminate the incident position of the signal electron on the detection surface. By accurately discriminating the incident position, the emission angle of the signal electron from the sample can be calculated, and detailed information on the material and shape of the sample can be obtained.
- FIG. 3C is a schematic view of the shielding portion 113 of the charged particle detection device 108b of FIG. 3A, and is a view seen from the sample side in the optical axis direction.

- Such a configuration is suitable for specifying the incident position of the signal electron 107 in a two-dimensional array.
- the aperture region 113c is separated from each other by a shielding portion 113, and the light generated by the signal electron 107 incident in one opening region 113c and the light generated by the signal electron 107 incident in another aperture region 113c are light. It does not enter the same position on the detector 111. This reduces crosstalk.
- the opening area 113c of the shielding portion 113, the divided block 110a of the light guide 110, and the detection cell 111c of the photodetector 111b are arranged so as to correspond to each other. Therefore, almost all of the light that has passed through the opening region 113c propagates through the dividing block 110a corresponding to the opening region 113c, and almost all of the light is incident on the detection cell 111c corresponding to the opening region 113c. .. In this way, crosstalk is reduced.

For example, the pitch L can be defined based on the maximum opening diameter of each opening region 113c.
- the thickness tb of the shielding portion 113 can be less than half the thickness ts of the fluorescent layer 109a. Such a configuration is suitable when the shielding portion 113 is embedded in the fluorescent layer 109a as shown in FIG. 3E.

- the light guide 117 includes a FOP119 (fiber optics plate).
- FOP119 is an optical component in which fine optical fibers having a diameter of several ⁇ m are bundled (for example, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Ltd., model: J5734).
- FOP119 has, for example, a tapered shape.
- Photons incident on the fiber on the incident surface of FOP119 are emitted from the same fiber on the exit surface without invading the adjacent fiber. Therefore, the photon can be transmitted to the emitting surface while preserving the incident position of the photon on the incident surface.
- the FOP119 has a tapered shape, and the area of the exit surface and the fiber diameter are larger than those of the incident surface, but the incident position information of photons on the incident surface can be transmitted while being preserved. Is the same as in Example 1.
- the incident position of the photon on the scintillator 109 is biased, and most of the signal electrons are incident at a position close to the orbit of the primary electron 102 (for example, in the range of several mm from the central opening 118). Since the charged particle detection device 108f of this embodiment disperses the photons incident at high density by the fine optical fiber of the tapered FOP119, it is possible to prevent the photodetector 111 from being saturated.
- the charged particle detection device of this embodiment has a structure in which the optical path is expanded by the tapered FOP119, so that the photodetector 111 does not saturate even if the current of the primary electron beam increases, and accurate contrast imaging is performed. You can get an image.
- the present inventors have found that the transmittance of the tapered FOP119 (the ratio of the light emitted from the other surface to the light incident from one surface) differs depending on the propagation direction of the light.
- the transmittance is higher when the light propagates from the surface having a small area to the surface having a large area (corresponding to the present embodiment), and vice versa. Therefore, when the area of the exit surface is large with respect to the incident surface as in the present configuration, not only the saturation of the photodetector 111 can be avoided, but also the transmittance is increased.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic view of the charged particle detection device 108 g according to the seventh embodiment.
- a photodetector 111b composed of a plurality of detection cells 111c is used as in the second embodiment.
- the light guide 117 includes a tapered FOP 119.
- Example 3 In the configurations of Example 3 (FIG. 4), Example 4 (FIG. 5), and Example 5 (FIG. 6), the opening region 113c of the shielding portion 113, the divided block 110a of the light guide 110, and the photodetector 111. It is necessary to accurately align the position with the detection cell 111c of.
- the fiber diameter of the tapered FOP is, for example, several ⁇ m, and can be sufficiently smaller than the size of the opening region 113c of the shielding portion 113 and the detection cell 111c of the photodetector 111. Therefore, when the aperture region 113c of the shielding portion 113 and the detection cell 111c of the photodetector 111 are position-matched with high accuracy, it is not necessary to improve the position matching accuracy of FOP119. In this way, the assembly process and structure of the charged particle detection device 108g are simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
- FIG. 9 is a schematic view of the charged particle beam device 100b according to the eighth embodiment.
- the primary electron 102 is extracted from the electron source 101.
- the charged particle beam device 100b has a scanning deflector 103 and an objective lens 104.
- the scanning deflector 103 and the objective lens 104 are arranged in the orbit of the primary electron 102.

- the signal electron includes a signal electron 107a having a small reflection depth on the sample 106 and a signal electron 107b having a large reflection depth on the sample 106.

- a charged particle detection device 108 is provided in the traveling direction of the deflected signal electrons. As the charged particle detection device 108, any of the charged particle detection devices according to the first to seventh embodiments can be used.
- the charged particle detection device 108 outputs a signal corresponding to the detected signal electron. By synchronizing this signal with the scanning signal (the signal sent from the system control unit 120 to the scanning deflector 103), an observation image is formed on the monitor 121.
- the E ⁇ B deflector 116 is a deflector that utilizes the behavior of electrons in an electric field and a magnetic field, and it is said that electrons incident from above (primary electrons) are not deflected, but electrons incident from below (signal electrons) are deflected. Has a function.
- the signal electrons include the backscattered electrons that the primary electrons are reflected in the sample and emitted from the sample.
- Reflected electrons generally refer to electrons having an energy of 50 eV or more, and the magnitude of the energy differs depending on the reflection depth in the sample.
- the energy of the reflected electrons decreases as the reflection depth in the sample increases, and increases as the reflection depth decreases.
- the angle deflected by the E ⁇ B deflector depends on the magnitude of the energy of the electron, and the signal electron 107a having a small reflection depth on the sample has a large energy and is deflected at a small angle, and the reflection depth on the sample is large.
- the signal electron 107b has a small energy and is deflected at a large angle.

- the charged particle detection device 108 of the charged particle beam device 100b of the present embodiment can detect signal electrons according to the reflection depth based on the position of the detection cell of the optical detector when the signal electrons are incident. , The reflection depth can be calculated.
- an observation image using only signal electrons having the same reflection depth, it is possible to acquire an observation image at a certain depth of the sample, and it is possible to acquire an observation image at each depth. .. By stacking them in the order of reflection depth, a three-dimensional observation image of the sample can be obtained.
