Title:
CHARGED PARTICLE BEAM APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/052854
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It has been difficult to obtain pattern contrast required for inspecting a specific layer of a circuit pattern in a charged particle beam apparatus which inspects, by using a charged particle beam, the position and type of a defect on a wafer having a circuit pattern which is in semiconductor manufacturing process. At the time of inspecting the position and type of a defect on a wafer having a circuit pattern which is in semiconductor manufacturing process by using a charged particle beam emitted from a charged particle source (11), the wafer arranged on a holder (20) is irradiated with light in wavelength ranges different from each other from a light irradiation system (9), and at the same time, the wafer is irradiated with a charged particle beam. Thus, contrast of an image is improved and inspection is performed with high sensitivity.
