Title:
SPIN-POLARIZED SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/007687
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to provide a spin-polarized scanning electron microscope with which it is possible to improve the SNR of a signal to be detected, this spin-polarized scanning electron microscope is characterized by comprising: a spin-polarized electron source that irradiates a sample with a spin-polarized electron beam the spin of which is deflected in a specific direction; a scanning unit that deflects the spin-polarized electron beam and scans the sample; a spin detector that detects the direction of spin of an emitted electron, which is an electron emitted from the sample scanned with the spin-polarized electron beam; and a control unit that, on the basis of the direction of spin of the spin-polarized electron beam, controls the direction of spin to be detected by the spin detector.
