Title:
ELECTRON BEAM APPLICATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/157809
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention achieves a high resolution even in the case of using a light-excited electron source as an electron source in a scanning electron beam application device that two-dimensionally scans an electron beam on a sample. Accordingly, this electron beam application device has: a photocathode (1) having a substrate (11) having a refractive index exceeding 1.7 and a photoelectric film (10); a converging lens (2) for converging excitation light on the photocathode; an extraction electrode (3) disposed facing the photocathode and accelerating the electron beam generated from the photoelectric film of the photocathode in such a way that the excitation light is converged by the converging lens, transmits the substrate of the photocathode, and is made to be incident; and an electron optical system including a deflector (25) for two-dimensionally scanning the electron beam accelerated by the extraction electrode on a sample. In the electron beam application device, the spherical aberration of the converging lens is set such that the root-mean-square of the spherical aberration is less or equal to 1/14 of the wavelength of the excitation light on the photoelectric film.
