Title:
PROBE ASSESSMENT METHOD AND SPM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/137600
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This method is for assessing a probe by measuring, on an electronic microscope, a known sample having a known shape by use of the probe. A projection part is formed on the surface of the known sample, and has a shape tapered toward a vertex. The method comprises: a step (S8) for comparing the circle equivalent radius (R) of the projection part with a first threshold value (P) upon measurement of the circle equivalent radius (R); a step (S10) for determining that the probe is satisfactory when the width thereof is less than the first threshold value (P); and a step (S12) for determining that the probe is unsatisfactory when the width thereof is the first threshold value (P) or more.
