APPARATUS OF CHARGED-PARTICLE BEAM SUCH AS SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE COMPRISING PLASMA GENERATOR, AND METHOD THEREOF

The present invention provides an apparatus of charged-particle beam e.g. an electron microscope comprising a plasma generator for selectively cleaning BSE detector. In various embodiments, the plasma generator is located between a sample stage and a sample table having one or more openings or holes. The plasma generator generates plasma and distributes or dissipates the plasma through the openings of the sample table toward and onto surface of the BSE detector. Cleaning contaminants on the surface of the BSE detector frequently and selectively with in-situ generated plasma can prevent the detectors from performance deterioration such as losing resolution and contrast in imaging at high levels of magnification.

IMAGING FOR MONITORING THICKNESS IN A SUBSTRATE CLEANING SYSTEM

A substrate cleaning system includes a cleaner module to clean a substrate after polishing of the substrate, a drier module to dry the substrate after cleaning by the cleaner module, a substrate support movable along a first axis from a first position in the drier module to a second position outside the drier module, and an in-line metrology station including a line-scan camera positioned to scan the substrate as the substrate is held by the substrate support and the substrate support is between the first position to the second position. The first axis is substantially parallel to a face of the substrate as held in by the substrate support.

APPARATUS OF CHARGED-PARTICLE BEAM SUCH AS ELECTRON MICROSCOPE COMPRISING PLASMA GENERATOR, AND METHOD THEREOF

The present invention provides an apparatus of charged-particle beam e.g. an electron microscope comprising an in-column plasma generator for selectively cleaning BSE detector and BF/DF detector. In various embodiments, the plasma generator is located between a lower pole piece of objective lens and the BF/DF detectors, but outside trajectory area of the charged-particles from the sample stage to the BF/DF detector. Cleaning decomposed biological samples or contaminants on the surface of the detectors frequently and selectively with in-situ generated plasma can prevent the detectors from performance deterioration such as losing resolution and contrast in imaging at high levels of magnification.
