Apparatus for ion beam work

摘要

This invention discloses an ion beam work apparatus which comprises ion mean radiation means for focusing and radiating an ion beam extracted from an ion source to a target put on a moving mechanism, and scanning two-dimensionally the radiation position; secondary particle detection means for detecting the secondary particles generated from the target upon radiation of the ion beam; and superposition-display means for superposing the secondary particle image with a different kind of image containing such information that is not contained in the secondary particle image, and displaying the resulting image; and which can accurately position the beam radiation position to lower wiring layers of the target such as a semiconductor device that can not be observed by the secondary particle image obtained by scanning the focused ion beam.
