Abstract:
1. A method of analyzing an object using a charged particle beam device, the charged particle beam device comprising a charged particle source to generate a charged particle beam, an objective lens to focus the charged particle beam onto the object, a first detector to detect interaction radiation and a second detector to detect interaction particles, the object comprising a sample and a resin, the method comprising: generating the charged particle beam using the charged particle source; using the objective lens to guide the charged particle beam onto the sample and the resin; guiding the charged particle beam over the sample and the resin; generating interaction radiation emitted from the sample and the resin due to interaction of the charged particle beam with the sample and the resin; detecting the interaction radiation using the first detector to identify a first area in which the resin is arranged and to identify a second area in which the sample is arranged; identifying a position of at least one particle of the resin in the first area or at least one particle of the sample in the second area by detecting interaction particles using the second detector, the interaction particles being generated by the interaction of the charged particle beam with the at least one particle of the resin or the at least one particle of the sample; and using the charged particle beam to analyze the at least one particle of the resin or the at least one particle of the sample.
