Title: Method of observing specimen
Inventor: MIYAMOTO ATSUSHI
IPC: H01J37/22
Filed: 2012-11-19
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform high accuracy measurement by accurately estimating an observation direction when measuring a three-dimensional size or shape while observing a specimen from an oblique direction by using SEM.SOLUTION: A convergent electron beam is radiated on a specimen with a known shape. Electrons discharged from a specimen surface are detected. By using an image, which visualizes intensity of the detected electrons, an incident direction of the convergent electron beam is estimated on the basis of a geometric deformation on the image of the specimen with the known shape. And a three-dimensional shape or a shape of a cross section of a specimen to be observed is obtained from an SEM image of the specimen to be observed by using information of the estimated incident direction of the convergent electron beam.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acoustic wave device capable of reducing spurious adjacent to resonance frequency and anti-resonant frequency.SOLUTION: The acoustic wave device includes: a comb-shaped medium which is formed in a pattern shape identical to an IDT electrode on a piezoelectric substrate; the IDT electrode laminated on the medium with the upper face facing an excitation space; and a dielectric film formed to fill gaps on the side face of the medium and the IDT electrode. The density of the IDT electrode is larger than the densities of the piezoelectric substrate, the medium and the dielectric film. With this, SH waves propagate being concentrated inside of IDT electrode and the sound speed of the SH waves reduced; thus, the sound speed difference between the SH waves and Rayleigh waves which propagate on the surface of the substrate is increased. As a result, an acoustic wave device having extremely small spurious of undesired waves and spurious adjacent to resonance frequency primary waves can be achieved.
