Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for laser-assisted electron-beam inspection (EBI) are provided. The apparatus includes an EBI device and a laser illumination device. The EBI device includes an e-beam source configured to emit an incident e-beam, a deflector configured to deflect the incident e-beam to be projected onto a surface of a semiconductor device, and an electron detector configured to detect emergent electrons generated by the incident e-beam projected onto the surface. The laser illumination device includes a laser source configured to generate a laser, and a guiding device configured to guide the laser to be projected onto the semiconductor device. The laser changes the emergent electrons to cause, in a positive mode of the EBI apparatus, a PN junction of an NMOS of the semiconductor device to be in a conduction state.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the first lens is a Fourier lens configured to change the laser spot to be of a predetermined size on a rear focal plane of the Fourier lens.
