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 5):
The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the pyramid prism is shaped to be symmetrical about an optical axis of the pyramid prism and arranged to be coaxial with the second lens, and the pyramid prism is configured to retroreflect, symmetrically about the optical axis of the pyramid prism, the emergent laser reflected off the second reflector back to the second reflector.
