Charged particle beam apparatus, specimen observation system and operation program
First Claim
1. A charged particle beam apparatus comprising:
- a memory coupled to a processor, the memory storing executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to;
display a first screen, on a display device, including a first button and a plurality of observation target setting buttons for changing an observation condition for a specimen, the observation condition comprising a combination of parameter setting values of the charged particle beam apparatus,upon receiving a selection of one of the observation target setting buttons and a selection of the first button, control the charged particle beam apparatus to acquire information of the specimen by irradiating a primary electron beam on the specimen according to the combination of parameter setting values corresponding to the selected one of the observation target setting buttons,upon receiving the selection of one of the observation target setting buttons and the selection of the first button, transition the first screen to a background screen and display a second screen over the first screen on the display device, the second screen simultaneously including a schematic diagram screen indicating a current irradiation status of the irradiation of the specimen by the primary electron beam in a schematic diagram, and a progress screen indicating a current irradiation progress of the irradiation of the specimen by the primary electron beam.

Abstract
For a novice user to easily recognize a difference between imaging results caused by a difference between observation conditions, a computer has an operation screen display observation target setting buttons for changing an observation condition for a specimen including a combination of parameter setting values of a charged particle beam apparatus. The processing unit has the operation screen display a radar chart including a characteristic, indicated by three or more incompatible items, of an observation condition for each of the observation target setting buttons. The radar chart indicates at least items of high resolution, emphasis on surface structure and emphasis on material difference.
