Charged particle beam device and image forming method using same
In order to improve visibility of a measurement/inspection image in an inspection measurement apparatus inspecting or measuring a fine pattern, a charged particle beam device is configured to include a charged particle optical system that irradiates a surface of a sample with a converged charged particle beam so as to perform scanning, a detection unit that detects secondary charged particles generated from the sample irradiated with the charged particle beam by the charged particle optical system, an image forming unit that receives a detection signal from the detection unit and forms an image of the sample, an image processing unit that processes the image formed in the image forming unit, and a display unit that displays a result processed by the image processing unit, in which the image forming unit includes an analog signal processing portion that processes an analog signal component of the detection signal in the detection unit so as to form an image, a pulse count method signal processing portion that processes a pulse signal component of the detection signal in the detection unit so as to form an image, and an image combination processing portion that combines the image formed in the analog signal processing portion with the image formed in the pulse count method signal processing portion.
