To improve alignment accuracy of an optical element. An alignment device includes an optical element, a base portion that holds the optical element and is supported in a state movable in an X-direction and a Y-direction intersecting with the X-direction, a mechanical driving unit driven by a pressure of a fluid, a member in contact with the base portion pushed by the mechanical driving unit, a stage portion that holds the member and is supported in a state movable in the Y-direction, the mechanical driving unit driven by a pressure of a fluid, and a member in contact with the stage portion pushed by the mechanical driving unit. The optical element has a position: adjusted by a balance between the pushing force by the mechanical driving unit and an elastomeric force in which at least one of the base portion and the member elastically deforms in the X-direction; and adjusted by a balance between the pushing force by the mechanical driving unit and an elastomeric force in which at least one of the stage portion and the member elastically deforms in the Y-direction.

Alignment device and optical device

A defect observation device detects a defect with high accuracy regardless of a defect size. One imaging configuration for observing an observation target on a sample is selected from an optical microscope, an optical microscope, and an electron microscope, and an imaging condition of the selected imaging configuration is controlled.

Defect observation device

Provided is a defect detection device including an illumination unit including a condenser lens and a plurality of light beam synthesis units, and a detection unit detecting scattered light generated on a sample by the illumination unit. The condenser lens condenses a plurality of light beams, emitted onto the sample and having substantially the same wavelength and substantially the same polarization, on the sample. The plurality of light beam synthesis units bring the plurality of light beams close to each other and make the light beams have light paths parallel to the optical axis of the condenser lens.
