要とされる。2. Description of the Related Art For example, a crystal oscillator (crystal wafer) used for a reference oscillator or the like is obtained by cutting a crystal lump and cutting it into a thin plate. It is necessary that the plane (cut plane) and the crystal lattice plane have a predetermined angular relationship according to the application.

In this cut surface inspection, X-rays of a certain wavelength are made incident on the surface (cut surface) of a quartz oscillator as a sample, and an incident angle at which diffraction occurs is obtained. Although the angle between them is determined, in order to perform a precise inspection, a sample positioning mechanism for accurately positioning a quartz oscillator, which is a sample, at a fixed position on a cut plane inspection apparatus is required.

たものとが開発されている。Hitherto, as a positioning mechanism used in the cut surface inspection apparatus, one or two actuators such as air cylinders are used to hold a sample on a base fixed on the cut surface inspection apparatus. Attached form has been developed. In this case, the base includes a mounting surface on which the sample is mounted, and a positioning protrusion that restrains movement of the sample in the direction along the mounting surface by abutting an outer peripheral portion of the sample on the mounting surface. The configuration is as follows. In the conventional case, the smooth surface itself with the polished surface itself as the mounting surface,
A configuration has been developed in which a mounting surface is provided by the tips of a plurality of protrusions.

The actuator is used to urge the positioning projection and the mounting surface to be kept in contact with each other.

圧縮性のものとなる。By the way, a crystal unit to be inspected on a cut surface usually has a thickness of 0.2 mm or less and a thickness of 2 mm or less.
Each of the sides is a thin plate having a length of about 9 mm, and has a drawback in that, when an external force is locally applied to the surface or the outer peripheral portion is compressed, deflection is likely to occur. On the other hand, the conventional positioning mechanism presses the sample on the base with an actuator such as an air cylinder.
The force acting on the sample from the actuator is local,
It becomes compressible.

自体を大きく損なう虞れがある。[0007] Therefore, in the case of the conventional positioning mechanism, there is a possibility that the inspection accuracy may be reduced due to the bending of the sample caused by the external force from the actuator. In the case of the above-described conventional positioning mechanism, it is considered that the degree of deflection is slightly different depending on the type of provision of the mounting surface on the base. That is, in the case where the mounting surface is used as the mounting surface with the polished smooth surface itself, and in the case where the mounting surface is provided by the tips of the plurality of protrusions, the former is more unfavorable because of the deflection. However, in the former case, there is a possibility that dust or the like intervenes between the mounting surface of the base and the surface of the sample, and the positioning accuracy itself by the mounting surface may be greatly impaired.

目的とする。The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and does not apply an external force locally to the surface of a sample, and does not apply a compressive force to the outer peripheral portion of the sample. The thin plate sample can be positioned at the upper fixed position, and therefore, the thin plate sample that is likely to be bent is also
It is an object of the present invention to provide a sample positioning mechanism that can perform high-precision positioning without causing deflection and can improve processing accuracy such as inspection of a sample after positioning.

め機構。2. A sample positioning mechanism for positioning a thin plate-shaped sample at a predetermined position of an apparatus for performing an inspection or the like on the sample, comprising: a base on which the sample is mounted; and a sample positioned at a predetermined position on the base. And a biasing means for pressing the sample in close contact with the base. The base has three protrusions for abutting the tip of the thin plate on the mounting surface of the sample and performing positioning in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the sample. Part, and a corner that restrains movement of the sample in the direction along the mounting surface by abutting the outer periphery of the sample with the mounting surface on these projections; A sample positioning mechanism having a structure in which a sample is brought into close contact with the protrusions and the corners by blowing an air current toward the ridges of the corners.
