    Abstract: When a signal electron is detected by energy selection by combining and controlling retarding and boosting for observation of a deep hole, etc., the only way for focus adjustment is to use a change in magnetic field of an objective lens. However, since responsiveness of the change in magnetic field is poor, throughput reduces. A charged particle beam device includes: an electron source configured to generate a primary electron beam; an objective lens configured to focus the primary electron beam; a deflector configured to deflect the primary electron beam; a detector configured to detect a secondary electron or a reflection electron generated from a sample by irradiation of the primary electron beam; an electrode having a hole through which the primary electron beam passes; a voltage control power supply configured to apply a negative voltage to the electrode; and a retarding voltage control power supply configured to generate an electric field, which decelerates the primary electron beam, on the sample by applying the negative voltage to the sample, wherein the charged particle beam device performs focus adjustment while an offset between the voltage applied to the electrode and the voltage applied to the sample is being kept constant.

    Abstract: In the case of a conventional gas field ionization ion source, it was not possible to carry out an analysis with a high S/N ratio and a high-speed machining process because the current amount of an ion beam is small. In view of these problems, the present invention has been devised, and its object is to obtain a large ion beam current, while suppressing a probability of damaging an emitter electrode. The present invention is characterized by a process in which an ion beam is emitted at least in two operation states including a first operation state in which, when a first extraction voltage is applied, with the gas pressure being set to a first gas pressure, ions are emitted from a first ion emission region at the apex of the emitter electrode, and a second operation state in which, when a second extraction voltage that is higher than the first extraction voltage is applied, with the gas pressure being set to a second gas pressure that is higher than the first gas pressure, ions are emitted from a second ion emission region that is larger than the first ion emission region.

    Abstract: A diffraction aberration corrector formed by the multipole of the solenoid coil ring and having a function of adjusting the degree of orthogonality or axial shift of the vector potential with respect to the beam axis. In order to cause a phase difference, the diffraction aberration corrector that induces a vector potential, which is perpendicular to the beam axis and has a symmetrical distribution within the orthogonal plane with respect to the beam axis, is provided near the objective aperture and the objective lens. A diffracted wave traveling in a state of being inclined from the beam axis passes through the ring of the magnetic flux. Since the phase difference within the beam diameter is increased by the Aharonov-Bohm effect due to the vector potential, the intensity of the electron beam on the sample is suppressed.
