    Abstract: An ion beam device according to the present invention suppresses the fluctuation of an ion emission current by cleaning the inside of a chamber without entailing wear damage to an emitter electrode. The ion beam device includes a GFIS including an emitter electrode having a needle-shaped tip; an extraction electrode having an opening at a position spaced apart from the tip of the emitter electrode; and a chamber encapsulating the emitter electrode therein. The GFIS includes an ionizable gas introduction path for introducing an ionizable gas into the chamber in a state where a voltage equal to or more than a beam generating voltage is applied to the emitter electrode; and a cleaning gas introduction path for introducing a cleaning gas into the chamber in either a state where a voltage less than the beam generating voltage is applied to the emitter electrode or a state where no voltage is applied to the emitter electrode. A pressure of the chamber with the cleaning gas introduced therein is higher than a pressure of the chamber when the ionizable gas is introduced therein.

    Abstract: An ion beam device according to the present invention includes a gas field ion source including an emitter tip supported by an emitter base mount, a ionization chamber including an extraction electrode and being configured to surround the emitter tip, and a gas supply tube. A center axis line of the extraction electrode overlaps or is parallel to a center axis line of the ion irradiation light system, and a center axis line passing the emitter tip and the emitter base mount is inclinable with respect to a center axis line of the ionization chamber. Accordingly, an ion beam device including a gas field ion source capable of adjusting the direction of the emitter tip is provided.

    Abstract: An ion beam processing apparatus includes an ion beam irradiation optical system that irradiates a rectangular ion beam to a sample on a first sample stage, an electron beam irradiation optical system that irradiates an electron beam to the sample, and a second sample stage to hold a test piece, extracted from the sample. The ion beam can be tilted by rotating the second sample stage about a tilting axis. A controller controls the width of skew of an intensity profile representing an edge of the rectangular ion beam in a direction perpendicular to a first direction in which the tilting axis of the second sample stage is projected on the second sample stage surface so that the width will be smaller than the width of skew of an intensity profile representing another edge of the ion beam in a direction parallel to the first direction.
